  8. It’s just fucking disappointing after last season. This team, even after losing Fiala, should not be this bad. I don’t know what happened. They just cannot score to save their lives and can’t get routine saves from Gus. We needed Fleury in net tonight, and who knows when he’ll be back from injury? Hopefully soon. They need to figure it the fuck out.

  9. We had Talbot and Kahkonen. Now we have Fleury and Gus. Spot difference between these photos.

    I honestly believe that Fleury was a business move. That dude has fucking millions of fans, all willing to buy his gear no matter what team he’s on.

    We’re going to lose a lot, fine. But our team has lost its heart. Lost its fighting spirit. We don’t have that drive or urgency we had last year.

    No comebacks, just throws. It’s a shitty feeling to slowly lose faith that we’re gonna pull it off. Fans can’t even state their displeasure without others saying “unnngh doomer.”

    It sucks. We are sucking. Balls. We aren’t the same Wild as last year, we are worse. I want to better. “Oh, just wait another 4 years. Then you’ll see.”

  12. Best part of watching hockey with a 4 year old is he cheers no matter who scores. May have to take a page from his book this season

  13. Imagine being Kirill, trapped on a shit team, with a GM who doesn’t give a fuck during the prime of your career. I honestly feel for this kid.

  14. Can we just send Rossi down to Iowa if he’s gonna play 4th line minutes. Like either put him next to some skill players and let him figure it out or send him to Iowa so he will actually play. Ik he hasn’t been good, but it’s not like the guys that are replacing him in the lineup have done anything to help the offense. We suck either way so it’s whatever to me.

  15. Captain Obvious Game Notes — Gus can’t save a beach ball, PP is completely neutered, Rossi isn’t ready, idle money in Goose/Jost, injuries, still no 1C, S&P buyouts prohibit any meaningful change…looks and feels bleak for awhile.

  16. Just sad after the electric season we had last year (minus the playoffs) big moves and decisions need to be made soonish if we want to salvage any squirts of piss chance of making a legit playoff run this year. If not, take the L and in the off season acquire a LEGITIMATE core offense to play around Kirill.

  17. Another very winnable game. Wild are *right there* until they’re not. That second softie was an absolute killer after getting that shorty and getting right back in it.

    FEED line was the best line on the ice tonight by far, fourth line was invisible.

    Haven’t hit rock bottom but the elevator is going down. Our schedule is gauntlet of top teams for the next 2 weeks, gotta scrape together some wins and avoid going on a huge skid.
