Lucky to get a point. Freddie looks terrible. That shootout goal allowed was atrocious 

Yeah, I'm not sure what exactly he was doing there. Boldy came way too close to him in my opinion and then freddie just randomly dives out almost seeming like he was trying to cover a loose puck...

Jackson Blake, playing in his home town with 80+ friends and family in attendance, puts the team on his back to get the game to OT where he almost completes the hat trick. And, you don't call his number in the shootout?!?

Imagine what that would have meant to a young kid who no one thought would ever sniff the big leagues...

Rods shootout lineup logic is almost always indefensible

There was no chance we were getting one past that guy one on one.

You're probably right.

But, in my head cannon, Jackie's tiny little heart would have willed that puck into the net and the crowd would've erupted into a Storm Surge in his honor, on the road. The refs wouldn't even have continued the shootout after that. They called the game in our favor for pure awesomeness.

If not for stubborn ole Rod!

Even though that result kind of sucked, it was a hell of an effort to preserve that point on the road against the best goaltender we have faced.

It was the Blake vs Wally show, everyone else was just skating... lol

Also completely unrelated.  I don't know what it is, but I really don't like the old North Star scheme that the Wild used last night.  The green and yellow scheme is probably my favorite color scheme in all of sports.  (eg. Packers, Oakland A's).  I know that North Stars look is a classic, but man its ugly.  I don't know how they messed it up.  I guess it's kinda like the Kings purple and yellow uniforms they wore ages ago.  Maybe these colors just aren't meant for hockey lol.

Anyways, here's wonderwall.

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      I agree it is more about the OL. If you happen to have a world beater with a great OL then that’s better obviously but you don’t need to have that.  Capable and durable guys that can get to the second level with good blocking can be plenty.

      I think Gibbs is special, but you’re right, some of the top investments have proven to not be much different than some 2nds and 3rds. Taylor for example is on an MVP level season. James Cook is doing better than Breece Hall for example. Raiders weren’t in a good spot to draft Jeanty. Same with the Falcons/Bijan.  You gotta swing at the right time — the investment shouldn’t come too early. You almost have to stumble into a guy mid to late rounds while building or find that guy to put you over the top when the team is finally well rounded.

      Like I said in another post yesterday, the handling of the offensive line by Fitterer and mostly Morgan has been crazy. We've spent way too much money(Lewis and Hunt) to keep Bryce upright instead of using our picks in the 2nd round on JPJ and Frazier. Could have kept an injured Corbett at guard, Brady at swing, and still taken Maye as a backup, sorry Zavala. We wouldn't have taken XL, but XL hasn't been as advertised anyway, and Brooks hasn't contributed anything. Moton's extension with it's signing bonus made him uncutable. Icky's contract was due at the same time Bryce's 3rd year ended, and we all know it's extension or 5th year, and if we're going to do a 5th year, he's going to want the extension.  To me the whole thing is just ridiculous. Right now, depending on if Tepper decides to keep Bryce, it feels like we're going to have to choose between Icky and a Bryce extension. Maybe he plays on the 5th year, but I think he'll want the big money guarantee.  JMO, but if you took a look at how the contracts could potentially fall, the writing was on the wall that this could be a cash flow nightmare. Too many contract guarantees, not enough rookie contracts to offset the upcoming paydays.
