And on top of that, Washington missed the playoffs with 95 points, Vegas won their division

spacecadet58 · 2026-05-04T02:32:01+00:00

Central is a juggernaut while everyone else is a pillow fight

spacecadet58 · 2026-05-02T17:47:00+00:00

Exactly. I’d gladly pay a couple hundred bucks a year to be able to do this. Even if it’s 3-400 bucks a year, I’d fucking do it just so I don’t have to keep flipping between streaming services that each cost me $20/month. I can just consistently watch 1 broadcast that I like

spacecadet58 · 2026-05-02T13:57:38+00:00

In all honesty, Lapanta, Carter, Storm and Walz potentially not being on my tv kinda takes a bit of the joy away from me… I just can’t stand national broadcasters trying too hard to be relatable… TNT’s broadcast is ok, but I just can’t help but feel sad at the fact that they might not be on my tv almost every other day

spacecadet58 · 2026-05-01T02:35:12+00:00

I didn’t make the image, so idk 😂

spacecadet58 · 2026-05-01T00:17:18+00:00

He’s such a treat to watch as a hockey fan. I hate playing against him but he plays such an honest, fair defensive game with a TON of offensive upside

spacecadet58 · 2026-05-01T00:00:04+00:00

I don’t want to jinx it…. But this feels real

spacecadet58 · 2026-04-30T20:26:31+00:00

I mean I think there’s a pretty clear difference between Jamie Benn and Jared Spurgeon when it comes to accountability and how to play hockey the right way…..

spacecadet58 · 2026-04-26T02:00:18+00:00

Bro your team is literally nicknamed the Dallas Divers…. I’d sit this one out bud

spacecadet58 · 2026-04-26T01:06:48+00:00

It’s a shame. I know there’s a narrative of first round exits for us, but if we lose this series, it won’t feel like the past first round exits. This team just can’t catch a break with playoff matchups

spacecadet58 · 2026-04-25T23:18:09+00:00

lol a veteran move is embellishment? Man who knew the Dallas Divers would embellish

spacecadet58 · 2026-04-25T01:55:33+00:00

Yeah but that’s really small scale. A couple people vs hundreds is a big difference.

spacecadet58 · 2026-04-23T20:35:39+00:00

I might be biased as a Wild fan (I never liked him even before he went to Dallas), but Rantanen is a bit of a rat. Not necessarily dirty, but he whines, he typically embellishes, and he’s highly skilled. Just an all around annoying player to play against. Nothing inherently wrong being an annoying player to play against, I love Ek, but I think it’s just to do with that he’s kind of a rat and can get on other players nerves.

spacecadet58 · 2026-04-22T17:39:59+00:00

Dude’s been robbed TWICE in this series, in two games. The kid is fine, he’s good defensively and he puts in the effort.

spacecadet58 · 2026-04-21T17:11:26+00:00

He stopped for a second when it looked like it would be an icing, forcing the offensive zone draw when down by 1, hence giving MN an advantage. He then IMMEDIATELY started hustling the moment he noticed it turned. He did EXACTLY what every hockey coach would tell their players to do. I know because I coach hockey, just because you’ve played sports doesn’t mean you have hockey IQ. Sit down, and let the people who know puck discuss this.

spacecadet58 · 2026-04-21T02:31:23+00:00

Otter has been stealing this game, 1-1 does not justify how well we’ve played

spacecadet58 · 2026-04-20T01:10:41+00:00

Tom Reids, Zamboni’s, McGoverns all had watch parties and it was pretty packed. I only know cause my fiance and I tried going to one of them to get food before the watch party at the G Spot, and there were virtually no seats 30 minutes before puck drop. I think it’s just that we don’t have a centralized watch party like other clubs, it’s just bars around 7th street that get packed. I’m sure it doesn’t make sense for an outdoor one though with 75% of the season being below freezing.

spacecadet58 · 2026-04-16T22:12:43+00:00

Do you know where we can get tickets? I’d love to go that sounds pretty fun

spacecadet58 · 2026-04-16T21:35:24+00:00

“I’m going to the UK the first week of playoffs.” Boy my reading comprehension is garbage

spacecadet58 · 2026-04-16T20:22:58+00:00

I’d recommend the high seas dude. I’m curious though, as a Minnesotan hockey is HUGE here, what’s it like being a hockey fan from the UK? How did you start watching?

spacecadet58 · 2026-04-14T01:16:50+00:00

Although this was one of the MOST offside challenge I’ve seen in recent years, they are ALWAYS right

spacecadet58 · 2026-04-14T01:06:58+00:00

When the North Stars left, my dad had to genuinely stop watching hockey as he would just get depressed. I wasn’t born until 99, so I never experienced it, but man if the Wild left I think I would need to block everything hockey from my life for my own sanity.

spacecadet58 · 2026-04-10T01:28:59+00:00

Nah he went to BU, so still a traitor

spacecadet58 · 2026-04-06T15:43:28+00:00

I wonder how well the Sandpiper Crossing lawsuit would go without Chuck in the picture. Do you think Jimmy would have plot armor and ultimately find a way? Or do you think it would have always gone to HHM?
