WILD HOCKEY!

I was at the game tonight. The X was rocking at the end there. Can't think of any other team that would have fans like that when they are that low in the standings this late in the year. Maybe Winnipeg. It was a fun game at the end.

Here we go again. Just when it looks like the Wild could be helping themselves with a nice draft pick, we decide to pick it up with 7 games to go. mad

We still have the 4th pick, but are 1 point away from having the 7th pick. crazy

Really Wild? REALLY! Come on now you just passed up 3 teams with that shootout win and you are on a 3 game winning streak, time to get back to playing AHL hockey. Or at least NHL hockey that isn't good enough. 3 games to go, lets suck it up and slide up a few spots in the draft.

Even though these last few games have been bad for the draft, they have been some great hockey games. First time in a long time i'm actually interested in watching the whole games. They have been really entertaining.

Just read on another site we should win most of the draft tiebrakers with teams because we have a lot of wins in OT or shootouts. So if we tie pts with a bunch of teams we should be ahead of them in the draft, I guess that is something to hope for.

Right on Bear, we sure had some spirited scraps the other night. Will those spill over into our next game with Chicago ? Speaking of Chi-town, you tube with good speakers, Jim Cornelison is by far the best national anthem singer I've ever heard, go check him out but good speakers do it mega justice if you can hear him over the roar of the fans.

OK, we are at 79pts and play the #6W Blackhawks tonight and the #7W Coyotes on Saturday.

The two teams just below us are Toronto and Anaheim. Both have 78pts.

ANA plays at #14W Edmonton and at #11W Calgary. Hopefully they win a game.

TOR plays at #11 Tampa and at #15E

If we lose both games and both ANA and TOR win at least one game, we will take the 5th spot. NYI would have to win out and we would have to lose out to make the 4th. It's a good thing we went on a winning streak mad

And the foot shooting continues:

Both TOR and ANA won, but we decided to score with under three minutes left and then win in OT. So, we are back in the same postition. We need to lose, TOR and ANA need to win and we'll be in the 5th draft position.

Right now, depending on who wins and loses, we could end up in the 5th spot or the 9th spot.

I would rather see this team come together like they have the last few and show that the beginning of the season wasn't a fluke and that they are not that bad!! Maybe this little streak opens up a few free agents eyes!! Gots lot of young talent coming!!

You are right Bran, as much as I wanted them to pick higher it's not a bad thing the team kind of put things togethter at the end of the year.

We shold still get a very good player at 7, small odds we move up in the lotto but anything can happen.

We have a 4.7% chance to move up in the draft if we win the lotto, an 85.4% chance to pick #7 and 9.9% chance to pick #8. If we win the lotto we can only move up 4 positions so that would have us picking 3.

Eric Christianson scoring with 3 minutes to go against Chicago cost us 3 draft positions and gained us absolutely nothing.

Yep it sucks to think about but they also won a pile of games in the behinning of the year they had no business winning. We just have to work with what we have, I have faith in our management to get us a quality player and a little luck never hurts when it comes to drafting guys.

CF has done a much, much better job drafting, this is true. I would have like to have that high end guy though. It seems like the odds of a guy making it drop off very quickly as the draft goes on.

Saw that too, St. Johns might be the best team in the history of the CHL and they are only playing a first round opponent so I don't want to get too crazy excited but it is eye popping to see those kinds of numbers. It should be fun to see what they can doing the rest of the playoffs and of course next year in the AHL/NHL.

    • 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.
