Never watched All-start games, for several reasons, one is that i watch over 100 game (NHL+ Ice hockey World Championship tournament) ice hockey every season, All-Star break is good break to my from hockey, ofcourse i think hockey everyday and thinking how many games Wild must win that they can get to playoffs and what they need to change to be eligible to win cup etc. One reason is that its not so valued event when biggest stars keep staying out of event because mysterious injuries. If NHL want keep one or two week breaks in season better way to use them is to play World Cups or Olympic hockey not All-Star games. Just my own opinion.

Btw what you think about World Cup.

 

Im happy that we finally play World Cup, but i think its wrong that Canada and USA get two team in tournament, i mean in that young team from North America, i can accept that Europian team when there is a lot countries what dont have own team in tournament, but in my mind in tournament should be 10 team. Then there is possibility to teams like Germany, Switzerland etc. and World Championship tournament can tell who take part in World Cup, Example 10 best team who has best overal result from last two World Championship tournament get right to take part of tournament.

Defencive group still need one offencive defender

I predict that Luongo will play good season

Need of wingers is still there

Team have been surprised me how well they played, they run four lines and share game time.

Ekblad solid performance have been surprise too, i knew that he is good player, but usually it take one to two year longer from defender to make this kind impression in team and points.

I predict right that Kings still in botton half with made goals

 

 

 

Miss

 

Kings is a lot lower than i except, yes its possible that they not make in the playoffs in this season, why, first there is big offencive names who have been disappointments like Richards, Pearson, they lost Voynov and Mitchell, and Quick havent play as solid game as usually. But still i think Kings will go to playoffs and no need to panic, but 40% of my intution say that Kings not make in playoffs in this season.

I was wrong when i say that team should keep Richards and Brown, now they should trade at least Richards.

I valued them in first place in my first prediction

 

Minnesota Wild

Best goalie

 

Darcy Kuemper

 

Miss and hits from my offseason prediction

I guess that right when i say that we need one to two defender more, i love how Scandella play and he is my favorite player, but we need one new defender with him, Spurgeon is not good enough, he has too much those hot and cold streak.

I predict that Zucker or some other young players can take his next step and take spot in second line, i loved how Zucker played, put him to bigges surprise because he was leading our scores (in goals) long time.

Was Right that we have two very good offencive line, we have now several players who is going to 40-50 point seasons

 

 

 

Miss

 

Goalie situation. I predict that totally wrong, one reason because Harding who i predict to be start have been out whole season, but i wait that Bäckström play a lot better, i even wait that Bäckström can come back with Vezina level.

Predict wrong they situation in standings

Predict wrong several individual trophies

Yeah I understand you. The All-Star game is boring. But I enjoyed the skill competition and the draft when they made their teams.

 

And the World Cup is coming back!!!! September 2016 in Toronto. Gonna be a fun one!! :>

Yeah but what you think about that north american has two team i mean Canada and Usa both has two team in tournament when there is young team from north america what is made from young players, i dont like it so much. Here i quote my last commend

 

 

Btw what you think about World Cup.

Well I guess they don't want to have games ending up 10-0, which is why Germany and Switzerland are not there.

 

Canada

USA

Russia

Finland

Sweden

Czech Republic

Team Europe (made up of the other countries who don't have enough GOOD players) this is fine.

North American under 23. (i dont know about this one, but hey they needed one more team who had talent lol)

 

So what if we get 3 teams, Europe has 5 :P

It have been long time when someone beat Germany or Switzerland for so big numbers, in this days they even beat Canada or USA regulary. Two year ago Switzerland was in World Championship tournaments silver team, and not long time ago Switzerland beat Canada in Olympic hockey. I hear that ESPN report that this (2016) is exception and in next World Cup there will be elimination/trial tournament to those two-four last team, but in this time timeschedule was so tight that there wasnt time for trial games.

I can tell my first players:

 

If Bäckström is your starting goalie, you're gonna have a bad time.

If Bäckström is your starting goalie, you're gonna have a bad time.

 

Yeah he's not my starting goalie anymore, at the moment its 1. Rämö 2. Dubnyk 3. Bäckström, Sometimes i lose a lot because im loyal  to my favorite players, btw here is last update of my Fantasy team. http://fearless-assassins.com/topic/61635-nhl-season-2014-2015/?p=586723After that update only change have been Dubnyk in my goal, i give him chance to win my heart. What is your favorite team?

Wooow was most thrilling game of seaso last night, Dont open spoiler if you dont want hear score

Wild won Oilers 2-1 and now we need won almost every game, so all games are extra thrilling

Dubnyk played now 5 game, he pulled out from goal in fourth game, but four of those goals agaist Detroit change direction from own or Detroit players, so you cant put those goals to Dubnyk fault,

In last game was goalie vs goalie, and our goalie won that game, so you can say that Dubnyk won game to us yesterday, and it was third or fourth time in this season when we won because our goalie played great game

I give him more time before i make my final decation with him, but what i have seen now i like a lot. He has made 5-7 big big saves in these 5 games, those saves what we didnt get from Bäckström or Kuemper. I see next Wild game in sunday even that game will be played in Thursday, friend coming visit so i can watch game sunday after i drive him home. So will update more in monday, my team update continue in monday or tuesday also.

Stars of week http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=751383&navid=nhl:topheads

 

Btw i dont use only Wild glasses i use Leijona (Lion=Finnish national ice-hockey team) glasses too

 

199.jpg

 

 

But in real, i always use Wild cap when i watch game, hehe maybe someday i add pic too, i dont have money to buy shirt yet, but i will someday. At the moment i have Antero Niittymäki TPS shirt.

 

Shirts what i really want to buy

 

M. Koivu (MIN)

S. Koivu (MTL)

A. Niittymäki (TBL)

P. Nummelin (FIN)

M. St. Louis (CAN)

K. Timonen (PHI)

S. Hartnell (PHI)

 

 

For Dubnyk he started well, i like how he won game against Edmonton and Calgary to us. Vancouver game was great too from him. Even that he allow one easy goal, but that can happen and he make couple key save after that goal. In every game Dubnyk made couple big and key saves, what we didnt get from Kuemper or Bäckström. After Dubnyk join us we have go 4-1-1 if we continue like that we will play playoffs and if we make to playoffs then its new season and all is possible.

 

I try find time to update my NHL team update tomorrow or wednesday.

WooW anyone seen how well we have been played after we got new goalie, goalie can change situation so much, i wasnt wrong when i say that we will start win games if we get better goalie or when i say that we have been losing because our goalies, after we got Dubnyk we are 7-1-1 and last night we beat Chicago 3-0 and shoot was 43-24 to Wild and we shoot 24 time in second period. If we continue play like this we can win Cup in this season. :)
