The Wild were an expansion team. They were never the North Stars.


Wild do got that North Stars RR jersey so honorary stars

Plus the eye is a star wink on that beast

OOff not the best play by Harley and Miller.

Im honestly shocked Harman was still playing that guy looked like he was out in the first OT

Gustavsson and Ottinger are solid young goalies

Gus 52 save debut not bad

Calder Cup bracket.

My taxes were easier to fill out.





So, anywhere between 5 to 7 teams can make the play-ins in each division? Why the hell does each division have their own set of play-in rules

Kotkaniemi embellished so they called it. Embellishment/diving should be a 5 min major or 1 game suspension

Since when should embellishment be a suspension? That’s like a fine maximum, it’d also be a joke for embellishment to be the same amount of games suspended as some dangerous hits

Recap of day one:

Carolina won a game where the islanders has no business being in
Boston beat Florida as expected
Wild won a double ot thriller (but remember the last two times they won game 1 it didn’t end well)
Edmonton blows back to back two goal leads and LA wins in OT

All these Stars fans play pretending Dumba did an illegal hit or tried to injure Pavs are driving me nuts. It's quite ripe for these folks to carry on (or is it Kar-y-en?) about a hit that was not late or to the head when they have Jamie flippin Benn on their team and Gary Suter is out there machete-ing Kaprizov all night without a single call. And then the ones who not subtlely pepper their performative pearl clutching with words like "thug" and "monkey" need to **** straight off. What a bunch of maroons.

From what I've seen the hit was clean ( shoulder to shoulder ) but had an unfortunate result, Stars fans have the right to complain about how they might've lost Pavelski long-term but the hit itself is clean

I believe iirc it has to do with league wide travel expenses during the regular season.

The regular season does not see every team play the same amount of games, so the groupings are odd due to this, and the resulting wonky bracket is due to that.
