Anyone else wishing the season was over already?

As the great frenchy canuck Jaque Lemaire would say- "theres no doubt"

Might as well be over, i dont think this current wild bunch could beat the Michigan Tech Huskies much less an NHL team

Here's a shot of the standings right now. We could easily jump NYI and CAR for the 4th overall pick. We would have to go on quite the losing streak and the bottom three would have to nearly win out for us to break into the top 3 pick.

Place Team GP W L OT PTS

21 Buffalo 67 31 28 8 70

22 Tampa Bay 66 31 29 6 68

23 Anaheim 67 29 28 10 68

24 Toronto 67 30 30 7 67

25 Minnesota 67 28 29 10 66

26 NY Islanders 66 28 29 9 65

27 Carolina 67 25 27 15 65

28 Montreal 67 25 32 10 60

29 Edmonton 66 26 34 6 58

30 Columbus 66 21 38 7 49

They had better not go on some winning streak right now. That's the last thing they need. Just keep losing, but make it close and have a few feel good wins in there to keep the team from falling apart. Get that #4 in June. That would be really nice.

Perfect game for the Wild, we lose and Matt Hackettt played very well stopping 24 of 25 shots. Draft can't get here soon enough.

LOL. I was gonna say the same thing. Killed two birds with one stone. Hackett played great and we still lost!

I was pretty happy about the whole thing, though, I wish we could have scored one and lost it in the last half of the third, just to make it exciting (hoping they don't score to tie it up wink ).

We have a realistic shot at the #3 pick. If we keep up this pace, we could be in good shape. The next years could be awesome. I heard we have 5 of the top 40 prospects in the world.

Wild blank Vancouver 2-0. Must have been a great game by Harding, easy now boys there is nothing wrong with an OT or shootout loss if you need a moral victory. Most of the fans realize that dispite our early season run we just didn't have the depth to win this year and this draft could add some key peices to our future.

In typical MN fashion im sure they will start winning again and get to about the 7th pick or so.

Honestly, I would love the number 1 pick, but come on. They cant loose on purpose.

Side note, what do you guys think of Heatley, I honestly am amazed at the effort he is still giving. The guy plays hard in both ends when his job is to score goals, he is gonna get 25 goals on a terrible team. I also heard he is about the hardest working guy in practice. I never would have guessed it, I thought he would be the first guy to give up.

I have been very happy with Heatley, he has done a great job with not much healthy talent around him. I think we were all hoping for 30+ goals but with season we have had its hard to knock what he has done. The whole team needs a fresh start next year, hopefully we can land a big fish or two this off season.

If they lose last night, we are at the #3 pick. I that's about as high as we can realistically draft this year. I'd be cool with losing out from here on.

Just checked. 7 of our last ten games are against playoff teams. grin

Were we really in 1st place this year ? Welcome back Ginger I mean Marian Gaborik to the X in a night or two. John Scott as well. Are we finding it wasn't all on Todd Richards ? We have 0 identity anymore. Well there's always next year. or the the year after that.

hahahaha, I love it.

I hope Kassian is in the line up to welcome him back but then again, I like Scott and was sad he left, I suppose he will be scratched tho. It would have been nice to have scott back on D this year, he would have gotten alot of playing time and would have kept other teams a little more honest when they were running Spurgeon etc..

agreed, but when you have a coach like Yeo, you need to lock him up for a while and give it a chance imo

No way can you blame everythign on Richards, I think we probably pulled the plug on him a little early but from the sounds of things it wasn't going well. We certainly need to give Yeo a couple more years and see what happens.

Sorry guys about the misleading T Richards comment, no I don't want him back I just know the way our state seems to operate when it comes to coaches and we've had some dandy scenarios, yes give Yeo some time to grow, agreed, here you go, Les Steckel, Denny Green, Mike Tice, Sydney Lowe I think lol, Tim Brewster, tubby and kill, etc. we're constantly thinking this magical coach will will us into an instant winner, anyway, no doubt we lack a bunch of hockey talent on the wild roster. I'm just thankful the NHL is here, but being old school I'll always miss the stars and and that hotel where I got tons of opposing teams autographs I think the thunderbird if I remember correctly.

    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
    • 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.
