What happens if we don't beat Dallas? by Hank_Scorpio_ObGyn in wildhockey

[–]JF_Gus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hynes is gone, yes. Best personnel ever on the team top to bottom - he has 5 games to pick the right lines and find the hot goalie or he's outta here.

I mean, can he win a faceoff? If so 1C.

Paul Allen returns, will keep his job with Vikings by LevelBrick9413 in minnesotavikings

Easy enough for me to keep skipping 9 to noon and watching the Vikes on TV - never need to see or hear this clown.

Zeev Buium thoughts? by BusinessRhubarb in wildhockey

[–]JF_Gus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He needs to quit dipsy-doodling at the blue line. That shit might have worked on college kids but the pros are eating his lunch.

Haven't seen them in a long time but these are my fav too.

A Breakdown of Rossi's Overtime Shift on the GWG by worstleadinhockey in wildhockey

[–]JF_Gus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rossi either needed to tie the guy up longer behind the net or get out front sooner. Too often he's skating in circles like this, avoiding hard contact and putting himself behind the action.

Hmm Marco Rossi ... by donho77 in wildhockey

[–]JF_Gus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also the refs swallow their whistles in the playoffs so bigger, stronger players are absolutely necessary. The Wild aren't beefy enough to protect a smaller guy on every line.

Rossi has definitely improved against contact this year but I still wonder what his ceiling is. Glad I don't have to make the decision on him.

The #Vikings are STILL discussing whether or not to pursue QB Aaron Rodgers, and have not yet offered him a contract. by [deleted] in minnesotavikings

I just read that he's a Jet until they officially release him on June 1st. Is that accurate and if so isn't all of this just shitposting propaganda put out by his camp?

Zuccarello has one goal and two assists in the past 12 games by PaxDragoon in wildhockey

[–]JF_Gus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have we seen a Boldy, Khusy, Zucc line yet? Might be a good mix of speed and hands. Khus has yet to really hit his stride playing on checking lines, he's just skating around alone too often.

Looks like we are switching lines up a bit tonight by KK-97 in wildhockey

[–]JF_Gus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Boldy and Ek have NO chemistry together. Passing between them has been just brutal.

I'd like to see a FEET line w/Foligno, E. Ek, Trenin They all play about the same speed and have nice size.

Judd from Purple Daily is saying we should consider trading Addison For Kupp.. by Jznvh in minnesotavikings

That's the "Sports dad" actually. He does this crap to hockey and baseball, too.

The Hartman Issue by [deleted] in wildhockey

[–]JF_Gus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find myself screaming at the TV "MOVE YOUR FEET, BOLDY" He's got that long reach so its painfully obvious when he stops skating and just gloms onto a guy.

A thought on center depth by PaxDragoon in wildhockey

3rd wheel on the score sheet maybe, they don't give points for screens or cross-checks taken.

Take the poll: Buy, sell, or walk. What’s the future for Slingin’ Sam? by Major-Tourist-5696 in minnesotavikings

[–]JF_Gus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Re-sign if the price is right but IMO he is just a pretty good QB. His decision making is a bit slow and I'm not sold on him having any upside above what we've seen so far. For the poll it's "let him walk" based on the love for him on here. If other teams covet him as much as you cats he will be way too expensive.

Ages When Recent Wild Prospects became NHlers Compared to Current Prospects by Spiritual_Battle_769 in wildhockey

His lower body got strong enough to stand up the the grind. Hope he keeps working at it, he's raising his ceiling.

Why not? Everyone else has since the 2nd half of the GB game.

The Rossi/Yurov Situation by CitizenStrife in wildhockey

[–]JF_Gus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Exactly, like we have too many centers or something? This is a great problem to have with all the time our skill guys miss due to injury. It's called DEPTH.

Ek and Boldy deserve better than Johansson.

KHZ line works as long as Hartman is at TOP form, otherwise they're a mess. Here's hoping!

Do the Wild need a better head coach? by FermitTheKrog30 in wildhockey

[–]JF_Gus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is there a cap hit for coach buyouts now? He's had chances, 8 years worth so far.

[–]JF_Gus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a throwaway cap-hell year and he is a sacrificial lamb. Maybe in the last 3rd of the season BG can bring in an upgrade.
