aqua59 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Not a flop... NJD and NSH are both out of the playoffs but the spenders (MIN) are in a playoff spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppleJack Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 If they don't make the playoffs it will be a flop!!! Speaking of which how many more wins does Van need to win the NW division/ grab that 3rd overall spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Minnesota has one fewer win than Vancouver. Suter and Parise are home grown players that wanted to play for the Wild. They are elite players that are the core going forward. Pominville gives them 1-2 C strength. Heatley sucks but one more year and he is out of there. I like Minny and they play the Nucks hard. Nobody freaked out about the Luongo and Sundin debacles.although it is easy to read between the lines that Gillis is now feeling the heat and that is as it should be.

Aladeen Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 both teams has 8 games left. Nucks has 6 more points. I think 4/8 wins should win the division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Check out the score board from last night. Minny loses 2-0. Another loss. It wasn't that long ago that people were talking about Vancouver losing it's grip on first in their division. 6 points at this stage of the season is going to be pretty hard for Minny to make up. Spending all that cash on two players has been a flop. People talk about Luongo's deal, what about the Minny deal? If Minny doesn't make it people are going to be freaking in Minny. That deal is fresh. I'm glad Gillis and Co have stayed the course. It looks like another division win for Vancouver and home ice advantage.

Mookie Wilson Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 The division looks good for us. For this year. The Suter and Parise signings have been great for the Wild. They are veteran compliments to a young core Minny will be developing over the next few years. In fact, Minny has perhaps surpassed expectations, given they have so many young players in significant roles. The Suter and Parise signings were more about the years to come rather than the immediate future. The future is bright for Minnesota. But for Vancouver? I'm not saying we'll have to start rebuilding within a few years, but it does look as though Minny is better set up for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poetica Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Don't they have fans that can worry about their team? Seriously, they do have fans don't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai604 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I wouldn't call it a flop as they are in playoff contention and will most likely make it in, compared to last year when they weren't anywhere near. I would say that perhaps they didn't meet the unrealistic and lofty expectations they had set out for themselves at the beginning of the season. It's undeniable that Parise and Suter have made a huge difference, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks_fo_life Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Minnesota's lucky its not an 82 game season, otherwise they wouldnt make the playoffs yet again. Team can't score goals, hope we play them in round 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poetica Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 The Wild are in a great hockey state and in a City that has knowledgeable fans that care... They definitely have fans that worry about their team... there is zero question as to why the NHL is in Minny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
