The Wild are looking at turning an abandoned department store in the heart of St. Paul into their practice facility, with options to make it a multi-purpose skating facility:

Dubinsky is such a troll out there. He's apparently told a reporter that during their fight Sid said his wrist hurt and he was tired. Why the hell would anyone say that during a fight?

It's pretty unmanly all right, why did Sid say it

Pretty sure it wasn't actually said.

Nice pic 43, Sid was in a great position to deliver the Valabik to Dubi.

Heh. The earlier one was cropped.

Even the ice girls are laughing.

I'd believe Dubinsky myself. He's always been reliable in the past. He's just lucky Sid didn't punch his nuts. Sid likes to do that...has a documented history

lol I was thinking the same thing about the short Brunette

 

[Cobiemonster]

So maybe this is the Blackhawks move for right now - Scott Darling will come up I guess

Goodbye Antti Raanta

Nick "I'm not an all-star but I play one on TV" Backstrom now leads the race for the Art Ross.

Stay angry, Mr. Backstrom. Stay angry.

Oh mylanta...has he been watching Bylsma highlights?! Seriously, that was one of my big complaints about ol' Danny boy. He was a fourth line grinder/scrub type, and he overvalued those players on his teams. Hence that whole run of Tanner Glass types on the team. Those guys would never get punished/criticized, but if Geno were to make a mistake because of his high risk/high reward moves (at times) it would come down on him. Now I have no idea if DB actually said these things, but even on defense, Bylsma would trot out "shutdown" AKA "immobile" guys while Simon Despres was in AHL.

 

[Cyder]

Because he can't help but complain about shit

So do we have enough of a sample size yet to state that Devan Dubnyk is a pretty good goalie when he has some pretty good defenders in front of him?

he was in a bad place last year ... took a while to get his technique back AND get that Coiler stench off his game ... credit Sean Burke



/also full marks to Zona for A) realizing he was too good to have on their team and B) trading him to one of the last (playoff bubble) teams that was looking for a starting goalie ... so Glendale could stay in tank mode




EDIT: and hey ... do we have enough of a sample size yet to state that Ben Scrivens is a pretty average goalie when he has some pretty bad defenders in front of him? lol
