• RIP Ray Emery, 35 yrs old July 16, 2018
  I remember after his hip replacement the Doctors cautioned Ray about playing hockey again. They told him they wanted him to still be able to walk in ten years. He told them as long as he can play hockey for five, he’ll be fine. That was about 8 years ago. Rest In Peace Rayzor.
• Flyers 2018-19 Offseason moves July 16, 2018
  I honestly doubt they would do it even for Hart. He definitely has the potential to make a trade possible with someone, but Boston is competitive now, while Hart is not. Relying on Halak to back stop their current config into a playoff run is a recipe for disaster. I'm sure they know that. I […]
• Blackhawks down!! Offseason primer July 16, 2018
  Welcome to the boards. I think the Panarin ship has sailed. Columbus now would have NO good reason to trade him back to the Hawks. As for Shaw (I am assuming you are talking about Andrew Shaw), he would be nice to have back if you are a Hawks fan, but for the almost $4M […]
• Retire 91 or no? July 16, 2018
  Since I’m nowhere near Detroit, I have to read about what going on there hockey-wise. And because I’m only seeing it in the Freep and not the Detroit News—whose hockey writers I prefer over Helene St. James—perhaps this is simply St. James just creating a story more than a story in itself. That said, is […]
• 2018-19 Iowa Wild and other Wild Prospects Discussion July 16, 2018
  Pulkkinen is an apt comparison until we see otherwise...

  No doubt...
• 2018 Minnesota Wild Draft Discussion ....... July 16, 2018
  Almost sounds like when I gave up mine. At least they had someone notable call you. I got some sales rep that sounded like she was 18. Same thing: "You really want to give up your tickets? Why? Because we have lots of cool stuff planned for STH's! And we have cool giveaways too!" I […]
• Wild's Ownership Are they really "Committed to Winning it All" July 16, 2018
  Too funny! ☺️ It would be equally interesting to see how "the 3 stooges" would react to Lemaire's decisions. My guess is.....a 13 year contract out trumps even 10 Stanley Cup rings. (Such is the world we live in today)
• Ryan Suter Rehab Update... July 16, 2018
  While frustrated with Suter's off ice antics and power trip personna, I have to disagree with the point that Suter wasn't missed in the playoffs. Maybe not on the PP, but after the Jets series, I came to the conclusion that Brodin does not have top D pairing ability. I would argue Suter does....although IMO, […]
• 2018 Wild Development Camp July 16, 2018
  I thought both invited goalies Shepard and Robson did well too. McBain stood out imo with his speed, determination and his puck handing skills. Defensively on the blue line no one really stood out as an offensive defenseman in this group.
