  • Out On The Tiles

    Oh wait, we were only supposed to make Replacements and Husker Du references. Oh well.

    Now that we’ve sized up the Wild on every level, it’s time we predict how we think it all plays out. I do this with the caveat that last year, I wrote, “I can’t see how so many people are picking Phoenix. I think the Hawks win, and I don’t think it’ll be that hard.” Whoops.

  • Beard of The Day – April 30 – Adam Yauch

    adam-yauch-may4

    Just about a year ago, to the day, the music and film-making communities lost one of their most innovative sons, MCA of the Beastie Boys, Adam Yauch. And while it’s ultimately a trivial gesture, perhaps the best (and only) manner for this site to pay homage is in this form, to our man MCA, who had a beard like a billy goat.

  • Who’s Your John Druce?

    Who’s Your John Druce?

    It’s playoff tradition around these parts. For those who may be new to our little thing here, John Druce was a middling third liner for the Caps in the ’89-’90 season. But then the playoffs hit, and Druce from out of nowhere came up with 14 goals in 15 playoff games after scoring only 8 in 45 regular season games.

    So who do you think is going to emerge from the dark and be the talk of the town?

  • Trying To Find A Balance – Previewing the Wild’s Special Teams

    Trying To Find A Balance – Previewing the Wild’s Special Teams

    Up next under the microscope are the Wild’s power play and penalty kill. If it seems like we’ve kind of shat all over the the Wild lineup to this point, well….that’s probably true. But for all the lack of depth that the roster possesses, they actually have two fairly competent special teams units all things considered.

  • Get Fabulous Like Us: We Have A Store!

    You may have noticed it over the weekend. You may be noticing it now. But look at that menu bar there. The black one. See that tab all the way to the right, next to the search bar? Yep, it’s true, we have an online store!

    We’re doing a presale for some basic items now, just in time for the playoffs! We’ll be adding more and more designs as we go along, but get in now and get decked out in our logo. Hey, there’s going to be a lot of bandwagoners over the next couple months (hopefully), so why not stand out from the crowd and show you’re in the know by wearing our shit? Exactly!

  • Someone Take The Wheel – The Minnehaha Defense And Goalies

    Someone Take The Wheel – The Minnehaha Defense And Goalies

    We’ll move toward the back for the Wild, and this is where the major cracks for them begin to show. The Wild’s blue line corps is kind of like a muffin. Scrape off the tasty top, and you’re left with a flavorless hunk of not much with the rest that you’d really rather just chuck in the trash. At least that’s what I’m told. I don’t eat muffins.

  • Turn On The News – Previewing the Minnesota Wild Forwards

    Turn On The News – Previewing the Minnesota Wild Forwards

    After last night’s three-way tango between the Minnesota, Scum, and Columbus left the Jackets on the outside looking in, the Blackhawks finally have an opponent locked up in the form of the Wild

    In the regular season, the Hawks went 2-0-1 against Minnesota, with the shootout loss coming during the second game of the Hawks’ early season ice capades trip. Much has changed for the Wild’s forward corps even since the Hawks last faced them back on April 9th, where they were shut out.
