Go to write this one off as a fluke, I think they had 6 goals on 12 shots or something crazy like that. Of course we are awsome at making goalies look like studs too. Ugly night, lets just win tomorrow and then get swept by Chicago so we can say we made the playoffs.

Unreal, the Av's had 6 goals on their first 10 shots! lol. The Wild would just pressure and pressure and pressure then the Oilers would come down and take one shot and score.

We just don't know how to put the puck in the net. Seems like the nights we dominate puck control and shots on goal are the games we struggle to score 1 goal. Every goalie that plays the Wild turns into a "hot goalie."

The season is pointless! What was the pominville signing for? Why was parise and suter signed? If babying players is acceptable than why was richards let go? Can't wait till next season when we make a real push to clinch 9th....AGAIN!

I was at the game last night. Talk about pathetic. It was like they were all drunk. They couldn't stay on their feet. There was always someone falling to the ice with no one around them.

Overall the puck handling/passing was terrible. Too many things to list that the Wild did wrong in last nights game.

They had 39 shots on goal and only one went in.

Normal game 3-4 of these might go in.

With that many shots, clearly the effort was there to try and get a win.

The goals came way too easy.

This was no normal game, hopefully they can forget this one and re-group for the Av's tonight.

Maybe their "saving grace" is to not have 19,900 fans screaming "love you" when they win, and "fire you or trade you" when they loose.

Their fate is in their own hands, we will see how they respond tonight.

GO WILD!!!! laugh

+1

I watched most of it on tv and was thinking they forgot to tie their skates.

So we are IN against the mighty blackhawks, I don't think anyone expects us to win so no big deal when they own us. However a tiny part of me thinks we have smidge of a chance. Backs + Harding in some form of relief would have to stand on their heads and several unknowns + the 2nd line would have to go on a hot streak. The 2nd did look much improved tonight, if they get hot it could be fun.

Ya never know in the playoffs, but the Hawks are just so good. Seems like every time we play them the puck is in our own zone 80% of the time. But that's why they play the game. I know i'll be spending every minute of every game in front of the tv cheering them on!

Go Wild!!

They couldn't get themselves ready to play the Oilers with the playoffs on the line...I don't know how they can get ready to play Chicago. Play the young guys a lot, give them a taste of playoff hockey.

Squeaking in to the 8 seed is well below the talent level of this team. Everything else fell into place for them...all they had to do was beat a not-very-good Oiler team, and they would be the #6 seed playing Vancouver. But again, if you can't get yourself up to play a bad Oiler team with the playoffs on the line, I don't know how you can expect to handle playoff-intensity hockey.

They are going to be owned by the Blackhawks. I hope the Wild win a game...just avoid the sweep, please...

I enjoy being the underdog. No pressure, if you lose, oh well you were suppose to. If you win you build confidence and the other teams may have some doubt. Playoff hockey is about solid goaltending, bounces that go your way, and extra effort. I hope Chicago was in coast mode. Those that have played or coached hockey know that you can't just turn it off and turn it back on when you want. Go Wild!!

I thought is was so apropos when during the Post Game interview they asked Yeo what his emotions were the last 10 min of the game and he said "Pure Panick"....then corrected himself; but I think his initial reaction was closer to the truth. Hopefully making the playoffs and moving to the next level will give him more confidence as a coach and give him the experience he needs to be successful at this level....at this point he seems like he is in way over his head and thankfully he has the players to carry the team as he has no idea how to "coach" a team to success IMO. Brunette is waiting for Fletch to make the change.......soon.

You think Brunette would be better than Yeo? Brunette needs to be an assistant for a few years like Sydor if he wants to coach imo. Remember that Yeo helped win Pit a cup and he won a Championship with Houston. Don't give up the the guy yet, we all have bumps in the road.

So a recently retired Brunette with zero coaching experience would be better that Yeo who has been coaching for 13 years, was a long time NHL assistant and won a cup with the Pens. Not to mention taking the Aeros on a Calder Cup run with a bunch of nobodies.

Are you being serious or is this a bad joke? eek

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
