Expand Yeah, it started in 2011 when they traded Brent Burns for Coyle and Setoguchi. The Nick Leddy for Cam Barker in 2010 was a real stinker too. So after this season, they still have FIVE full seasons of the Parise (35) and Sutter(34) contracts. Ouch! Quote
Shawn-O Posted November 15, 2019 Posted November 15, 2019 I have to believe Guerin will pull the trigger on Boudreau soon. Quote

Expand Will that clear out $20 million in cap space for a retrofit? The only "out" of this for the Wild is a buy-out or two or three, or ... They need to be calling the cap space teams and doing a trade, for example: Suter, a 2021 second round pick, and Wild retain half of Suter's salary for a used puck bag and a coach's whistle missing the pea*. *If you want the whistle with the pea that's a 2021 first round pick (instead of the second round pick). 2 Quote

Siouxperfan7 Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 Babcock last 3 seasons plus this year: - Lost 1st round of playoffs - Lost 1st round of playoffs - Lost 1st round of playoffs - 9-10-4 record...….FIRED Boudreau last 3 seasons plus this year - Missed playoffs - Lost 1st round of playoffs - Lost 1st round of playoffs - 8-11-2 record...…??????

HockeyFan31 Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 Barring a minor miracle I think we can fill in Bruce's fate as fired as well. Not his fault, but GMs like to bring in "their coach". Quote
Oxbow6 Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 The issue isn't the coach it's the roster. Name one player that would crack the top 6 in the Caps line-up. Quote

(Hint: One is still in TOR today.) MIN fans are due ... but a coach can't fix that roster. Quote
Popular Post Siouxperfan7 Posted November 21, 2019 Popular Post Posted November 21, 2019 As long as Parise and Suter are still on roster sucking up cap money, this will be the status quo for the Wild no matter who the coach is. 5 Quote
sioux rube Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 After the Devils tied the game on two occasions, Ryan Suter (1-1—2) registered the go-ahead goal in the third period and 23-year-old Kaapo Kahkonen (32 saves) earned his first NHL win to help the Wild extend their point streak to seven games (4-0-3). * Kahkonen appeared in his first NHL game after posting a 7-2-1 record with the American Hockey League’s Iowa Wild this season (2.47 GAA, .909 SV%, 2 SO). Matt Hackett (34 saves on Dec. 6, 2011) is the only other goaltender in franchise history to win in his NHL debut after making 30 or more saves. * The 2019-20 season marked the second time in as many campaigns that Minnesota has strung together a point streak of at least seven games, after producing a 6-0-2 run from Feb. 21 – March 7, 2019. The longest such stretch in franchise history is 13 contests (12-0-1 from Dec. 2-29, 2016). Quote

Expand Suter needed to do something after he totally lost his guy in OT and let the Rangers forward walk in on Stalock for the game winner a couple nights ago. Looked like he was on the pleasure rink having a nice leisurely time. 1 1 Quote

sioux rube Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 Wild are now 7-0-2 in their last 9 after beating Tampa Bay last night 5-4. They will come back to earth eventually but in the meantime I’m enjoying some pretty damn good hockey Quote

Oxbow6 Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 Wild give up a shorty and another with 6 seconds left in the first. Bruce looks like he's going to stroke out. Quote

This team has a long way to go be a Cup contending team...right now they are a fringe wild card team at best. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 This team gets outshot most games. They struggle to score consistently. Their goaltending is bipolar at best. Other than that they're pretty good. Quote
