Interesting Blues/Wild game... granted, I watch so few Wild games I really had no idea who Kirill Kaprizov was, despite his 40+ goals and 90+ points in just his 2nd season. [Reply]

The kid's insane. He's basically the only reason they're competitive. [Reply]

I was definitely hope he'd call the Wild's bluff and head back to Russia.
I don't care for having him in the same division. As though dealing with McKinnon and that infant defenseman that puts up 90 points/season isn't pain in the ass enough.
Kadri being a PPG player at 31 years old after being a 3rd line kind of player pretty much his whole career just annoys the shit out of me. Don't yall have enough already?
"Ha Ha! Now we have some finnish guy we drafted a decade ago who's somehow still only in his mid 20s and he's a 40 goal scorer too!"

Man I had my hopes so high last year. I really thought it would have been a breeze to the cup. This year they look even stronger in every regard. They've made some really good trades to gain every advantage. Trying very hard right now to not get overly excited..... [Reply]

They're better this year, no question. But we won the President's Trophy last year, and it didn't help in the playoffs. It gets real in a couple weeks. :-) [Reply]
