von Rantala Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Wild game versus St. Louis is starting, St. Louis is opponed who i most be afraid, i think that is team what is best in NHL at the moment, so we need victory today, ofcourse Chicago and Los Angels are hard teams too, but i dont want to get St. Louis against us in first round neither, let see. Hopefully we can win today We need win from tonight game Edited March 21, 2015 by von Rantala 2 Quote
von Rantala Posted March 22, 2015 Author Posted March 22, 2015 WoW what game from Wild, we was so much better in game and won 6-3. St. Louis make couple quick goal and show that in four against four we have still minor problems, and we drop our defence when we was four goal in lead, but Yeo take time out and after that we start play our hockey again. Thanks boys, it was so nice to see live game win Quote
von Rantala Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 Three star of week http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=759395&navid=nhl:topheads Look like Dubnyk start his 31 game in row, its back to back games and we play today against Toronto and tomorrow New York Islanders, i dont know why Yeo didnt give Dubnyk rest in this game, he need rest, in couple last game there have been minor signals that he start get tired, Yeo made same mistake every year in Wild, he over use his number one goalie and then they injured just when Playoff starts or they are tired when playoffs starts, i hope that Fletcher see that too and kick Yeo if that happen in this season playoffs too, Its main reason why i never loved Yeo, he should give Dubnyk/his number one goalie rest time to time when its possible when weaks teams come play against us. Hopefully Dubnyk get rest today or at least tomorrow or i will be very angry to Yeo. Yes i know our second and third goalies suck, but we play much better now than in start of season so can be possible that other goalies will play better too. Quote
von Rantala Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) YEAAAH! 10 road won straight. TEN there is a lot teams who never done that in they history, but Wild won all road games from 18. February, and there have been back to back games, there have been leaders of NHL, so i think that finally ppls must start accept that we are good team and ppls have to start see that we are strong cup challanger, if not then those ppls havent see our games and dont know nothing at NHL hockey. I believed our Stanley chances for whole season, and im so happy to see that we play our game and with our skills and we use our potential Thanks Boys, its fun when you can be proud on your team I enjoy every game and so wating to start of Playoffs already, and im in spain (mallorca) trip when there is Playoff going, so i have a lot hockey to watch when i come back to home and maybe i can download NHL gamecenter in spain, (now i watched from Viaplay what direct me to NHL Gamecenter, if i try connect straight to NHL gamecenter it direct me to vault when Nordic ppls have to do in through Viaplay when they have NHL rights here, but maybe in spain i can use Gamecenter but i have to pay extra then) Edited March 25, 2015 by von Rantala Quote
von Rantala Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Btw i remember how before season start i was disappointed how Flyers trade Hartnell to Columbus and i was thinking that it was mistake, look like it was huge mistake from new Flyers GM Ron Hextall, he didnt get good start for GM post, he trade most popular and cult player to player who have been disappointment, even that in my eyes Umberger just played as couple last year he has played and played with his skills. I will never forgive that Hextall trade him, even that i had two team which i can accept to him be traded his and those are Wild and Columbus (Columbus because there is first Finnish GM and i follow that team and hope all the best for that team and for Kekäläinen, i hope that Kekäläinen can bring cup to Columbus some day and open way to other Finnish coaches and GM's) I still in my heart hope than i can see Hartnell in Wild uniform or back in Flyers uniform, Hartnell is my big big idol, he always give all from his heart and even that i hope to see him in Wild or Flyers im very very happy that he is in Columbus too, because if some year Wild drop out from playoffs i can still watch him in team which one i hope the best, If you see my point. I still think that Columbus should give him C and name him in the team captain, he is big leader! Maybe when next season start i can nump this message with big smile and happines that my wish is realized. Why i decided write on Hartnell today is because he made Hat trick last night and i was soooo happy for him, maybe we can see him in Canada jersey in coming word championship tournament.

von Rantala Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 No. WHAT, why? i love that guy, so i wanted hear why you dont want see him in Canada Jersey? I can understand if you dont like him, he is player who own loves and opponents hate Quote

I can understand if you dont like him, he is player who own loves and opponents hate Oh I have nothing against him. I like him. But he's not talented enough to be on team Canada. We have A LOT of Canadian players with more skills lol. Quote

We have A LOT of Canadian players with more skills lol. Yeah but when you build winning group you need good third and fourth liners also in my mind, example Finnish national teams has always builded that in fourth line we choose fourth line players, and i mean those guys who know how to play defencive way, those guys who can play fysical game, in my mind it is impossible to build team where all players are first liners, all are those point per game players and those skill players, in Olympic it can work, when everyone is so decicated on they role, but in World championshiptournament it not work so well, because it is longer tournament and its played every year also, so its not so big in players eyes than olympics where is harder to get, if you see my point. I think its one reason why Canada havent accomplish so well in past tournaments. Plus you cant only watch skills when you choose players in roster, you have to choose different style players, Hartnell is scorer, and powerforward and leader, you cant find many of guys who are better in those roles, yes he is not best in skills but he is one of best in his own area, and for winning group you need different style players, if you see my point Edited March 27, 2015 by von Rantala Quote

I thought you meant the new tournament starting in 2016. Yeah well, no one really follows that world championship here lol. Our best players aren't there and the goalies are usually crap. Quote
von Rantala Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 Wild is Five game Winning streak and we won LAK too 4-1, it was back to back games, and we had our hard moments in second period but we played great hockey in first period and solid defencive play in third period and we won LAK on they own style, we was better in first game against LAK and we shoot 60 to Quick and got only 1 goal in first two game, saturday we chace him out of goal in one period, we play great game against Calgary too, and yesterday we was in third in Central Division and now one point away of Chicago and third place of Central Division, and we have now 7 points lead against Los Angeles in playoff race we are going to win Cup in this season if we continue playing like we have played after all-star break, we have been best team of NHL after All-star break, but we never got credit of that in NHL site or NHL news in world because ppls tend to overlook our team. Im so so so happy, those two win against Calgary and Los Angeles feeled so good, i havent been so happy for long time, im big time fan and lose hurt me a lot, and wins feel so good, that its hard to explain to ppls who are not sport fans. You live with teams. But everytime when we win its feel more better because i see so many good things what confirm my playoff dreams and Stanley Cup dreams, i have believed our Stanley whole season, i believed that in last season too, but i never saw Wild playing as good hockey as i have seen now after all-star break, you can see on every player that they really want win, you can see on they celebrations that they come to win Stanley in this season, for Parise and Sutter and for whole team and fans.

von Rantala Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 Star of the week http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=760582&navid=nhl:topheads Dubnyk is first star He had great week and he won couple game to us Quote
LA_Kings_Fan Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Just wanted to remind everyone ... ... sometimes BETTER LATE than NEVER ! It's not April YET and the Kings have SIX games remaining. Edited March 31, 2015 by LA_Kings_Fan Quote
von Rantala Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Just wanted to remind everyone ... ... sometimes BETTER LATE than NEVER ! It's not April YET and the Kings have SIX games remaining. Yeah i see a lot same with my team as Kings, No one believed that Kings could win Cup or even second cup, no one believe our Wild either We play different styles, but i still see a lot same as Kings had with they first cup year. For this season, look like Kings will not go in playoffs, its not in they hands anymore, they need help from others teams, they need to get one win more than Calgary, i dont remember how it was in last couple years if it was in same situation with Kings that they needed other teams help to get in the Playoffs, or if it was they own hands. But i get feeling that in this season LAK is out of playoffs, there is teams like Calgary, Vancouver, Winnipeg and Minnesota who really want to go in playoffs and want win games to get there and they have roster to do that. You cant every season to count situation that you will clinch in playoffs in last week, because in some year it will not in your hands anymore, and good end of season not enough every year if you keep playing poor season start, if you see what i mean, you cant trust that you will get playoff spot every season with strong end of season, because there is so much teams who want take that playoffs spot also and you cant trust that your good end of season always bring playoffs spot to you if other teams play strong end of season too, so thats why i think good start of season is important too.
