The Minnesota Wild just became the most TERRIFYING team in the NHL…
We just witnessed the most terrifying thing about the Minnesota Wild as we just got our first real taste of what this team looks like with Quinn Hughes and also one line that has been long awaited for a breakout has officially occurred. We're going to be breaking it all down here in this video going over our first taste of what Quinn Hughes is going to bring to this team when he gets more familiar with this system. But what we just saw, I am still in shock. And the rest of the NHL is absolutely horrified about what this team brings. We're going to be breaking it all down here in this video. Before we do jump into it, ladies and gentlemen, I ask you one favor, and that's if you haven't already, be sure to hit that sub button. Your guys support's been so incredible over this Quinn Hughes acquisition saga, and we have a lot more coming. There's no sign of slowing down. We had a video earlier today about the updates for this game and we're going to have another one tomorrow about some more updates regarding the next move for this Minnesota Wild team. So, you won't want to miss it. Be sure to hit that sub button and hit the bell as well so you get you're notified whenever we upload. But we need to jump straight into this. And first of all, I wanted to go over the box score. Not the box score necessarily, but the goals because this game had a lot of just phenomenal stuff to pick away at. And looking at this game originally starting with Vladimir Terosenko him getting his goal nearly getting a hat-tick. Him and Denil Yurov that line with the Russians has played absolutely fantastic the last two games. This game in specific though was where we really saw them boom. This was their breakout line. This was their breakout game. These two together, it was just unbelievable to watch. And that's not even including everybody else that has kind of worked all with that line. Quinn Hughes on that line quite a bit as well or being paired with them on defense. It worked out very well. A guy who's normally a goal scorer in Vladimir Terasenko creating an absolute incredible between the legs play to get around the defenseman. A backhand across the crease to Denil Yurov. Just some insane plays. And it has been long awaited since these guys really were going to catch some wind and they finally did that here. And I feel like just bringing these goals and the points from these guys and looking at just the overall goals here and the points for this game really resulted in that. Now also going of course Caro Capri off getting one, Matt Bolley getting one. These guys both can still continuing to play at an extreme level. Capri off getting the power play. Officially the most power play goals in Minnesota Wild history. Congrats on that. And has now officially moved into second place in all time goals for the Minnesota Wild. and Matt Baldi with a crazy and just a smart short-handed goal. I mean, keeping the puck on the ice, cutting in into the slot, just a phenomenal phenomenal play. But that was null. There's of course one big thing that we saw in this game that was really at another level and that was Quinn Hughes. Looking at how this game really played, the eight penalty minutes that Washington Capitals did take, the shots, the faceoffs, the Wild were able to generate plays to give Quinn Hughes an opportunity. And with those eight penalty minutes came four power plays for the Minnesota Wild. And did we ever see Quinn Hughes appear? Looking at this right now, Quinn Hughes played just under 30 minutes time on ice. Him and Brock Faber. Now, you notice Damon Hunt, he left the game with a knee on knee right at the beginning of this game. We're going to be breaking that down here in a few minutes. But seeing everybody in this lineup right now, especially on defense, jump into another level. Many guys here, especially Matt Keriststad, David Yurichek, punching above their weight class for this game, kind of being mixed up in some lines. Huge, phenomenal job to them. But you saw Quinn Hughes, what he's really made of. And of course, you weren't going to see it just in the first game. You're not going to see it in this game. But we got a glimpse of how he is able to hold, generate, and create plays in this game. He is at another level. And I mean, there's no other way to describe it because playing 30 minutes here with your second game with this team, generating multiple opportunities. The shot on the power play, which it did hit Eric's neck, dropped right to Capriav for the backhander top left over the um well the glove side due to a righty goalie of Charlie Lingren for Capri's power play goal. And not just that, the breakout passes, everything that you and we wanted to see from Queen Hughes has already been underway. And like he said last game at the end of last game in that press conference, he will continue to get better and better on that. He just needs to get more familiar with the team. And you know, throwing someone in the lineup like this, you don't expect him to go out here and do what Quinn Hughes just did. But that just goes to show another level of player that he actually is. So, I'm super hyped about that. I want to know what you guys think here in the comments below. And I really do feel like this is incomplete without talking about the hockey stat card. You look at Denilov and Vladimir Terasenko. I hope these guys games today don't go under the radar because of what Quinn Hughes did. But still talking about Quinn Hughes and Brock Faber. Once again, I'm still not trying to under uh undermine them because they were absolutely fantastic. Generated the win here for this Wild team. You look at Quinn Hughes and Brock Faber. The defense, the offense from individual and team, everything is positive. Everybody else here in this lineup does have a little bit. Goes to show the level of hockey these guys were playing today. down to five defenseman and still being able to do this is genuinely crazy. And like I said, without kind of undermining these guys here in 15 and 16 minutes time on ice, respectively, three points, we're really starting to see Denil Yurov come into himself. Vladimir Terasenko is a major help to that. And Bill Garren was absolutely right in trusting his gut with Denil Yurov, thinking that he is ready and making that Quinn Hughes moves possible because they trust how Denil Yurov's development is going. And if this isn't a positive sign towards that, I don't know what is. And I mean, shout out to that second line once again because this top six phenomenal Yakov Trenion up here in that second line, not normally the space that this guy would be. A phenomenal phenomenal job from him. and even the bottom six here. Great to see Felino back. Great to see some drive from everybody else here in this lineup. So, like I said, let me know what you think. But we do have a few more updates here in this video regarding Damon Hunt. Of course, leaving the game early here in this one with that neon knee only playing a little bit less than four minutes. And Michael Russo tweeted this out when this did occur. Bean, Broaddin, Middleton, and now Damon Hunt are all out. Damon Hunt limped down the tunnel after being checked by Ethan Frank. did not return to this lineup and now it's just another player down. Another defenseman at that another lefthanded defenseman. The Wild can't catch a break and like we've seen this team have be all season really and like we saw them say on the broadcast, you get one guy back in in Marcus Fino, you see two go out with at that point it was Bejan and Marcus Johansson it was for this game but still the sheer amount of people out is just definitely a point of concern. And when you're looking at the injuries, like I said, be Goian still a right-hand defenseman, but Broaddin, Middleton, now Damon Hunt, you're looking at these lines right here, Quinn Hughes, Damon Hunt, and Matt Kristad. if Damon Hunt is out any time uh you know that is a bit longer ahead of Thursday's game and we do not see a return for either Broaddin Bego and Middleton who is likely not going to be or Damon Hunt the Wild are going to be limited to only a few possible moves and there are a few in the AHL it could be a Carson Lambo's time at Jack Per there's many other names down there that could get the call but this is getting a bit concerning for the Wild of course another left-handed defenseman going down with an injury. And of course, we've seen this year already the Wild mix up their defense by having right-hand shots on the left side and left-hand shots on the right side. Whatever can fill the hole, they've done so. So, it's just another injury, which is crazy to actually talk about and crazy to see again. But right now, all we can do is hope that Damon Hunt is okay. Someone is returning soon. We just need to hope for the best from this defense to get healthy as soon as possible ahead of Thursday's next game before we have three games in four days over the weekend before the holiday break. Once again, some very important games, but this is exactly what the Wild needed to do to get this win, a bounceback win specifically against the Washington Capitals, but also another win as we do continue towards the holiday break. They want to make sure they're hot before they do that and show the rest of the NHL that they're not to be messed with. So, what is now one of, if not the most terrifying team in the NHL has made their mark again? And I want to know what you guys thought about this game, specifically Quinn Hughes, but also about that second line and if you think this should stick even when the injuries kind of all get healthy. Do you think that this line should stick together with specifically Terasenko and Yurv? Let me know what you think in the comments below. But ladies and gentlemen, that is all I have here in this video. If you did enjoy it, give it a like. Hit the sub button as well. I'm signing out though. Thank you for watching. Hope you have a great day.

That power play line looking legit with Tarasenko looking good
Hughes elevates everyone else, gives that spark ⚡️
I commented on a tiktok that if Tarasenko gets to 50% of what he used to be, we're gonna be a problem. If he gets to 75%, get your parade chairs ready.
Gas for real
Do you think our center depth is enough to sustain a playoff run?
Forgot about the Gus shutdown
now the wild have to trade for one of Quinn Hughes brothers to keep him beyond 2027
All this while we're down 5-6 players too!
Русские зажигают в Миннесоте и это радует!..
Приятно наблюдать в целом за игрой команды.Если прибавят по ходу сезона,то будут в финале конференции!
