  1. Yeah, that whole PDO thing and the Wild........they were really good at it again last night. .950 sv% and 12.5 sh%. My kingdom for a goaltender!!
  2. I sense an increase in Grizzly bear crossings across the Northern border.
  3. Boudreau is a great coach.......I'm jealous, that might be motivating me
  4. Oh I'm aware that the Wild are one of the better teams in the league when it comes to preventing high danger shots (guess what though, so are the Jets). They are also clearly not a high volume shot team, which can also play a part in their shot differentials. I don't watch them on a regular basis so context is definitely lacking when in relation to the eye test. I think of all the things going for them, Dubnyk's play is least likely to regress, although I can't see him maintaining .936, but at some point their sh% is going to drop, they aren't headed for a 12 year league wide high sh% imo, which will effect their GF%. CF% is far from a complete way of analyzing things, but it's pretty rare for bottom 3rd teams in that area to have long term success through the playoffs. High danger zone or not, they have to get their shot generation up a bit imo.
  5. I'll get a chance to see the Wild live in person tomorrow night, looking forward to it. I think the Wild are a good team but personally think they are overachieving a bit, their underlying metrics are going to be pretty hard to sustain. Obviously Dubs is Dubs, he's the biggest factor in the Wild being where they are, but between a .936 sv% and a 10.10 sh%, something has to give at some point. Their advanced shot metrics currently sit 24th in the league.
  6. Thought Springs play was good today, he scored some important points with the Gophers struggling. Mason was good, Coffey was good. Lucky neither team could shoot in the 1st half, Gophers were awful from the field. Lynch was the main key, great game by him and stayed out of foul trouble.
  7. Congratulations!
  8. This administration hasn't even faced a crisis yet. It's truly terrifying to consider how poorly they will handle one, given the level of incompetence they've shown in the absence of one so far.
  9. Disgraceful.
  10. No, certainly not isolated, like I said this type of sentiment exists pretty much everywhere. I think the difference to me is the level of Nationalist sentiment In America right now that helped bring a guy like Trump to power.It's not a coincidence that this type of act happened in Quebec, Quebecers are historically very nationalistic people, but the vast majority of Canada is not. As a country we are only a year removed from emphatically rejecting the type of leadership that Trump espouses, which I'm glad for.
  11. Let's go with both.
  12. Of course Canada has issues, there is no country that is immune to these type of attitudes and acts of violence. What will be important is the reaction moving forward, and I guarantee the reaction will not be to turn our backs on the people who truly look towards countries like Canada for safety and refuge. Policies like the one enacted by Trump only embolden people who act like this, it serves as validation. Fear and ignorance is not solved by fear and ignorance.
  13. I like our guys tweets better. @ Justin Trudeau ‏@JustinTrudeau 1h1 hour ago More To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada
  14. Better stock up in the Tequila America, for more than a few reasons.
  15. I can show you how that works if you like.
  16. Is this the draining of the swamp part, or the falling into the abyss part? Hard to tell.
  17. Over the course of 4 years this is exactly what it will seem like. In your dreams this is going to flash before your eyes.
  18. The next 4 years
  19. Umm, this is supposed to be something we didn't already know?
  20. I'll never understand people's obsession with Apple Pie. Most overated pie in history, sorry America.
  21. Tough one, they need to pull out a win and get feeling good again. Not the end of world, Wisconsin is a good team, would have been a big boost to beat them. Reggie Lynch needs to stop fouling out of games, cost the Gophers late.
  22. The only Taco Bells here are joint ventures with KFC, they share the same restaurant. This chalupa thing looks like a different spin on that sandwich KFC brought out a couple of years ago, with the 2 pieces of chicken as the bun. Can't remember what was called, the defibrillator? Something like that. Never had one, won't be having the Mexican version either.
  23. Personally I thought the Gophers were on a bit of an unsustainable run, they were due for some fall back. You're going to have nights like this, especially on the road. Coffey definitely needs to be more aggressive driving the lane, especially when the team is shooting this poorly. It will turn around again.
  24. MSU had a slow start to the season and weren't helped by Miles Bridges getting hurt. With him healthy, watch out, they are going to make noise. Gophers will bounce back.
