The unthinkable has happened. Judd’z Budz commenters have flipped from burning Stramel at the stake to saying he’s better than Yurov @SpokedZ @MNWildTalk @mnwprospects

#mnwild: Some chatter about the drought from the Boldy/Ek/Tarasenko line. Over the last 6 games when Kaprizov/Rossi/Johanssom have seemingly been scoring at will, 12-14-91 have just 1 5v5 goal in about 41 minutes together.
That said, they’ve been tasked with shutting down the top line in every game in each of those 6 games and have allowed just 2 goals against in those same minutes.
Tough to match up analytics perfectly, but my estimate is roughly 55-60% of their 5v5 minutes each game have been against these lines:
Mammoth: Schmidt/Keller/Schmaltz - 1 GA
Sharks: Celebrini/Smith/Toffoli - 0 GA
Jets: Connor/Vilardi/Scheifele - 1 GF
Penguins: Crosby/Rust/Hallander - 1 GA
Canucks: Boeser/Kane/Pettersson - 0 GA
Predators: Forsberg/O’Reilly/Evangelista - 0 GA
They have a 42% xG share in that time frame, so not dominating those lines, but to hold those 18 forwards to just 2 5v5 goals across 6 games is pretty darn good.
Will be interesting to see if this changes when Johansson likely joins Boldy and Ek on Friday on the Island.
I imagine a players only meeting is happening tonight #mnwild
I think it would behoove Hynes to try and conform the linemates and system to how Kaprizov plays the game, as opposed to limiting their superstar. Boldy and Rossi kept up just fine #mnwild
“You’re not always thinking, ‘Less is more. You’re thinking, ‘Help the team.’”
The #mnwild don’t need Kirill Kaprizov to be Superman. They just need him to be more like himself. On cutting down costly turnovers + superstar’s role in ending team’s slide

Marco Rossi and Marcus Foligno (both playing through injury) have been on the ice for 8 out of the last 10 goals against. #mnwild
Replying to @jackson_boline
Well he’s been hurt, so I wonder if that’s been impacting him or not. Spurgeon is the one that’s concerning to me
I'd hope the Wild at least consider bringing up Ohgren and Olausson in place of Foligno(hurt) and Pitlick for Thursday #mnwild
This, but with Liam Ohgren, Danila Yurov, David Jiricek, Carson Lambos, Hunter Haight, and probably soon to include Oskar Olausson #mnwild
What the #mnwild lines should be based on xGF%
97-23-12 (xGF 65%)
17-14-38 (xGF 86%) 2023-24
90-22-91 (xGF 58%)
13-39-19 (xGF 86%)
I don't think this needs to be as difficult as we are making it

Plenty of 🏆 stories, joining @utahmammoth, and a NSFW prank from his #VegasBorn days 😳
@JoeSmithNHL also hits all the angles of the #mnwild road trip
Pretty much any option would be better than this route, waste of cap space and draft capital during a pivotal window over the next few years #mnwild
