about 90% kidding.. and about 90% of wild players aren't worth their salaries. Havlat for $4-$5 mil is a joke, Kobesew for $2.5 mil is a joke, Meitenen for $2.5 mil is a joke, Sheppard shouldn't even have a contract and the entire defence is way over paid. Cullen was probably over paid too.

The Rangers thought he was worth the $1.6 and they will have a much better season than the wild. I think there will be some empty seats this year at the X.

I would be willing to bet every pro team, not just the NHL, has a few guys that are in bad contracts. We are not alone, but I would rather get rid of Backstrom and PMB contracs then the guys you mentioned.

I wasn't impressed with ranges last year and I don't seem them doing too much damage this year but who knows. If Boogaard can score increase his production they could be a playoff team.

Agreed, the PMB and Backs contracts are trouble but no one saw what happened to PMB comming and Backs contact is about avg for a good goalie.

Boogaard will never score 10 goals a season but what he does is just as valuable. Now we have Staubitz who also won't score any goals and spends 100+ PIM in the box and will get owned all season. At least Boogaard put the fear of god into the other team.

0-6 this preseason and they beat some Euro team yesterday that I can't even pronounce. Buckle your seatbelts, it is going to be a long boring ride back to mediocre hockey.

I wonder if Cluterbuck is going to get the snot knocked out of him now that we have no enforces. I have heard a few people in the league say theyd be very surprised if he wasnt cheap shotted a few times this year. Players really do hate him.

Boogaard did sell a few tickets and merch, gotta give him that much.

I still say we have seen the best of Backstrom already. I think our previous defensive style may have what helped him, rather than his issues with our current core. He makes some nice saves, but man does he give up some very soft goals.

Dont get me wrong he is a strong goalie, I just dont know if he is that much more of a game changer than Theo or the other guy. Id rather take that $6.5 and pick up another 30-40 goals.

Clutterbuck will have a traget on his head but he'll just run like he always does. We'll see the NW teams take alot of runs at our key players. Stortini is going to have a field day.

There is still a place in today's NHL for a goon. There is also a place for a strong defensive team. The wild were both of those and in the playoff hunt every year. Now look at what we have, we may be the worst team in the NHL with the worst Coach.

Don't quite give up yet guys. I know the Wild played terrible in the preseason. I went to the last home game against Columbus and the guys looked lost. Then we go to Finland and beat a Finnish team that's the equivalent of an AHL team.

But, gotta give the guys a shot in the regular season when there is something to play for. I too am doubtful of this team and I personally think that it will be a bad year but I am also going to hold back judgement until we are 20+ games into the season.

If we start like we did last year though then there is no excuse for Richards like he got last year only because he was new. Ticket sales were very poor in the pre season and I think that was a window for what is in the future for this team if they struggle.

And please Wild management - QUIT CALLING US THE BEST FANS IN THE WORLD! You insult our intelligence every time you say that.

Didn't see the goal, but it probably went off his stick when he wasn't looking. He took a lot of stupid penalties at bad times last year and I lost a little faith in Boogey.

Did anyone see the video of Boogaard hitting Chris Neil in the nuts the other night? Another classy move.

Just watched it, That was week. I guess you dont see it much in the NHL anymore. But that is a pretty common jab to the seeds. Usually done lightly and just enough to tick someone off.

Stupid if you typically get 5 minutes for it though.

I talked to Boogaard for awhile last year, definitely not a real pleasant dude not that he needs to be, but what he said about the Americans last year in the Olympics ended my being a fan of his. John Scott on the other hand was very personable and razed my son a bit and was a super cool guy, Da Boogeyman, although he may have been drunk, was basically rude to us and we were wearing his jerseys so good riddance, but he can go protect Gilligan the skipper ginger and Mariann.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
