Thread: Game 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wabit</b></div><div>Brodin has offense to his game, he's shown it in the past when he wasn't on babysitting duty. He's just been on babysitting duty for most of his career now.</div></div>

I remember him being given a chance to QB the PP when Boudreau first took over as coach and he looked good moving the puck on the blue line. His passing skills are pretty good and he's extremely mobile, he really deserves to be given a chance to show more offense.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OutCold13</b></div><div>So yeah I didn't see the game but I did listen. I am a bit concerned with the Suter/Dumba pairing.
I'm starting to think Brodin has changed up his game some and now has more offense to it, probably not but worth watching.
Wild have never needed a center more. Rask looked good relatively speaking.</div></div>

I joke a lot about him, but Rask isn't completely useless. He's just overpaid for what he brings to the table. If he made $1.5m to center the 4th line, no one would complain.

Thread: Game 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mnwild1790</b></div><div>My thoughts are:

-Damn Kaprizov is good.
-Fiala may not have scored but he sure was effective offensively. I also think the bad ice slowed Fiala down or else he would've had an even bigger impact on the game.
-Talbot was ok. Shaky at parts, but settled in by the 3rd period
-Greenway looked to impose his will physically. Hope to see more of that and see the results pay off!
-All new additions not named Kaprizov were non-existent. I'll give them a pass since this is like preseason for all of them. But they need to mesh, and quickly.
-We NEED to be better in the faceoff circle. That was brutal to watch most critical draws go LA's way.
-And to finish it off: Damn Kaprizov is good.</div></div>

How was Bonino? He at least did well on faceoffs, no one else really seemed to.

Thread: Tweaking The Brilliance of OutCold13
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wabit</b></div><div>I didn't buy nhl.tv a couple years ago so I had to do the swapping around the different locations to get the NHL free game when FSN wasn't being picked up by my cable company for a couple months.</div></div>

Ah, I get what you're saying. I misread your comment, didn't realize the free game changed based on location. I could have sworn I saw the Caps on the free game that was blacked out to me when I lived in the DC area a few years back but I'm probably remembering it wrong.

The Euro VPN trick I mentioned was super handy for nights I just wanted to swap around game to game and not worry about what was airing nationally or in my region. I need to get my subscription renewed for both my VPN and NHL.tv because Wild games are literally the only reason I'd watch a TV subscription nowadays and that's not worth the $70+ a month it looks like it would cost to get access now.

Thread: year down
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>futurehofer</b></div><div>I think Guerin is trying to do with Dumba what Sakic did with Duchesne. There were rumors about Sakic wanting to make a trade around a year before it finally happened. He was patient as hell and waited for a return he was comfortable with. As we saw in the behind the scenes draft videos this year, Guerin has some brass balls and is willing to ride things out without panicking. From what Russo has said, the returns being offered were a lot lower than what was expected this summer. If Guerin can get a decent return that will help the team, I think Dumba is gone. The fact that our top 3 D have NMCs and we have internal replacements working their way up means his days are numbered in Minnesota.</div></div>

I'd guess some GMs are hesitant to take on another asset they'd need to protect as well, so it might be easier to move him after Seattle comes into the league.
