Yeah Thats hockey!!! Real hockey man or women dont even see if he/she broke his leg in game because he just dont want stop play hockey or lose game! Then after game we can hear that he/she must take 6 month pause because he/she must go to surgery. You cant even imagine how much pain he or she felt.

I havent post here so much as i wanted, but i have so much to do in site and servers and in real life at the moment. I will try get my fantasy hockey update ready when wild hit 30 game mark and when Wild hit 40 game mark i try update half season trophy tracker and update my predictions from start of season, but only ratings of teams, so not coming plus or minus or line ups, maybe i try find time to add every team 3 MVP's in the update. Lets see!

 

There is almost 30 game played, so it will helping me if you want tell who you think is your team 3 best players. When i make half season update, i will notice your selections.

 

At the moment Wild three best players from this season are

 

Zach Parise (LW/RW) (MVP)

Marco Scandella (D)

Jared Spurgeon (D)

 

Yeah i know Suter was in the earlie season favorite to Norris, but Scandella and Spurgeaon made more important points for the team, Sutter play big minutes and that is biggest reason why NHL put him to earlie Norris favorite in they site. Yeah Suter is one of best in Defencive way, so he might be in my top 3 in half season report (update)

WooooooW what game Wild play yesterday agaist NY Islanders, best game of season, second time when we make 4 goal in last period and won game. First period was awful and pooring, we gave 3 goal, in second period we made powerplay goal, but NYI make goal, shot was they only shot in period, and i was like no way, what a lucky goal, (goal wasnt lucky, way how it came mean only shot of period was unlucky to Wild) then we came to third period make four goal and won game, third period was so exciting, it was hockey as best it can be. I was screeming like crazy when we tie game and when we make winning goal. Wow. Thanks Wild! There was one bad injury when Martin tackle Ballard without Penalty and that turn game to us, then game was 3-0 to NYI

Sharks' Christmas video this year is amazing hahaha

 

[L3ftY.]

you guys are so off base with your predictions. study the game and learn from your mistaken forecasts. the Leafs shall prevail once again. Leafs and Preds in cup final.

 

 

 

 

who woulda thunk that? but riding a 6 game winning streak and after beating the west-leading ducks last night, anything is possible...

 

 

[D..X]

there  definitely rolling  GO LEAFS GO   

[von Rantala]

Sorry that im again late with last week stars.

 

1. Tyler Ennis C (BUF) 3GP 1G + 4A = 5P 1GWG +3

2. Ryan Suter D (MIN) 3GP 0G + 5A = 5P 0GWG -3

3. Henrik Lundqvist G (NYR) 3W - 0L - 0OT 1,30 95,1 1SO

 

 

Minnesota lose last game agaist Hawks, lose was tought because we was better team in third period, referee gave easy penalty to Haula and we lost game, Hawks was better in second period and first was tie, So game was very even game. I really think that Wild need to find new number one goalie, in that spot we give too much handicap to other teams and that is biggest reason why we are outside of playoff line. I hope that we buy new goalie.

 

My Wish list for goalies are

 

Karri Rämö (CGY)

Pekka Rinne (NSH) of course i know that we will not get Rinne or cost is too heavy

Tuukk Rask (BOS) same as Rinne

Kari Lehtonen (DAL)

James Reimer (TOR)

John Gibson (ANA)

Again we lost game because bad goalie game, now from Bäckström, we lost 5 game because our goalies played badly. We won only one game because our goalie played well, (Kuemper won one game for us in start of season) Good goalie win 10 game for his team, (there is about 7-10 who can win 10 game for his team every season) Vezina winner and finalist win usually 12-20 game for his team (there is about 4 goalie who can do that, Rask, Rinne, Lundqvist and Quick). We really need new goalie, we need better powerplay also. I dont know if Yeo is right man to our team, because he cant get enough from our players, we allow first goal too often and we start game often poorly and then we must come back in third period and make 2-3 goal. It happened now very often that we are two or three goal behind when we go to third period we come close and win or lose those games for one goal. So in my view we need atleast new number one goalie and i think new coatch also, I hope that we take Dan Bylsma, i think GM Fletcher try first buy new goalie and if that not fix problem kick Yeo and take new coatch, but i hope that Fletcher not wait too long as he usually dose. For Yeo he still make minor mistakes too often, as in last game when he didnt put Vanek in two man powerplay, instead that he put Granlund on two man powerplay and because Granlund is left hand player he miss open net, if Vanek would be there he putted that net because he is Right hand player. Plus Yeo too often mix up lines, when lines start working he mix up then again, and its again take two to three games that lines start work and we usually lose thoses games. We have very good roster, and our roster should be in top three in our division, but now we are outside of playoff line.

 

I want add Craig Anderson to my goalie wish list, he is very underrated goalie, who played always with amazingly good stats if team front of him playing well and if not he always kept team in games. He has two time lead his team in Playoffs once in Colorado when he was team MVP and once in Ottawa when he was top 3 player of his team and playoffs mvp of Ottawa. I think if he get good team where to play he can be Vezina finalist.

Here is one great hockey moment too, i can only think what what would be soccer player done in tackle like this. Probably crying in grass and waiting that referee stop game, but Hockey players never give up.

So my final Goali wish list (i leave Rinne and Rask out because we cant get them)

 

1. Karri Rämö (CGY) Reason: Is my favorite goalie in NHL at the moment, very good goalie who can vin Vezine if he get good team front of him.

2. Craig Anderson (OTT) Reason: he is very underrated goalie, who played always with amazingly good stats if team front of him playing well and if not he always kept team in games. He has two time lead his team in Playoffs once in Colorado when he was team MVP and once in Ottawa when he was top 3 player of his team and playoffs mvp of Ottawa. I think if he get good team where to play he can be Vezina finalist.

3. Antti Raanta (CHI) Reason: Good goalie, played good Word Champion Tournament and great season in 2012-2013 (Finnish hockey league) I dont know him so well but can be very good choise to our goal.

4. Cam Talbot (NYR) Reasons: Very good and promising goalie, Played two good and solid AHL season and have been very good in Rangers goal, was number one briefly last season. This season he have been irregular, but in my mind he will be number one goalie in some team in next season, Maybe in Edmonton if we not take him.

5. Kari Lehtonen (DAL) Reason: Good goalie, have poor season going but biggest reason for is because Dallas defence so poorly and they defencive line ups are very young. Most defenders are rookies.

6. James Reimer (TOR) Reason: Was three season Toronto number one goalie, first season was great, second not so great and third was great and he played very good playoffs also, last season Bernier take number one slot and this season have been hard, goalie who can play better if he get more games. Future starter in league, maybe in Edmonton or Phoenix if Wild not take him

7. John Gibson (ANA) Reason: After Vasilievsky (TB) most promising goalie in the world at the moment. Had Injury so thats why havent play long time, future ANA starter if Wild not take him.

 

 

Teams played now 30 game. So what are you wish list, what you want that you team buy before trade deatline, who you want that you team send to other teams. Feedback mates!
