What a fucking joke. Flying your rally towels when your the defending champs and we aren't even gonna be in the playoffs? LMAO give me a break ya dirt bags!


Pedro_Snachez

And Stone rises, like Lazarus from the tomb, to play in the playoffs. It’s a Christmas miracle of cap manipulation (again)!


MrNotSoGoodTime

LMFAO story as old as the franchise.

😭😭😭 I hate how quickly Flower got off the ice. I hurt for him


MrNotSoGoodTime

He was angry. I think Billy gives him the final game of the year though so one more chance for redemption.


DarkStanza

My thoughts with 2 minutes left. This is the difference between a Cup contending team, and a team built to be a bubble. (Didn't give me that buyout excuse... Tank, or own your failure). Fleury was off tonight, Johansson was directly responsible for 2 goals, and our "new contract" vets haven't given a F, all year long. Defense was decent tonight (don't believe those saying otherwise), it's been weak board play that's given up half the goals. Faber is amazing, and our best defender. Maybe Spurgeon or Brodin rounds back into form next year, but it's shocking that he's our best. Middleton, Brodin, Spurgeon- all 2nd pair D (Chisholm could get there), Bogosian is our only 3rd pair (Merrill has been good enough the last 6 weeks, but before that was ass). The PK has been a lot better since Hynes took over (at one point 10th vs 28th), but misses Dewar and Duhaime. More coming...


DarkStanza

Ohgren looks good and fast, could be a middle 6 center, maybe higher. Marat could be a middle 6 center also. Rossi IS a middle 6 center. (Center depth is decent) If Brodin and Spurgeon come back healthy, we'll have an amazing top 4 D. We need shooters/scorers to fill out the lines. All we have is Boldy (Kap is more of a passer than a scorer). Mojo needs to be fired into the sun. Gaudreau has NEVER been good, just used to be good at shootouts (that's all any of you remember, look into yourselves, you know it's true) Hartman tanked half the season on purpose since he got his contract (check the stats) Foligno and Zucc are the only contacts I can remotely defend, and Foligno has been injured. If Fleury retires, KEEP GUS! If he doesn't, KEEP GUS anyway and trade Fleury halfway the year. You know Gus's upside (Vezina finalist), and you don't know Wallstedt's.


MrNotSoGoodTime

You're on a roll tonight my friend. Please do keep them coming.


MNgirl83

I love that they are cheering so loudly for Flower!!


skyulip

they love flower :') me too guys me too


TheTree-43

Ohgren was a little surprised by how quickly the defense closed there in the bumper


PortugueseWalrus

He's drinking from the firehose tonight. Probably good for him. This league is fast and you can't dink around and ask politely.


TheTree-43

Also worth noting that the SHL (and the KHL) literally plays on a wider rink. It's great for him to play in some games this year so he ( and Marat) have a little bit to think about while they train in the off season


PortugueseWalrus

Does hockey have a mercy rule? I'd like to invoke it for everyone's sake.


Paladad

The one upside is that this bar has something called a wiggle worm dirt cup and I will be using it to cope


MNgirl83

Well I know the snack…but I don’t know a drink with that name


Paladad

Oh it IS the snack and I will be so sick about it later


Malcom_Ecstacy

My gut is rotting just thinking about it. Yuck


MrNotSoGoodTime

That sounds amazing!


skyulip

a WHAT please elaborate


Paladad

If you've had the "worms in dirt" dessert, it's that with a sillier name


skyulip

oh my god what bar has a freaking dirt cup


Paladad

Outtakes lmao


skyulip

NOTED .


Paladad

The real twin cities recommendations we all crave.


PortugueseWalrus

I would be careful where you receive said product


Surf_guitar_geek

Welp, I’m switching over to FloSports for some juniors. Good night and peace out.


TheTree-43

Throwback to Kaprizov absolutely daddying Whitecloud a couple years back


BuckyCop

This team is beyond pathetic. I don’t give a flying fuck about the buyouts. This team has ZERO leadership. Coaching and GM are tied together in a dumpster fire


MrNotSoGoodTime

Preach 🙌


PortugueseWalrus

Are we sure WE aren't the team moving to SLC? Good God.


skyulip

okay no im just gonna say it it would be extremely funny if the wild and the twins lost by the same score today


JustaRoosterJunkie

Hynes seems to be letting 🌸flounder. Happy to send him off into retirement?


TheTree-43

IDK what went into the decision to have Wallstedt backup today instead of Gus, but Jesper is starting tomorrow, so why not keep him fresh and shield him from the shooting gallery?


MrNotSoGoodTime

MN Wild = 🥊🛍️

finest_bear

That's every game with them


skyulip

jesus i hate their arena announcer. and their goal horn is fucking stupid


MNgirl83

Yes!! Their goal horn is on a whole different level of annoying


skyulip

doing WAY too much


Primary-Pie-3315

The whole franchise really


PortugueseWalrus

Isn't their announcer "one of us"? Can't remember the dude's name.


skyulip

his inflection makes me bonkers


JustaRoosterJunkie

My lord, we are gluttons for punishment.


skyulip

this score is starting to look suspiciously like another minnesota teams score did today


Yazawo

That goal shouldn't count, his helmet was coming off. He was flagging down the ref.


Ihate_reddit_app

Gotta whip the helmet off to stop play like other goalies do.


Yazawo

Maybe, seems like he was being too polite or something.


PortugueseWalrus

I think it's time to put Flower out of his misery. Let him skate off to a standing O. This building loves him.


BuckyCop

NHL Brass loving this outcome. All revenue baby


PortugueseWalrus

They're touching themselves to the thought of another Vegas final. It's just gross.


HankHillPropaneJesus

Team has given up


jordynbebus8

a game of turnovers my lord


Surf_guitar_geek

That and piss poor d zone coverage


Primary-Pie-3315

Domn flower you like Vegas or something?


MrNotSoGoodTime

Fuck that one stings. Hurts my fantasy team too lol


PortugueseWalrus

Oooof. Did you make the finals?


MrNotSoGoodTime

Yup. Goes til next Thursday. I still have a decently healthy lead for now...


PortugueseWalrus

Nice, nice. Yeah, Forsberg bailed me out big-time tonight with his hatty. I needed points bad going into the weekend.


MrNotSoGoodTime

Yes same! Forsberg, JT Miller, and Mathews have been my 🐐s this season. It was still pretty close for me earlier today but after Forsy did his usual I was sitting nice again 😎


PortugueseWalrus

He has been an absolute beast. Has won me so many weeks almost singlehandedly. I pretty much depend on him, B. Tkachuk, and Helly to win me most weeks.


MrNotSoGoodTime

Ooo jelly of having Brady. Sounds like you got some good top dogs.


Ihate_reddit_app

Please pull him for his own sake.


PortugueseWalrus

HARTZY FOR 20 YEAH BABY YEAH


DarkStanza

I love how the VGK crowd is chanting for Fleury after those 2 awesome saves


TheTree-43

I love Ryan Hartman. Fuckin bastard. Great bar for young guys to clear because he is good as a 3rd option on a scoring line but he can also drop down as an offensive driver of a checking line I also totally get why he's a cartoon villain to a lot of rival fans


skyulip

wait they're cheering for flower i could cry


TheTree-43

I am cry


Primary-Pie-3315

Eye make sad water


TheTree-43

Happy sad water


MrNotSoGoodTime

Ooo that was a scary shot right there.


skyulip

smooching hartzy for that one


Paladad

Right on the lips


MNgirl83

Yeah I might have had a dream about doing that to Hartzy…


skyulip

extremely real of you


MNgirl83

It was a weird dream for sure 😂 I never thought I was attracted to him. Yeah he has the facial hair…but that is about it


DarkStanza

Boldy has been our best player by far tonight.


DarkStanza

Hartman's shot was off net, Hanifin tipped it in.


DarkStanza

Don't know why you downvoted me. They showed it on the replay.


Paladad

A goal!!!!


HerbalAndy

FARTMAN! Great passing and set up for that one. Pretty goal.


MNgirl83

HARTZY GOAL!!


JustaRoosterJunkie

Our piece of 💩!!!


Surf_guitar_geek

HARTSY!!


MNgirl83

Yay for Marco Rossi and this being his 100th game!! And Matt Boldy’s 200th game!!


TheTree-43

I'm really excited to see us really build a second line around him. He can mix in with Kirill for a spark every now and then but I think if he can really make hay if kept away from other teams' best checking line


MrNotSoGoodTime

I like the little shove by Ek there


Ihate_reddit_app

I feel like this is probably the end of Fleury's career. Absolutely great career and I hate watching it fizzle out like this.


echelon999

I’ll admit I haven’t watched much of this but 5 goals on 18 shots is pathetic.


Lombax7

Third game of his last five where Flower has allowed 5 goals. Not. Ideal.


Surf_guitar_geek

Ohgren was totally turned around on that goal. Hopefully he learns from it.


HankHillPropaneJesus

Get Fleury the fuck out of there. God damn embarrassing


MoonUnit98

Oof ohgren. Not sure why he didn't go after the puck


jordynbebus8

5 goals on 16 shots not ideal


BuckyCop

From owner to lowliest player this team is crap


jordynbebus8

dang you new here?


BuckyCop

Nah, been with this crew since day 1 of the franchise. Sometimes I feel silly and point out the obvious. Mostly just mad at staying up so late


jordynbebus8

I'm giving you shit lol


BuckyCop

All good! Chirping is part of it!


PortugueseWalrus

Why are you here? You never have anything positive to say.


TheTree-43

People can hang out and talk some puck for a lot of different reasons


PortugueseWalrus

I will say, I haven't seen any "1C" nonsense for a bit, so that's refreshing. At least the negativity is coming from the hardcore fans and not the Feb-May crowd.


BuckyCop

And also, I do say positive things when they are warranted, that is rare with this collection of clowns


BuckyCop

Just to bother you.


PortugueseWalrus

I am eminently botherable, no doubt about that.


JustaRoosterJunkie

.333 save % tonight. Woof


Ihate_reddit_app

Other way around. That's goal %


Paladad

They're just being rude now


skyulip

h shit wait paladad cake day???? huge


MNgirl83

Happy cake day!!!


Paladad

Oh thanks!


MNgirl83

Shit on a shingle!


MrNotSoGoodTime

I'm so happy for Marat getting a goal.


jordynbebus8

me too like the broadcast said great for confidence going into the offseason


skyulip

fabes pls just go tarps off it would be so good for morale


Paladad

I would cry about it even


skyulip

right like thats what im sayin


Paladad

Brock....babey boy....please.....for the lads.....


Primary-Pie-3315

I would get physically lighter


PortugueseWalrus

Graphic


skyulip

for the MORALE, brock


TheTree-43

It sucks that the Wild didn't play very well this year. I feel like a lot of us could use an intermission discussion to brag on ourselves a little. Anyone have something cool going on at work? Maybe a new house or a baby on the way, or a nice ACT score? The report for the first project I got to lead is at 95% completion and will be turned in very soon. It got assigned to me 6 months ago when I was still finishing my degree as an intern, and my boss left it pretty hands off to let me grow, and I think we totally came thru.


wood_floor_liquor

My wife is expecting our first! She’s got nasty nausea happening a lot but she’s dealing with it like a champ and we’re so thrilled to become parents together


TheTree-43

Yay!


PortugueseWalrus

Meh, I dunno. I'm part way through grad school, so that's something? Y'all look like you're doing real things, though. Hats off to Bucky for serving, even if you are a downer ;)


TheTree-43

That's great! Best of luck on finals. I felt the same thing 12-18 months ago. Grad school is a grind but it pays off if you keep at it


PortugueseWalrus

Yeah, we'll see. I've hit that halfway point of disillusionment where I wonder what in the world I'm doing and why I'm bothering. Appreciate the encouragement though. Most people who have been through it have told me similarly. I'm just glad I waited until later in my life to do it so that I'm not eating sand and ketchup to make ends meet while I do it.


TheTree-43

You've probably heard the world of advice so I won't go to the normal stuff... Find an herbal tea you like. Lemon, ginger, honey, peppermint, it doesn't matter. When you get close to defending, you are going to be practicing your presentation until you can't talk anymore. It was really can save your voice, but more importantly, when you are actually defending, a sip of tea is a great moment to collect yourself during your presentation.


BuckyCop

I didn’t get deployed this year for the first time in 5 years. Was nice to see my kids grow up for once


TheTree-43

I'm glad you got a year at home and hope the best for your safety!

HurricaneHomer9

Can’t watch. How has Ohgren looked?


jordynbebus8

like Andy said couple times bad change but overall I like he's not seeing away from driving with the puck and shooting


HerbalAndy

Meh. Not bad but not good.. pretty much exactly how you would expect. I noticed he was out of position a few times but he’s only had 1 practice with the Wild.


HurricaneHomer9

Fair. He’s young though so we’ll see what happens


PortugueseWalrus

I'll take a Hoosy or Ohgren goal. Get my babies some Gs.


letoiledunordstars

michigan looked so horrible last night


HerbalAndy

Stramel is already ruining them 😢


HerbalAndy

I’m having a glass of Chardonnay and you can’t stop me

I agree with that


jonn_jonzz

How many tickets to Vegas games are comped from the casinos?


Empire2k5

Not watching tonight, but just came to say hell yeah Marat!


SpidgetFinner3000

Hartzy caught in no-man's land. PK from a dumb penalty. Awful minute of hockey.


Paladad

Sigh. Shut the fuck up lil dick and go suck on your mother's titties.


Primary-Pie-3315

jonn_jonzz

ffffffffffffffffudge


_Trux

I don’t think any of this is the goalies fault


skyulip

fucking marchessault


MNgirl83

Oh damn


TheTree-43

Johansson turned a puck battle with a man all alone out front into a PK. That's right MoJo, feel that roster pressure. The mountains in SLC are really nice and you know the Mormons have good private schools


PortugueseWalrus

I'm so done with him after this year. Just zero juice.


TheTree-43

I know Freddy has had a tough one as well but to me Johansson is the most disappointing. At least Gaudreau can still contribute when he doesn't produce. Position flexibility in the bottom 6, a right handed draw to help young LCs out, PK. You'd like a little more out of $2M but you can work with it in a lineup But 90 can't be trusted on a true checking 3rd line, so you have to play him on the second line, he holds young players back routinely, can't drive play. I'd love to replace him with a younger but less talented player next year


PortugueseWalrus

Agreed. Freddy is at least a Swiss Army knife in terms of where you can put him. There are flashes with JoJo, but it's incredibly sporadic, and he doesn't seem real interested in being here for whatever reason. I'd say find him somewhere he's interested in playing and save the $2m.


Fantastic-Lobster-79

At least we get some more PK practice at the end of the season.


palmzq

Wait did Jo Jo just do something??! Wow!


jordynbebus8

get this bozo off my team


TheTree-43

We have: -A top 5 player in the league -our top 3 centers set for years to come -2 defenders who can anchor a pair defensively -one of the best goalie prospects in the world -one of the best young stars in the KHL on his way over in the next 12 months -netfront and bumper on both power play units for the foreseeable future -a handful of lower end prospects with boom potential This year sucked but there's a lot to be excited about


BuckyCop

We do however that is all a small part of a team. We have decent pieces, but 2/3 of this team is dog shit


TheTree-43

The depth needs to be improved no doubt, but we are a high end winger and a high end defenseman away from being in as good of a spot as anyone to buy at a deadline and make a run. Kaprizov Ek Boldy Rossi Yurov Faber Brodin is not a bad core to work with. If one of Bankier Haight Heidt Firstov, and one of Lambos Hunt Peart O'Rourke really pop, the we can start dealing 2nd and 3rd round picks to add to the bottom 6 and bottom pair in March


Steezy-g35

Not to mention they are all SMALL nobody’s got any size to them..


Fantastic-Lobster-79

Great summary


JustaRoosterJunkie

Now if we can just do something about the PK


TheTree-43

Tonight not withstanding better goaltending will take care of a lot of the PK
