Lockout

[BartmanMN]

I only heard this reported on KFAN and HAMS. I have not looked around for any hard evidence of a schedule yet. I think it is all speculation at this point.

I heard it on HAMS, and the 5 o'clock news.

agreed on the forwards, there's lots so solid young guys that can come up and fill in like last year.

What do you guys think you Jake Dowell? As far as I know they signed him after last season and he isn't even on the depth chart. He seems to have good NHL experience and very gritty on the 3-4 lines. Konopka is a very similar player, he fights more but Dowell is capable of a 10 goal, 25 pt season from what I can see.

I think if they knew they were getting parise they wouldn't have signed him. He's just taking the spot of a young guy now. Maybe they will trade him for a d man to use until brodin and spurgeon are good to go. That would be a win win.

It looks like we will go undefeated against the Eastern Conference this regular season.....as we don't play any games against them. So intra-conference contests only!

Go Wild~

Startrib is saying Wild vs. Avalanche 8pm on 1/19 at home. Tentatively.

[OnAFly]

Just saw that too. Gotta love Russo!

Sweet. The NHL would have looked like fools if they did not let them play at home.

So much for my championship Pond hockey team. Parise, Taft, Okposo, Byfuglien.

j/k

Glad they swtiched the schedules around for Hockey Day Mn. Agree that would have been a dumb move if they didn't.

That opening roster sure looks better than it has...ever. Still some young guys on the team, but you can really start to get excited thinking about the future, or even this year.

You know I haven't given him much thought at all, but after last year I think the more depth we have the better. Ideally I'd like to see Zucker or Coyle get some time but Dowell seems like he could be a good lower line player.

Hey Bart are you Taft ? William Howard Taft, is it 27th president died in 1930 ? You had no chance with that squad, I summoned Stu Grimson, Mike Peluso, Chris Nilan, and Dave Semenko :)RIP to these NHL greats but the comparable RIP squad would be Derek Boogaard, Rick Rypien, Wade Belak, and definitely John Kordic. Can't wait for the 19th !
