No way would I want Lemaire to go. He is one of the hands down best coaches out there. His system has worked all year and now that we may get swept out of the playoffs its all the sudden his fault? He may be to blame for part of it but the other part is on the players not playing up to their ability.

His style of coaching is to old school. Need to be more offensive minded. Your right the players are not playing great but with the talented offensive players compared to defensive stars we needed to utilize them more. If you understand about styles of play you can easily see this.

The players are profesionals but they lack the experiance that is needed for the playoffs. These guys are not taking the shots when they have the chance. Watch the play tonight, if they are throwing the puck on net instead of looking for the pretty play they will dominate, as soon as they go and try to be pretty, fancy, or whatever you want to call it their passes are intercepted and the Ducks go the other way. Lemaire is going no where.

I guess I am in the minority here but none of these old school style coaches seem to be doing much in this new age of the NHL. I hope that some big names can be brought in over the off season or I don't see much changing next season.

The other thing you have to remember is we have a lot of young guys - Burns, Gabby, Shultz, Koivu, Bouchard- you don't see a lot of other playoff teams with this many young guys that make up the core of the team. Just think if they can keep these guys together for the next 2-5 years how good they will be!! They are getting good playoff experience right now, and Lemaire and Risebrough know how to bring along players and how to pick up good vets for the young guys to learn from - Carney, Walz, Parrish, Johnnson.

I would have to agree. I can't think of another coach out there right now that I'd rather have coaching the Wild either.

Lemaire is a defense oriented coach. Defense first and the offense will come. I love his style and its why they have made the playoffs this year. If you can be dicipline and protect your D-zone you always give youself a chance to win. Yeah, the Wild do have some great offensive players, which means the scoring should take care of itself. Right now in this playof series, their obviously not getting the scoring they need. The Ducks are the team playing better Defense, any wonder on why they are up 3-0 in the series? I'd say Lemaire is doing just fine.

I don't want to see him go, although I'm not crazy about his style. Why is it so hard to realize that dumping the puck in on the PP DOES NOT WORK??!!! It's been driving me crazy all year. When you have the man advantage you should almost never have to dump it in but they continue to do it almost everytime. Last night on one of the PPs they dumped it 4 times during the 2 minutes and they did not get control once. The Ducks know it's coming and beat them to the puck and it's out of the zone. Then later on in the game they finally carry it in and they get a goal. It's so simple yet these NHL coaches and players cannot figure it out.

As far as dumping the puck in on the power play, I'm guessing it's because of the way the Ducks have been standing them up on the blue line on the penalty kill. If I remember correctly the Wild kept getting jammed up at the blue line earlier in the series when they were trying to carry it in. I don't recall them dumping it in as much during the regular season anyway.

You're exactly right,they were trying to carry it in the first couple games of the series; seems to me that it didn't work out all that well. If they'd have kept it up, half of these guys would be b!tch!ng that they need to dump in the corner & go get it. This time of year, it's just like in football, it takes a good "D" to win. You obviously have to score points, but look at this series; the ducks weren't scoring very many goals, but still winning the games because they were playing great defense. I guess the "old school" ways of their coach seems to be working OK.

But if you pay attention, they keep control of it MUCH more when they carry it on and not dump it in. I don't care if they're the #6 PP, they would've been #1 if they would've carried it in.

Again..the first PP tonight. 3-4 dump ins and almost no control in the offensive zone. You know...I really don't care if they dump it in if they're the first to the puck and get control. The thing is they don't do that and when they actually carry it in is when they keep control. PMB is by far the best at doing this...he needs more PP time.

I am not a fan of dumping the puck in either. Yes they are standing us up on the blue line. That is how they beat us. I can only remember 1 or 2 odd man rushes a game, on the PP or not. But on the PP, when you dont have any power forwards how are you going to get the puck back. You think any of our forwards are going to beat pronger to the puck or knock him of it. NO! A cross ice pass to the hash mark seemed to be the only thing that worked at all. Bottom line we dont match up against the Ducks. I think we would have fared well against pretty much any other team.

AS far as Lemiere, not sure. I like high powered offenses and sometimes I feel he neglects ours. Its hard to say he should be thinking more offensively when we just got worked by a defensive team. Oh, and by the way. If we everhit the net we might have a chance at scoring.

      Problems with Yetti

      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.
