As a Swedish Wild fan who'd never been to an NHL game, i loved the NHL global series! Thanks for taking part and hope to see more Wild in europe. I thought the team played well considering the period leading up to it. My travel plans were messed up so i didn't get to visit the experience event in the park but from all the videos, seemed like people were enjoying themselves. Atmosphere around the Globe was great. Met my first Americans (Wild fans too) to and they were super fun during the game but some of the loudest people i've ever met lol.

JoJo had 43 games with one shot or fewer....he was a mainstay on the 2nd line....those could have been valuable minutes for the younger guys like Beckman! what's the deal with that Billy?!

One thing I love about JoJo is that there are not many players in the NHL that have the speed and puck skills to take the puck from zone to zone nearly every time he's asked. He has rarely been the solid point producer year to year that it seems he should be capable of, that is the truth. I could be wrong, but I believe the reason he stays in the lineup , when healthy, is intangible skills he possesses that are just hard to find. He is a complimentary player, and it's sometimes difficult to see the value in a player in that role.

@AlaskanWampa Ай бұрын

@@griffshark ok I will buy that. He can carry into the zone very effectively, that's the first half of the tape. The other half is how laughably easy it is to knock him off the puck once he's in the zone. It's beyond gross. But at the end of the day, it's done...and he has a contract year next year. watch him put up 65 points lol.

Former Wild HC Jacques Lemaire continues to be amazing by offering great, sound advice to GM BG. As a fan, I met him many years ago and he was genuinunely cool and professional overall. Truly miss Lemaire and hoping to seeing him around the NHL for any games or events.

Brodin and Spurgeon have contracts that hurt a lot. Neither have ever had the offensive year Faber had, yet they have big contracts. It's holding the Wild back from acquiring talent. Once Faber's extension gets done in the summer, the Wild will be 1 of only 2 teams (STL) that have 3 defenseman making over 6M a year, and the problem is, Brodin and Spurgeon don't play at the level of their contracts.

2nd oldest and slowest roster. Always over penalized and poor PK. Cmon you came to town professing you would t bring that to our roster

👎 no more long term deals for bottom six Billy or start prepping for an exit interview. Is it about winning or is it about a championship. Whats the mission statement

Spurgeon is small, and plays small. He isn't any different than the rest of the Wild PK guys, he doesn't pick up his man in front of the net. Wild have a tiny roster and most are easy to push around.

@lethalmigraine9009 Ай бұрын

I completely disagree on Chisholm. He's a terrible defender, bad with the puck, doesn't cover his man. He's a liability when he's on the ice.

@lethalmigraine9009 Ай бұрын

Middleton is another guy who is weak defensively, doesn't clear out his man, is a tough guy, but isn't tough to play against, and he's weak with the puck.

@Blacklabs2000 Ай бұрын

What do Zucci, Jojo, Vinni, Rossi, Gaudreau have in common? Too small and not capable of a sustained on the puck forecheck. Plus, they can't create on there own. Too many like that on the team.

Ryan, you're not on Bally's for this interview. The Wild's penalty kill has sucked for the past 3 years and Spurgeon was on all of those Spurgeon's better days are gone. The Wild need to COMPLETELY change their penalty kill mentality and structure. No excuse for a horrible penalty kill year after year after year.

What a Joke Guerin is praising both Jojo and Freddy this year. Come on Dude pull your head out of your rear end they both were absolutely AWFUL if he runs these Clowns back out there again and expects different results then the FAILURE is on the OWNER for letting the GM and Coach be incompetent to the Nth Degree. Everyone w eyes could see these two players were USELESS. 😂😂😂😂

@lethalmigraine9009 Ай бұрын

Guerin doesn't know what he's doing. His drafts have been weak. His trades have been terrible. He keeps handing out terrible contract after terrible contract. And Leipold has made it clear he is just in it for the money. SO the fans end up being left high and dry. No good hockey to watch.

@lethalmigraine9009 Ай бұрын

the roster is most definitely mentally fragile. they fell apart over the dumbest things. Johansson is mentally fragile. Foligno is mentally fragile. Gustavsson admitted to being mentally fragile. Hartman is mentally fragile. Gaudreau is mentally fragile.
