Good post. For all that state contributes at the high school and college level, it’s been pretty much dud at the NHL level. The Wild especially, as you noted. But even the North Stars, hard to think of anything memorable about them except the bright green jerseys and the Dino Ciccarelli-led run to the final one year. 

They had some good players Modano.     We had some playoff battles with them.    They were one of the Islanders victims one season.   Made an unlikely run to lose to Mario in the finals in what, 92?   

I remember the anger when they were taken away

I remember one year in the playoffs, Wings and Stars went to OT and we're all putting a dollar in on who would score the winner in OT and my friend's cousin just yells out YVES RACINE - who had 5 goals all year and a 33-game pointless streak.    He took the kitty that night.   One of the most brilliant calls ever.   Almost as brilliant as my call in December 2004 as the Lions came back from 28-14 vs. the Vikings and as they scored to make it 28-27 I yelled out "They're gonna muff the snap".   Yep.

copp getting hurt sucks because it takes away one of their best defensive forwards AND it means more ice time for the human bad luck charm vladimir tarasenko.

[lordstanley]

Wild come back from 2-goal deficit, into OT now. 

[buddha]

huge loss.

and once again GUSTAFFSON ****S UP THE GAME AND LEADS TO THE GOAL.

PLEASE CUT THIS MAN.  THERE IS NO WAY THEY DONT HAVE A BETTER PLAYER IN THE MINORS.

Dang nab it. Release Tarasinko...or however the idiot spells his name. So useless....

[buddha]

how good would the wings be if they had signed ANYONE OTHER THAN TARASENKO AND GUSTAFFSON THIS YEAR?

You could tell they were going to give it up. They didn't have the gas to pursue the puck at all short handed or at the end of the game generally. Did Kasper, Berggren or Veleno even dress for this game?

Tuomisto

Buium

Wallinder

 

Take your pick.

I don't know who may be truly ready to take on the NHL... rank them Tuomisto-Buium-Wallinder? Just as I have them listed? Plus Tuomisto is RH'ed...

Kane largely floated out there today..seen enough of him as well

[lordstanley]

Washington, #1 in the conference but with no players at 4 Nations, came out of the break flying, blowing out Pittsburgh 8-3. 

New York Rangers, #11 in the conference and having sent 6 players to 4 Nations, got bombed 8-2 by Buffalo. 

[lordstanley]

Flying start for the Wings against Anaheim with 3 goals in first 5:06 of the game. Now 3-1 after 1.

[Motor City Sonics]

This one's about to explode.

2-goal lead with under 6 minutes to go. Better not cough it up this time.

I have been out for a bit. Is your post in reference to this?

Gulp. 4-3 with 2:16 to go

Tie game!! Inexcusable. 

[lordstanley]

NEED to win this in overtime. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

What is wrong with this team? They can't hold a lead now?

[Motor City Sonics]

YES !!!!!!!!!!!

[lordstanley]

Showtime saves the day! All’s well that ends well.

Thank goodness. Pistons and Wings both win at almost the same time. But giving away 2 goal leads back to back really sucks.
