  1. Prospects for a #1 star defenseman? I know our prospects are good, but I wouldn't trade a Dahlin or Heiskanen for prospects. I'd want a star player back plus a prospect/pick.
  2. The team is looking real good. Hughes is the best defenseman in the league right now. And Sutter? What happened? He's on fire.
  3. The Blues might be the champs, but the Avs and the Golden Knights are way scarier. If we beat the Blues, we will be more ready for the Avs or Knights.
  4. Minnesota was the perfect warm up team before we take out the champs. I think the Wild's big players are faster than the Blue's big players. But the Blues play such a well structured game. It will be a good series. Canucks in 6.
  5. I'd rather we play St Louis, so it's all good. We always seem to play great against them.
  6. I didn't get to see Orr play much; I was just a kid. But I remember one game when he always had the puck. He was like an extra man for every position on the ice. Just like Hughes.
  7. I think Oli makes the team next year as the third left d starter or the 7th defenseman at the very least.
  8. Hughes is an absolute gem. For a rookie to be the best defenseman in the entire league so far these playoffs is a spectacular feat. He just HAS to win the Calder. It would be an injustice if he didn't.
  9. Gotta keep that Lotto line together. The TT experiment was fine, but the BB reality is better.
  10. Petey has a .95 points per game and Kane had a .88 points per game in their first 2 years. I'd take Petey over Kane any day of the week and twice on Mondays to Saturdays.
  11. We obviously need to change it up. 1 goal in 2 games doesn't cut it. Put Brock back with Petey. Myers with Edler. Let Bo's line (with TT) get back to the heavy, in your face, crash the net style of play they are so good at. Give Juolevi a Fanta shift here and there.
  12. Minny is sending 2 forecheckers to Hughes when we transition, which means they are one player short in the neutral zone. Take advantage, Greener.
  13. Its really starting to look like we did not prepare enough for this play in. For some reason we seem to be focusing on playing a heavy body, checking game. Thats what Minny wants. Our game is a speedy game; that's what makes us successful, and we are looking really slow.
  14. I think Juolevi looked pretty good in the Winnipeg game. He has a great breakout pass and a pretty sneaky shot too. He will be a regular guy in the lineup soon; no doubt about it.
  15. Our center depth would be better if a certain foundational player didn't lose his spot to a rookie.
  16. We need to drive the net if we want to win, especially against a good goalie. Didn't see too much of that last night. Lots of chances, but mostly perimeter play. If we get messy in front of their goalie and make Minny's defense work real hard, we have a great chance to win.

  18. This is the best our young talent has ever been. Its not even close in my opinion.
  19. Excuse me for the typo. I am not perfect. Shall I repost or is the apology adequate?
  20. I can see Hughes and Makar battling for Norris trophies for years to come. That being said, I think Hughes had a better rookie campaign and deserves the Calder. Being injured doesn't help Makar's cause, as Boeser knows.
