von Rantala Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) I am happy, sorry to be the spoiler last night Kingsfan. After 8 losses they don't care who they beat . You team did Wilds (third period come back) Three stars of week This week was Good for FA members 1. Anze Kopitar C (LAK) 3GP 1G + 8A = 9P +/- 0 0GWG © 2. Jakub Voracek RW (PHI) 4GP 3G + 4A = 7P +6 1GWG 3. Marc-Andre Fleury G (PIT) 3G 3W-0L-0OT 0,99GAA 97,1SV% 1SO Tomorrow is Chrismast eve, in Finland and most of Europe we Celebrate Christmas in 24 day with family, good food and open all christmas presents. So when i come back from my Granparents i hope that Wild give me Christmas present and win this night game In last year too (if i remember correcly) Wild play in 23. night what meant that when i came back from Christmas party in 24 day i had game to watch. EDIT LINE: YEAAAH im super exiced Koivu, Parise and Pommiville finally in same line, and Bäcsktröm in Goal. I so so hope that Bäcsktröm finally get good game, he has played well lately but team not defenced well front of him in couple last games. Time to time i saw old Bäckström again who was Vezina Finalist once and won Roger Crozier Save Award and William M. Jennings trophies once!

von Rantala Posted December 29, 2014 Author Posted December 29, 2014 My manager update, In second picture you can see explanation how i calculate made goals and allowed goals, because i choose couple extra players in roster because injuries my players played 33,61 game per player but real amount was 33. My goalies has played 31 game when real amount is 33. I take real amout of games played on Wild team. 1. Pic = Rosters from games 1 to 20 (red players have been lose more than 5 games in that 10 game span and Green player have been in roster and taking injured or scratched players spot) 2. Pic = Rosters from games 21- 3. Pic = Players stats 4. Pic = Team stats 5. Pic = Player stats from old teams and traded players and prospects 6. Pic = Injuries Quote
L3ftY. Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 WJC 2015 Considering what happened in Sweden last year, tonight's game should be a good one - Canada versus Finland, in Montreal. 2 Quote
meow Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Anyone watched Canada vs USA? What an awesome game lol. Go Canada Go!! :> 1 Quote
von Rantala Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) In next weekend (10-11.Jan) i try get ready my half season update There is couple surprise when you check Standings when Boston and Los Angeles and Wild is outside of Playoffs line (but i know for sure that those three will play playoffs in this season), and New York Islanders and Calgary is very good places in playoff run. In every season we get at least one new starting goalie in league, or changes in goalie spots what can surprise too. But in this season can be gap year on that. When we havent get any new starting goalies, only Hutchinson is challanged Pavelec in Winnipeg starting goalie spot, but Pavelec havent never be in top 20 goalies in league so thats not surprise me. Before season start i predict that Hutchinson will take starter job from Pavelec so that prediction looking good at the moment. Edited January 1, 2015 by von Rantala Quote
L3ftY. Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 and so it begins....yet another long season for Leafs Nation... 2 Quote
meow Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I thought Montreal fans were crazy but man Toronto fans....you guys are fighting for a playoffs spot in the wild card and it looks like you guys gave up lol 1 Quote
von Rantala Posted January 7, 2015 Author Posted January 7, 2015 Yeah i was surprised hear this, Carlyle was not poor coach, yes Toronto has been allowed too much goals, it havent been goalies fault because poor defence, but new coach choise was surprising it was like white flag when you hire only interm coatch like New Jersey and Edmonton. Next fired coatch will be Mike Yeo from Wild, we really need new goalie too, we just lose game because Kuemper again in last night when he allow couple easy goal. In last couple games Wild played like team who give up. They play like team who really not trust own goalie and Yeo keep putting Kuemper in goal and not give real chance to Bäckström. 2 Quote
LA_Kings_Fan Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 The WILD are still several players away from being a serious threat and contender ... sorry Von Rantala Quote
von Rantala Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 The WILD are still several players away from being a serious threat and contender ... sorry Von Rantala Yeah Granlund injury hurst us too much, I love Kyle Brodziak who is now second center but he is defencive way center not offencive center what we need, but biggest problem is our goalies, every who saw wild games more than couple time in this season can agree with me that we lost too many games because poor goalies, both Bäckström and Kuemper allow easy goals too often, Kuemper is pulled 5 time from goal and four time Yeo but him back in next game and in those four he played well in two game and poorly in two game. Only Edmonton has worse save percent than Wild, its tell a lot about our goalies, i dont know why Fletcher (GM) wasnt take new goalie yet. There was Brodeur free agent a long time, there was Vokoun free agent long time (but i think he was injured because he retired) and there is couple team who is ready to trade goalie, example Toronto and Chicago and St. Louis.

von Rantala Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 There was couple line what i did not understand, when USA english is so different sometimes, http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=747543&navid=nhl:topheadsbut again i must say why Fletcher is so so slow with his decisions, take Bylsma behind bench and we start win. I must agree that biggest reason of our hard season have been goalies but we need coach change too, because last season and season before that we almost miss playoff because losing streaks end of the seasons.

LA_Kings_Fan Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) ALL is NOT WELL in WILD country ... sorry Von Rantala, but not sure IF you had seen this yet ... http://www.twincities.com/sports/ci_27274840/wild-losing-effort-set-off-coach-mike-yeo With his team gathered in front of him along the red line, Yeo slammed his stick against the ice and went on a profanity-laced tirade about poor play of late. He made it clear that goaltending isn't the only issue facing the Wild. He said players "pointing the finger" are emblematic of a "loser's mentality." With a red face, he unleashed 30 expletives in 90 seconds, furious that the players had the audacity to "practice like this" after losing eight of their past 10 games. After the address, he skated toward the bench and snapped his white stick into two pieces, a final exclamation before leaving practice early. I expect some changes in Minnesota soon unless the players turn it around, but they might 'want' Yeo gone ? and have already tuned him out ? it's a potential for a big blow up or change. ==== As for your Goalie situation, I've seen rumors of the Wild asking about Kings back-up Martin Jones ... though the return might be more than the Wild can afford to give up ? I mean he's a very promising young goalie with a bright NHL record already, and I doubt the Kings have interest in trading him, especially after just trading Johnathan Bernier the year before to Toronto. But it's something to keep an eye on either at the trade deadline, or in the offseason more likely, as he is an RFA. I doubt we move him, but you never know, our Defense needs help, we should have tried to hang to Willie Mitchell but, oh well. Edited January 9, 2015 by LA_Kings_Fan 1 Quote

Thanks Kings fan did not know that, yeah i have lost faith to Yeo too, but im surprised how players have acted, there is a lot leaders in our group and was surprising to hear that players have been pointing fingers, Yes i have seen how many time we lost games because our goalies and i can understand why they dont trust goalies anymore, i seen so many times how we played soo well and how we have been better team and then Kuemper or Bäcsktröm give easy goal and team just stop play they own game. I see that biggest "guilty one" is Fletcher (GM) when he havent done what needed. But i still believe that we can be in playoffs if Fletcher finally do something, i know that at the moment its not best moment to kick Yeo, because J.P Parise just die, and thats why it was not right moment to change coatch after/before Chicago game (what was good game from us also.) For Jones havent see him many times, but yes his stats are very good from every level where he is played, so yes i can welcome him to our team. Ofcourse i hope that we can get Rämö or Raanta because i know them better but i believe when you say that Jones is good and solid goalie! Edited January 9, 2015 by von Rantala 1 Quote
