Announcers that call the shot counter a shot "clock." This isn't basketball and last I checked it is not a unit of time.

It's because he is a warrior!

Yet we have a large amount of Jr's that did practically nothing...

I think that's a pretty fair assessment, Yzerman. I definitely agree with the 05-05 and 10-11 teams. I would bump the 11-12 team into the overachieve category. Also, if one of the overachieve years had been a natty, nobody would be complaining. That's what Blais was able to do. He had a couple teams that by all rights should've won it all but didn't. He was simply able to get his overachievers to the top....with a little help, of course (Michigan choked in '97).
-
Well, in order to judge whether a team has over or under-achieved we would need to know the standard they were held to prior to the season. Can we accurately judge that? Or, is any team that didn't win a natty considered an underachiever? The only way to really evaluate something like this would be to compare preseason media and coaches polls to how the team finished that particular year. However, we all know how flawed early season polls are, so it is an inaccurate measure at best. Care to take a shot at labeling all of Hak's seasons?
-
I agree to some degree, but there has been a serious lack of scoring chances lately so the emphasis on a lack of finishing is magnified. We just don't seem to have the puck a lot lately!
-
So...Koivu, Harding, and Backstrom are making them unwatchable?
-
I'm curious... who is left over from the Lemaire regime? Chuck Fletcher and Mike Yeo are straight out of the Ray Shero Pittsburgh regime. I'd say there's vastly more of a Pittsburgh influence on the current Wild team than a Lemaire influence.

How's their goaltending been in the playoffs, genius?

...especially considering the concussion history with a certain star player.

The Junior class showed signs the first couple weeks, but have done very little since. We need more than just minutes from these guys, and I am lumping Rocco in this group as well. Seeing Parks get hammered at the blue line with about 6 minutes left in the game pretty much summed up the entire weekend.
-
Still waiting for Rocco to break out...hasn't done much lately. Mitch on the PP is puzzling. Zero tenacity last night, and all we seemed to do was kick pucks along the boards and then lose a battle. Tough to watch.

Need to ...dare I say... Dump it in?

I have no opinion one way or the other, but empty seats are a lot easier to spot when the people in the arena are seated. -
Man, I hope so!

But it's THIS year, Goon! SWEEP!

Is there another way to split?

They already admitted failure by bringing in Josh Freeman.

So, how much additional expense did they incur giving free rides to all the people that weren't paying to park in the ramp, thus contributing to the ramp/shuttle service going into the red and consequently forcing a shutdown?
-
You ever tried to take a leak at the Metrodome?!? Parking is the least of their problems!
-
I like how you killed your argument in the same paragraph. People would simply choose to shop where they don't have to pay for parking if it was overall beneficial to them. Try finding another UND hockey game to go to where you don't have to pay for parking and walk into the arena in the cold...
-
I am just referring to paying $20 to park in the ramp with the shuttle service as it was. I'm curious what some would be willing to pay because clearly they're not charging enough (assuming the demand is there) if they can't make it work financially. How high would you be willing to go to have covered parking and a ride to the front door every game?
-
If the break-even point was $20/night to have a shuttle bus (assuming no drop-off in users), would you pay it?
