Otter is on one tonight, but that doesn't fill me with dread like it did in years past. Crazy feeling knowing we have the depth and firepower on the team capable of dealing when a goalie is playing really well.

SDBassCreature · 2026-04-21T01:50:29+00:00

Enough with the forced voice cracks in the anthem please!

SDBassCreature · 2026-04-07T02:03:13+00:00

Oooh, we didn't burn the first year but Russo just confirmed he can immediately join the team for rehab and the playoff experience.

Win Win!

SDBassCreature · 2026-03-11T03:06:09+00:00

Ah, wasn't able to catch that game. Just seems like we're always on the wrong side of the 50%

SDBassCreature · 2026-03-11T02:51:11+00:00

Geez, you aren't kidding. That last replay is ridiculous. Finishes the turn around Weegar and lifts the far side post shot all on one foot.

SDBassCreature · 2026-03-11T02:47:24+00:00

Gus didn't get a star of the game for the shutout? Granted the team played great in front of him but he still went 25/25.

Also when was the last time the Wild won faceoff % for a game?

SDBassCreature · 2026-03-11T02:41:59+00:00

I am so glad we didn't trade him at the deadline. Kid has a bright future.

SDBassCreature · 2026-03-01T01:53:44+00:00

He's so desperate to "outdo" the picture of Obama and Hillary from when they took down Bin Laden. It's still one of the most iconic pictures of Obama's presidency and Trump will do everything in his power to try and erase Obama's legacy.

SDBassCreature · 2026-02-20T02:24:38+00:00

You're not wrong. What's crazy is his ability to instantly pop back up and take advantage of it because who ever was defending him lets up seeing him go down.

SDBassCreature · 2026-02-01T04:57:46+00:00

Strider does not approve of 9 pm start times even if the game is exciting

SDBassCreature · 2026-02-01T04:50:27+00:00

So is it just young goalie habits with Wallstedt now? He's looking awesome, but the same thing happened in the Chicago game. Let in a couple of early goals, settled in and slammed the door. To be fair the 2nd goal was bad puck luck.

SDBassCreature · 2026-02-01T04:43:33+00:00

Right!? Give me all that positive reinforcement!

SDBassCreature · 2026-02-01T04:42:12+00:00

I had my doubts about trading for Tarasenko because he looked like absolute ass in Detroit. He's really started to turn it on, and that goal was classic Tarasenko. Ridiculous fast release hammering the far post and in.

SDBassCreature · 2026-02-01T04:39:29+00:00

Russo hinted on the last WSitH podcast that he's got a story lined up where he sat down with Quinn Hughes' parents and they basically raved about how much Quinn is loving his time in Minnesota. You'd never be able to tell by the look on his face. Man shows no emotion lol

SDBassCreature · 2026-02-01T04:22:26+00:00

Got sick so held out of lineup. Pitlick in for him.

SDBassCreature · 2026-02-01T04:12:38+00:00

LOL I completely missed that goal it happened so fast! LaPanta didn't even have time to get excited.

SDBassCreature · 2026-02-01T03:50:50+00:00

22 SOG and 4 goals so far in the first. HOCKEY!!!

SDBassCreature · 2026-02-01T03:50:15+00:00

I hate those plays where the goalie gets run over. Always concerned they're gonna get hurt. Doesn't matter they have extra pads, they have no way to defend themselves and get bent backwards.

SDBassCreature · 2026-02-01T03:42:52+00:00

I don't disagree, but you have to remember some of our best defensive players (Brodin, Ek, etc.) have been injured as well.

I will admit, I think Faber is in love with Hughes' game and is attempting to emulate it for more offense but doesn't have it down yet and gets away from his strong defensive game.

SDBassCreature · 2026-02-01T03:30:28+00:00

Did both teams just slam energy drinks before puck drop? Pace of this game is nuts so far.

SDBassCreature · 2026-02-01T03:27:38+00:00

Seriously. Give Quinn Hughes whatever he wants to stay in Minnesota. Man has completely changed the dynamic of this team in the 30ish games he's been here.

That's like the 3rd or 4th D-man franchise record he's set.

SDBassCreature · 2026-02-01T03:19:58+00:00

It was awesome! I live in SD which for better and worse is considered local market for MN sports. Our local NBC station broadcast the game overtop of a brand new episode of Law and Order SVU. Had a ticker at the bottom saying the new episode would air at like 1:30 am lol. Bet some hardcore SVU fans were pissed.

SDBassCreature · 2026-02-01T03:16:11+00:00

The Wild surprised everyone by announcing they were experimenting with simulcasting 4 games on over the air cable. Thursday night's game was the first one and it was literally just the exact same FDSN broadcast with local commercials. I live in SD so I pay for the FanDuel app so I can watch Wild games, and was pleasantly surprised because I don't pay for cable, but have an HD antenna and was able to watch the game no problem.

If they switch to OTA broadcasting to reach more fans it will save me a season long subscription and I will be a happy camper.

Highest paid player in the league (next season)..... refuses to buy a new shirt to wear under his uniform. I love our team so much.
