maros91 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Mattias Ohlund has a cheap shot coming his way next time we play Vancouver. Two hand slash to the back of Mikko's leg. Calling Mr. Boogaard....Ohlund is to big of a wussy to fight anyone let alone Boogie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobb-o Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I do have to say after watching last night's game, that Voros kid looks like he is gonna be very good in the future, he pays with a lot of heart and wow can he skate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-Ball Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Yep- he is fun to watch and high-energy out there. A couple of the vets on this team could take a page from his book and apply it to their game...IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maros91 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Voros looks excellent out there. Hard hiting and looks half way decent when he has the puck, plus he is not afraid to drop the gloves when need be. When Demitra comes back I hope Voros stays. I guess the odd man out for defenseman when Sean Hill arrives is Keith Carney. Carney was great last year but has looked sluggish this year. I think the odd man out should be Kim Johnnson. He is absolutely terrible. Can't check, can't pass, can't skate, can't shoot, can't tie anyone up in front of the net. Not to bad for about a 5 million dollar a season player. Trade Johnnson for a roll of hockey tape!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8-Ball Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 BT- I agree 100%- Johnsson is awful. I don't recall him being that big-time when he was in Philly to start with, and I still don't understand who he has got in his hip pocket here that thought he deserved 19$ million. He does nothing above average. Most things below. Problem is, the rest of the league knows this as well, so we can't dump him off on someone because they know his M.O. Terrible decison/signing by the Wild front office, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maros91 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Wild win 4-1 last night. Anyone see how the Avalanche scored....Johnsson turned the puck over in his own zone and failed to recover. He stinks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maros91 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Wild looked terrible again. To many injuries. Looks like the Wild took the game off. I see we picked up Todd Fedoruk and might try to trade Branko or just let him go. We really didn't need another goon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-Ball Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 It's not just injuries-they are in total disarray right now. No physical play in our zone, no forecheck/backchecking, passing up clear shots for silly highlight-type reel moves that end up being nothing (see Gophers), sub-par goaltending, etc. Very puzzling. I don't get it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knoppers Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 from what I have seen, they try to get the perfect shots, and pass too much. they need to start shooting the puck at the net, you never know, with screens and rebounds. 2 goals tonight so far for the young line, it is looking better.

walleyes12 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I agree, they gotta start shooting the puck!! They got guyst that got awesome shots, and you never know, there could be a tip in, rebound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnwild Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 So is anybody else thinking like I am the Walz is done for the season. You still havent heard about what is going on with this guy for weeks now. I think with these call-ups that he is done and will never step on the ice again wearing a Wild uniform.

walleyes12 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I think he is done. I haven't heard any new news. I think the call-ups have done an excellent job, I hope some of them stay up the entire season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhjr Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I would have to agree as well that he is done. Hopefully whatever he's dealing with ends up working out for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleyes12 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Can't wait to see the demitra, gabby line again tonight! The teams seems to have a spark with them two in the line up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knoppers Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 demitra played, and now the team is 8-0-1 in games he has played this year. I hope he stays heathy the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maros91 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Boy, I tell you what, I am sure glad Radivojavic is a free agent after the year. Why put him on the top line with Gabby and Demitra. All Branko does is dump the puck in and those 2 are not that kind of players. Branko isn't strong enough in the corners anyway. I also seen Branko on the power play. C'mon, give this guy his walking papers. With all that said they got 2 points last night. Rolston looked good finally. Bouchard, his passes always seemed to get tipped a little bit and go just out of reach. Seems like he copuld get 2 points a night if some of his passes go through. Vancouver comes in on Sun. Take out the Sedin boys and Ohlund!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhjr Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Here's the update on Walz from the Star TribuneWes Walz to announce retirement Saturday morningFriday, November 30th, 2007 by Michael Russo The Wild has called a 10:30 news conference for this morning at Xcel Energy Center where 37-year-old center Wes Walz, the Wild’s all-time leader with 438 games played, will announce his retirement from the NHL, two NHL sources confirmed Friday night.Walz, one of two last Original Wild players along with Marian Gaborik, has been on indefinite leave from the team since Nov. 1. Walz’s 82 goals and 182 points rank second in franchise history behind Gaborik.A tremendous-skating checker, Walz has been a heart-and-soul leader, one who has been a positive influence on up-and-comers like Mikko Koivu and Brent Burns.In 2002-03, Walz was a Selke Trophy (NHL’s best defensive forward) finalist, and that was before a marvelous playoff in which he scored seven goals and shut down stars like Peter Forsberg.Walz, a former Boston Bruins’ pick, was a junior star for Lethbridge of the Western Hockey League (83 points and 244 points). He spent the next several years shuffling back and forth between the NHL and minors before spending four years in Switzerland. But in 2000, General Manager Doug Risebrough called with an offer from the expansion Wild, where he’s spent seven years.“I thought for sure I was riding off into the sunset 10 years ago,” Walz said in January 2006. “But I always felt I had more to give over here. I’m just so glad I was given an opportunity to satisfy my dreams of playing in the NHL and maybe even having an impact.”In April 2006, Walz said, “I don’t think I’m going to be one of those guys who’s going to hang on and they’re going to cut my skates off. I enjoy coming to the rink. I love competing. But there’s more to life than hockey.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleyes12 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 The wild finally got 3 solid lines, with a few key guys on that are still injured. I am really impressed with the rookie line, they play there A$$ off and look good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnwild Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I like the Voros line they put out there, these kids are going to get better as the season continues. Another person that I am begining to like alot is Veilleux, they put him out there against the other teams #1 line and he is a scrapper also, I like players like him.

maros91 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I have never seen a more pathetic looking team the past 2 games. Talk about going through the motions. Through 2 periods against the Red Wings I think they have 10 SOG. There PP is terrible. There PK is terrible. There 5 on 5 is terrible. Their goaltending is terrible, who gives up a goal from outside the blueline. I would gut the roster and start over and get a offensive minded coach also. Jacque is a great coach but it is time to move on IMO. As I write this I can here the goal horn going off in the living room and Zetterberg is celebrating the HAT TRICK. Unreal. Get rid of Belanger Boogaard Demitra Fedoruk Gaborik Moore Parrish Branko Rolston Carney Foster Johnnson Nummelin Schultz Skoula harding Backstrom KEEP Sheppard Bouchard Voros Burns Koivu Foy Vellieux Hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
