Heatley should have plenty of gas left in the tank. I really think we bought him low and a big trade like this just might light a fire under his arse. It's hard not to see him scoring 30 goals and 40 is well within his range. He is going to get big time minutes and PP time with us. Seto is in the same boat, big time minutes and PP time so they will both have a chance to prove themselves after a slow year where they combined for 48 goals.

Only 21 shots on goal. What's with them always getting out shot by big numbers. I know they still usually get out shot even when they win, but c'mon you can't be getting out shot every game. Even with new coaches they still do it. Even though we are through 1 preseason game and im alreading judging confused

There were a lot of young players playing that will probably not make the team anyway. I listened on the radio and it seemed that they dominated the game if you take away the 2nd period.

The Wild are 2-0 preseason for the first time in 5 years! wink Next game might actually give some insight on what this team is going to look like. Sounds like both the Wild and CBJ are dressing most of their real guys, including full first lines.

I wish they'd air some of these preseason games. At least the home ones or the ones that actually dress NHL players.

When you are at a day game watching the pathetic Twins, and you can't drink a single beer without breaking into a case of the unending shivers, it's time to move on to hockey season. Gimme Wild and gimme Bulldogs!!! 14 days to opener at Amsoil.

I'll try the KFAN route also, good tip

Sounds like the NHL is getting tougher on illegal hits. Staubitz is probably going to get suspended for his hit from behind and CBJs Wisniewski is too for his hit to Clutterbuck's head.

Hopefully Shanahan has a bigger pair than Campbell did when it comes to suspensions.

Good to hear Heatley got out and did something his first game out there with teh tea.

Thanks for posting it, this is the first hockey I've watched since the cup...it's been too long.

The parts that I saw, the Wild had a tough time in their own zone. Zidlicky especially with his turnover behind Backstrom that led to the game winning goal.

I was at the game, wow talk about an empty rink. 8000 fans id say.

The wild have a lot of work to do, especially moving the puck out of the d zone. Backstrom needs to get a lot better too. The new first line is gonna be a top line in the nhl. I was very surprised at how much defense heatley plays. Almost the opposite of gaborick. Several times he was all the way behind our net helping out. Our second line needs some help. Barely noticed ltd and bouchard still just jumps around out there and misses on his passes. Powerplay is a work in progress but shoujld be good.

Things are looking up, but we have a long ways to go and a short time to get there.

Oh and look for high scoring games if we are gonna win. Id expect to give up 3 goals every game.

Which means heatley needs 40, seti needs 30 and koiuvu is gonna need 25 with 50 assists.

Sounded like his camp wasn't so good this year. That couple with last year's performance, it's not so surprising.

At least this shows the rest of the team that there is some accountability for your performance. I think that's something the Wild has lacked in previous years.

So, who get's moved up to take his place? Bulmer?

Mayb bulmer for awhile, I'm doubting he will be up long. I'm thinking powe is better for the 3rd line and I am hoping we don't kee bulmer up to play on the 4th line. I'm guessing kassian spends more time up now,which makes me wonder if staubitz is next to go. Suely we don't need 2 middle weights out there

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      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.
