Because of the current lottery format, the Wolves can be any one of the bottom three teams and it doesn't change the odds of them losing their pick. They can pass Houston and Detroit and it wouldn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad People Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Wild are playing a good game, Nice to see a Wild team score some PP goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a lot of work to do on the PP but glad they're netting a few more lately. Wild are at 10% on the PP and the league average is 20.9%. We're tied with Florida for 13th in Power Play Opportunities with 100, they've netted 26 PPG. We've struggled with the PP these last few years right? Thankfully we're top 5 on the PK.

From what I remember (and I don’t have any stats to back it up just from watching) but it seems like weve always struggled on the PP ever since we got Parise and Suter to sign all those years ago.

Sad People Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 It’s nice to have a pure goal scorer in Kaprizov (I think that’s how you spell his last name) seems like that’s what his game is and that’s what the team has missed for years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Gabby was probably faster in a straight line, but nowhere near the agility on his skates, or the pure stick handling/play making. Wrist shots for both of them were/are nasty.

Worm Guts Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Kaprizov is good, but some of this seems like exaggerated praise for someone who isn't in the top 40 in the NHL in scoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing with no center, on a team that can't connect on the power play will do that to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
