  1. Can't say I'm a fan of this trade at all. Losing the 2nd when we're already gonna be short a 1st in one of the next two drafts really hurts, and Tyler Madden was one of our best prospects. If we were going to make a move like this, I'd much rather it had been for help on the blueline. edit: Maybe they're expecting Boeser to be out pretty long term?
  2. Guess the boys feel we really need that 1st rd pick this year. Can't say I disagree after watching this game.
  3. If we can't beat the Ducks at home while the McDavid-less Oilers are winning road games then we don't deserve the make the playoffs, let alone win the division.
  4. From a marketing perspective, getting a local boy like Boeser would be huge for the Wild. As much as I'm loathe to move Boeser, the Wild may be willing to offer up quite the package for Boes. That said, I don't know if they have what we need. Our weakest point is on right D, and outside of Dumba, who hasn't been right since his surgery, I don't know what could offer us to fill that hole on our top pairing we desperately need filled. They're looking to rebuild as well so I imagine 1st rd picks would be off the table.
  5. Evander Kane calling out the NHL Department of Player Safety. Wow.

      I'm not a fan of Kane, but I agree with him here and give him props for saying what we all have been saying for years. Edit: I honestly don't think the hit was malicious or intentional. Kane didn't really raise his elbow at all ala Keith on D.Sedin. That hit happens a lot without any supplemental discipline. He went off on twitter posting Chara's crosscheck and a Lawson Crouse hit on Mcavoy which went unpunished and was, imo, worse than Kane's hit

  6. Petey, Hand and Danny were all namedropped on WWE Smackdown last night and I'm still not over it.

      As if anyone has even given a crap about WWE since 2008...

  7. I don't see eye to eye with you a ton, but I'm kinda with you on this. I'm not going to claim to be any sort of expert, but considering the severity of his issues and how quickly he was out again after trying to come back the first time, it seemed to me that sitting him out for the rest of the season was the wisest course of action for all involved.
  8. It seems like kinda bad taste to go on and on about his cap hit right now. A 27 year old with a bright future ahead of him has likely lost his career, and his health is in pretty serious jeopardy. That trumps any cap concerns.
  9. Honestly, I don't think he should have even attempted to come back this season. He should have sit the entire season and maybe tried coming back at the start of next year imo, although it kinda seems like it may have been a moot point regardless. There are times when hockey needs to take a backseat and this is one of them. He needs to think about his health first and foremost.
  10. Ferland left his first game in Utica with concussion like symptoms.

      @Master 112 , what are you on lately?

  11. It's all part of the plan. Frustrate the Blackhawks so much that they cream Calgary in their next game.
  12. Off the top of my head... 1) Burrows slays the dragon. 2) The game against Calgary where Henrik pretty much clinched the Art Ross and Daniel scored that crazy between-the-legs goal. 3) Petey's first goal. 4) Hank's quadruple overtime goal against Dallas. 5) Daniel scoring the game winner in OT in the Sedins final home game ever.
  13. The Sedins final OT winner set to Titanic music works way better than it should.

      Right in the feels.  I'm enjoying this way more than I should

       

  14. At the risk of getting hammered with a boatload of confused faces, I’m kind of annoyed with how Linden has been handling his interviews. The media here are bloodhounds, and nobody knows this better than Trevor. The fact that he name dropped Green and Bracket and purposely left out Benning when he could have just said the coaching staff and management, or how he said he had “mixed emotions” coming back. It seems like he’s trying to stir the pot a bit imho. Flame away.
  15. Not gonna lie, I'm still pretty damn salty about how Kesler left. Not for wanting out, but for handcuffing us in the way he did, which potentially nerfed our rebuild before it even got started. I don't think I can forgive that quite yet, even if he was a warrior for us. That being said, tomorrow night is about the Sedins, and any booing would just detract from a moment that they most definitely deserve. I don't give a flying farg about disrespecting Kesler, but it would be disrespectful to the twins to take away from their moment.
  16. So is Sportsnet airing the ceremony tomorrow?
  17. I'm less concerned with games where we're in the lead and get outshot and more concerned with the game where we're trailing and get outshot. If we're up on a team, it makes sense that the team chasing would be able to muster more shots, but if we're trailing, there's no excuse for not outshooting the opponent.
  18. Good win after a few stinker games. Hopefully this means the boys are back on track. Marky saved our butts in the 2nd. Huggy Bear is our best player.
  19. This kind of feels like the turning point of the season right now.
