Friday’s skate update

Posted on March 28th, 2008 – 10:36 AM
By Michael Russo

Jam-packed morning down at the X.

– First of all, Mark Parrish, James Sheppard, Matt Foy and Petteri Nummelin are scratches.

Parrish, clearly trying to work his way back into the lineup as a regular (he only played the last two games because of illnesses to P-M Bouchard and Stephane Veilleux) was working off the ice long after I left . 

Sheppard will be a scratch for the first time in his NHL career. He missed the first game because of an immigration problem, the second game because of a paperwork snafu (OK, Wild forgot to put him on the roster by 4 p.m. deadline, but we’ll call it a snafu).

Jacques Lemaire said the decision was twofold — he wants to play Benoit Pouliot and Sheppard must play better. He wants him to take the reins and drive, he said. He also said he thinks Sheppard’s tired. More in tomorrow’s paper.

One thing’s clear: The center is the significant position in Lemaire’s system, and he doesn’t want a 19- AND 21-year-old up the middle in the playoffs. He trusts Pavol Demitra there because of his play down low in the defensive end. So if healthy, it’s going to be Demitra, Koivu, Belanger and Pouliot or Sheppard in the playoffs. That’s my guess.

– Wild skated 13 forwards in the morning skate. Lemaire seemed to intimate that Derek Boogaard, Todd Fedoruk and Chris Simon will all play since they were so effective last week in Vancouver. If that’s the case, Aaron Voros will likely also be scratched as long as Veilleux doesn’t lose his pregame meal in warmups. Sorry if you just lost yours, but that was the best way to make myself clear.

– Roberto Luongo has a new rule where he doesn’t talk to reporters at pregame skates, but he seemed to forget that rule with me as we talked about “the old pesky cats,” and how they finally blew their playoff chances last night after a 7-0-1 streak.

Luongo got on a 7 a.m. flight out of Ft. Lauderdale this morning to make it in time to start tonight against the Wild. His wife, Gina, gave birth to 7-pound, 6-ounce Gabriela last night at 6 p.m. in a Coral Springs hospital. He slept on a hospital bed last night but looked fine.

“Usually when your wife gives birth, you get a little child, you score a goal. I hope he won’t. And if he does, I hope it’s in his net,” quipped Lemaire.

– Lemaire kicked the boys off after 20 minutes today for a pregame meeting. He said it was such a good, hard skate, he wanted them off the ice and not fooling around.

– Colton  Gillies signed a three-year, $2.625 million contract today. He’ll get a signing bonus each year of $87,500. He also signed an amateur tryout with Houston. He will report to the Aeros. As for next season, he will definitely get a chance to earn a roster spot with the Wild. Otherwise, he’ll have to be returned to his junior team in Saskatoon.

– Wild can clinch a playoff berth tonight with a win and a regulation Nashville loss.

The Preds play in Columbus, and not to throw a damper on your pre-party, the Blue Jackets have lost 14 of 15 to their division “rival” (you have to win once in a blue moon to be a rival), and that win was in OT.

Oh, and the Jackets are 3 for their last 66 on the power play.

I have lots of other stuff for you, but “Deep Breath” will have to pay for a newspaper and read tomorrow’s notebook.

so there is someone worse then the wild on the power play

kj says:

March 28th, 2008 at 10:43 am

Actually, the Wild and the playoffs (barring a catastrophic collapse) are a foregone conclusion.

More important is the Preds overtaking the Nuks and bouncing them from the SCP.

Win tonight and good things happen.

Lose tonight and open a can ‘o worms that no one in the SoH wants opened.

GreenStar says:

March 28th, 2008 at 10:47 am

yes, the preds catching the nucks would be sweeeeeeet

BoogieNeedsAGoal says:

March 28th, 2008 at 10:52 am

A win tonight is some mighty good troll repellant….

AustinTXwildfan says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:00 am

kj, if the Wild don’t make it we know who to blame!!

kj says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:01 am

Oh ATX…the pressure!!!

Nowhere did I utter the phrase ‘I have forseen it’… :P

Scotty K says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:08 am

Random thought…I was thinking of the SCP and how cool it is to see a 3 or 4 ot game and stay up late but not care about work the next day and think that the SCP is the best playoffs in all of sport, not even close. I am getting goosebumps just thinking about it.

El Gato says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:09 am

Ah yes, the Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse playing tonight! Let’s put them all on the ice together for 30 seconds, please JL!

AustinTXwildfan says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:11 am

I am kinda hoping for a Dallas/Minnesota matchup at some point in the SCP. Dallas is only 4 hours away, and I have never been to a playoff hockey game. It would be awesome to go.

kj says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:13 am

ATX…my fondest playoff memories are BURIED in Dallas.

Nothing I would like to see more than a 1st round matchup with the South Stars.

WRT…count me in if that were to happen.

Adam says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:14 am

Well I guess the reports of Aaron Vorros’ demise were greatly exaggerated
while the Mark Parrish Suite at Le Chateau BowWow is once again occupied. Hope this also serves as a motivator for Shepp (out) and Benny (in).

AustinTXwildfan says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:16 am

I imagine that Shep is out and Benny is in only due to the matchup. It’s hard to imagine that Shep would be in the dog house.

kj, I hope it does happen. It would be fun. ANd what playoff memories are those kj?

BoogieNeedsAGoal says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:17 am

Line up Boogie, Simon and Fridge against Kessler, Burrows and Cowan

It’d be worth the price of admission right there….

Bill says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:17 am

G* I think we don’t give are powerplay the credit it should get. It is ranked 12th in the league and only a 1% less would put us at 7th or 8th. It would be nice if it was in the top 5 but I can live with 12th.

woodcock says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:18 am

ATX, from previous blog, yes I knew you were kidding. But, I do love baseball for all kinds of reasons–including growing up and listening to the Cardinals on the radio with my dad on warm summer nights. Basketball bores me (too long to end any game and too much focus on the coaches) and football can be ok sometimes but it takes too long because of all the TV timeouts. Now as to fat guys–ever seen the linemen–those are some guts. But back to hockey. It would be sweet to bounce the Canucks. And, to see Burrows crushed in a clean check.

BoogieNeedsAGoal says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:18 am

ATX - plenty of Stars/Blackhawks for me…

SECORD STILL SUCKS!

Dan says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:19 am

Shep could probably use a game off, but I do think its important to get Pouliot as much time as possible.

kj says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:19 am

I think Shepp is going to be this year’s PMB for the playoffs.

IIRC, PMB didn’t see much ice time in the ‘03 playoff run.

AustinTXwildfan says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:22 am

woodcock, that is fair enough. To each his own!

“Line up Boogie, Simon and Fridge against Kessler, Burrows and Cowan”

I want to see that! Crush, Kill, Destroy!

So, did you guys follow the Dallas Stars closely when they first moved? Or was the fact that they moved such a slap in the face that you aborted them instantly?

Wild RoadTripper says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:22 am

kj…the first rule of travel: NOTHING is taken for granted. But, we’ll stay in touch! (remember, Sun Country flies there non-stop, so there’s always a way…)

Ah, yes…all Four Horsemen on the ice tonight, and Brendan Morrison out for the Canucks. Roberto thinking about his new mouth to feed, and Nashville beating (and, beating ON) the Jackets tonight at Nationwide. Win tonight, and they make it all happen, kiddies…

Not too sure I like Shep being a healthy scratch tonight, but if it means another Canuck gets beat-down, I guess that price I can accept!

Adam says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:23 am

ATX - yep, I don’t think Shep is in the dog house. However, I do think JL has noticed that Benny has scored recently while Shep’s last goal was 1/30 and he has a total of 3 As since.

El Gato says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:25 am

I think it’s all going to be tied to matchups on who we see playing. Not as much use for Simon/Boogaard vs Det/Dal/SJ/Col/Nas, so maybe Shep plays C to get Pavol/Benny to wing, more toughness needed for Van/Cal/Ana.

woodcock says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:25 am

Shep can use a break before the playoffs. He has played a lot more than JL ever thought he would.

kj says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:26 am

ATX…Secord Sux. Knocking the defending champ Canadiens out of the playoffs. A playoff road trip to St. Louis. Sweeping the Sabres. Having Murray Bannerman beat us all by himself. Hating Savard, but respecting him. The totally unexpected SCF appearance against the Pens. Seeing the Cup awarded and Mario hoist it for the 1st time. Being interviewed in the parking lot (tailgating) by ESPN. Norm Green being the savior of the franchise…albeit for one season.

My favorite memory though was of the fans. The noise (before video screens TOLD you to cheer). The passion of the playoffs.

Sniff, sniff… :P

Bill says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:27 am

Another thing I just noticed about powerplay rankings 3 teams ahead of us are not going to make the playoffs so of the playoff teams we are in the top 10. Just thought it was interesting. PK is ranked 2.

Dampland says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:30 am

I sure hope Shep doesn’t ride the pine for the playoffs, with Benny Poohbah getting playing time ahead of him.

Shep has busted his butt all season long. If he gets benched for the playoffs, I think it is a travesty!

build from within says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:33 am

Regarding dressing 13 forwards:

Does anyone know how frequently we dressed 13 in the regular season? I’m trying to determine how significant this is, primarily because I thought it (dressing 13) would seem to be a decent way to get b-b-b-benny some PP minutes (i.e. PP specialist). Thoughts?

AustinTXwildfan says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:36 am

From Al Secord’s Wiki… “He is now a pilot with American Airlines. He currently lives in Southlake, Texas.”

Hmmm.. I could find out where he lives and egg his house if you like. That is if Southlake is close enough.

Ryan P. says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:38 am

I don’t think Shepp will get benched for the playoffs. I just don’t think you’ll see many games where Shepp and Benny both suited up. JL’ probably not too keen of playing two kids at the same time come playoff time.

Dampland says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:43 am

I just don’t like the idea of Benny Poohbah (known for being a spoled head case) coming up at the end of the LONG season after spending the entire time underachieving in the AHL. Then James Sheppard who has worked his butt off all year as a freaking 19 year old, gets to eat popcorn and ride the pine in the playoffs.

You’ll end up crushing Shepp’s ego/self worth; while at the same time reinforcing to Benny Poohbah that he doesn’t need to to work hard/excel because he still will get to play with the big boys.

I don’t like it one bit.

Dampland says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:47 am

“SPOILED head case”

build from within says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:48 am

Dampland,

I agree. Shepp’s been a regular contributor and has earned his spot as a regular (as evidenced by the fact that this is his first healthy scratch).

I would be alarmed and disappointed if b-b-b-benny was given Shepp’s minutes, but I’m not entirely sure that this is the case. I think they bring different elements, and I think if b-b-b-benny plays, it will be at the expense of someone elses minutes. Then again, it is JL, so who knows?!

El Gato says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:49 am

Austin, that’s one pilot I probably don’t want to f’ with!

kj, I’ll add in seeing Brian Lawton’s best game as a pro while whitewashing Chicago. My buddy would add ending of the Flyers unbeaten streak at 35 games by shutting them out. The Bannerman stuff still pains me to this day, that was by far the best North Star squad and then Louie pannicked and tore the team apart!

Never interviewed at a game but I was ridiculed inbetween 1st and 2nd periods of game 6 of the 2003 Colorado series by our announcing crew. Was sitting in my seat in the lower bowl wearing my sunglasses since I had laser surgery the previous month and the sun was coming in through the glass facade. Instantly received calls on my cell phone telling me that I was just on TV and the announcers were making fun of me (at least I didn’t have my face covered in ice cream like George Costanza at the US Tennis Open).

GreenStar says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:51 am

bill, since you are looking up stats, please tell me what the pp is since jan 1? and tell me where that ranks?

our pp has been woefully inadequate in recent months. going 4 of 4 or 3 of 5 sure makes a string of 0 for 4’s look good.

kj says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:52 am

El G…that was YOU in ‘03??? :P

Ryan P. says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:53 am

I remember reading at the beginning of the season that DR (I’m not sure if it was JL as well) saying that he wanted Shepp to play in like 40-50 games. I think this scratching of Shepp isn’t a reflection of poor play/poor opinion, just JL finally having the opportunity to sit him out.

I also think JL/DR want to take a look at BP in regards to next season. Once the playoffs start, I think Shepp will play the majority of the games, while Benny mans the popcorn machine.

BoogieNeedsAGoal says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:55 am

ATX - Secord is a pilot for AA???? That’s outstanding. No need to egg his house. If you have a dog, just go have it crap on his front step, that’l do nicely.

G* - Just saw your ‘79 Pirates comment from earlier, 3 words. WE ARE FAMILY…

El Gato says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:57 am

Yeah, and I wasn’t even in my seat for the Park goal, had just got out of the can and was watching on one of the TV’s waiting for a break in the action. Damn beer!

Rob says:

March 28th, 2008 at 11:59 am

tonights roster will be up soon :D

I am concerned about this Parrish situation, I am starting to finally think he is not trying hard or atleast as hard as he should be

BoogieNeedsAGoal says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:00 pm

I think Shepp will see plenty of ice in the SCP. He is strong enough with the puck that he will help in a physical series.

BoogieNeedsAGoal says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:02 pm

I missed it before or maybe the Don added some more, but Gillies signed today and will report to the Aeros. AiH, keep an eye on him for us.

El Gato says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:04 pm

Sweet, that will help with the playoff push for the Aeros!

GreenStar says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:13 pm

nice column on tsn

GreenStar says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:14 pm

also a rumor that jagr is going to talk to some team in the russian league about playing over there after his contract expires.

jagr, you’ll be missed.

Bethany says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:17 pm

Hope my Blue Jackets beat the Preds tonight, I would HATE to see the Preds in the playoffs. And, I want the Avs in the playoffs so the Jackets get that second first rounder.

AustinTXwildfan says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:20 pm

Bethany, we are all BJ’s fans tonight.

Dave (fDiM) says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:21 pm

Rob,

I know you don’t know me very well and I understand that I may have to gain your trust and work my way into the lineup, but can I at least be on the roster?

Dave (fDiM) says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:21 pm

I’m a BJ fan.

GreenStar says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:24 pm

Bethany, we are all BJ’s fans tonight.

hell yeah

kj says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:26 pm

Dave…how could you not?

Ash says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:27 pm

Wow finally a bandwagon everyone can jump on! Everyones a BJ fan!

Voice of Reason says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:27 pm

I’m not concerned about the Shep/B-B-B-Benny issue like some of you are. Yes, Shep has been here the whole season and B-B-B-Benny just showed up. All I care about is winning. I don’t see JL rewarding Benny for underachieving in Houston or being a headcase. I see him putting the best guys out there to win games. I’m also not worried about Shep losing confidence, because I’m sure that JL talked to him about sitting and will make damn sure it doesn’t affect his ego.

As to Benny “underperforming” or “being a headcase” I don’t see it. Different players respond to situations differently. Some people crumble under pressure and need to build their confidence slowly, others excel under pressure, and other people simply play up or down to their situation. So I wouldn’t use his Houston performance as a barometer as much as how he plays against the competition now.

WildFan says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:28 pm

I want to see Pouliot in the lineup because i think he’s done a very good job since being called up, but why does that need to come at the expence of Sheppard? I just dont get it… JL has other options, move Demo back to the wing (where he wants to be) and let Pouls/Shep both play center. OR if JL is SO against moving Demo back to the wing, why not move Pouls back to the wing and keep Demo/Shep at center?

I just dont get it.

Big D of Farmtown says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:31 pm

The run in 81 is a distant memory, the one in 91 still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. In 91., Nanny had moved up a step or two and it was that Philly guy (I can’t remember his name )who built that team. We were up 2 games on the Pens and then they swept the rest. That sucked because out of nowhere the team jelled and made a great run. They knocked out a solid Chicago team, dismantled Hull and Oats, and took

Damps comments – I agree with but what if Shep has hit the wall? He doesn’t seam to have the same energy as he did earlier in the season. Maybe JL is letting Shep sit a game or two to get re-charged. I am hoping this is the case.

Dave (fDiM) says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:32 pm

WildFan,

My impression is that Shepp probably just needs a break. I think he’s played more than they planned on playing him, at least based on some of the things the coaches were saying earlier in the year. I don’t think his sitting out one game is any cause for concern and will not prove to be a detriment to his development.

Then again, what do I know? I just watch hockey on TV.

sunshine says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:39 pm

If we are skating 13 forwards, does this mean there will be only 5 D for tonight?

Or is Russo saying that 13 forwards is skating practice but we will be going with 6 D, 12 F?

Someone help me understand this.

Rob says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:40 pm

lol, Bertuzzi is suing Marc Crawford

http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/story/2008/03/28/bertuzzi-crawford.html

sorry if posted

Bill says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:46 pm

G* I couldn’t figure out how to break it down just back to Jan.1,. Looking at some of the other teams ahead of us in the PP%. They seem to get more of the 3 of 6 and 2 of 4 but still get the 0 of 4 and 0 of 6 like we do. It was also interesting to see that 12 of the top 20 PK teams are from the west and 8 of the top 10 PP teams are from the east. I think this makes a big difference in the rankings by how little the east plays the west.

El Gato says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:49 pm

Big D-Bobby Clarke?

kj says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:50 pm

I love it!!! Bertuzzi is blaming someone else for his action.

Only in Americ…oops…Canada!

GreenStar says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:53 pm

thanks bill. my point is rankings don’t mean shat. i still say there have been many a game where our pp was putrid and if it worked even a little bit, we would be watching who the 6th seed would be and not fighting for the 3 seed.

Ex-Drummer says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:55 pm

Thanks for the laugh, Rob!

Ryan P. says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:56 pm

I kind of feel for Bertuzzi at this point. I know he ended Steve Moore’s career and he should pay some sort of settlement for that, but he just keeps on getting dragged through the mud.

I think he’s playing hockey right now to pay for all the legal fees. I think the joy of the game has been taken away from him and that’s punishment enough.

Kevin in PA says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:57 pm

G* - yes, power play rankings mean very little. At the risk of again talking about non-Wild stuff, the Pens’ PP is ranked third or fourth but I don’t think they’ve gotten a PP goal in 5 of the last 6 games. But they can go 3 for 5 one night, 2 for 4 the next, then 0 for the next 17. I think all PPs are real streaky.

(And sorry for turning the last thread into baseball; it was midnight and no one else was around though! And yes, the Pirates’ last WS win was ‘79, no winning seasons since ‘92)

And uh.. Go Wild!

MSG says:

March 28th, 2008 at 12:58 pm

thanks for the link Rob

March 28th, 2008 at 12:58 pm

Even if Crawford said make him ‘pay the price’, how do you interpret that to mean:

Tackle him from behind while sucker punching him and drive his skull into the ice?

Moron. I hope he never smiles again.

Wild'n'NH says:

March 28th, 2008 at 1:00 pm

ATX, I think you’ve hit on the name for the Boogey, Simon and Fridge line… “CRUSH!, KILL!, DESTROY!”

Even CKD has a nice ring to it.

I would LOVE to see Boogey Fridge and Simon on a faceoff with Kessler, Cowan and Burrows. Let the Line Brawl Begin!!!!!!

Dampland says:

March 28th, 2008 at 1:00 pm

Ryan P.

I’ve got NO sympathy for Bertuzzi.

He is responsible for his actions.

“the joy of the game has been taken away”

first of all - I’d guess that at least 50% of the pros don’t play for the love of the game, they play for the $$$ MONEY $$$

and secondly, I wonder how much “joy” Moore is getting out of hockey since he was Bertuzzi-ed?

Kevin in PA says:

March 28th, 2008 at 1:01 pm

Here’s a sorta funny Bertuzzi story: I picked him up in one fantasy league when my team was about 3 points out of first. I won the rest of that week (It was just two days left) then lost the next three weeks, including two blowouts. I dropped him and won the last four to close the season.

Picking him up ruined my fantasy chemistry/karma!

Ryan P. says:

March 28th, 2008 at 1:01 pm

I just want to clarify that I don’t think Bertuzzi’s suit has any merit, as kj says, but I just kind of wish this legal mess could get settled out of court or something. It’s been 5 years already.

Eddie Shore says:

March 28th, 2008 at 1:02 pm

Agreed, I don’t feel sorry for Bergoonie in any way, shape, or form.

March 28th, 2008 at 1:04 pm

F Bertuzzi! (Nice job stirring the pot, Ryan!) Kevin: Same thing happened when I picked up Henrik Sedin on my team this year, thankfully I dropped him in time to right the ship.

Bill says:

March 28th, 2008 at 1:06 pm

G* I agree we just can’t have so many 0 of 4 we need to get at least 1 when we get 3,4 or 5 chances on PP a game.

Kevin in PA says:

March 28th, 2008 at 1:08 pm

I’ve got a couple other players not too popular with Russoville but none with such drastic effects as Bertuzzi. F Bertuzzi!

El Gato says:

March 28th, 2008 at 1:09 pm

So, when does LA play Anaheim again? Crawford: ‘He wants to sue me, make him pay the price!’

Ryan P. says:

March 28th, 2008 at 1:11 pm

LA played Anaheim for the last this time this season this past Wednesday.

Kevin in PA says:

March 28th, 2008 at 1:14 pm

Looks like Russo gave DB a little shot!

AustinTXwildfan says:

March 28th, 2008 at 1:16 pm

“ATX, I think you’ve hit on the name for the Boogey, Simon and Fridge line… “CRUSH!, KILL!, DESTROY!”

I think someone else may have come up with that one first, but I am not sure. But now that you mention it, which one is which? Crush = Fedoruk, Kill = Boogie, Destroy = Simon??

Kevin in PA says:

March 28th, 2008 at 1:19 pm

Kill would be more appropriate to Simon I think…

AustinTXwildfan says:

March 28th, 2008 at 1:20 pm

Okay Kevin, that is a good point. So, Crush = Fedoruk, Kill = Simon, and Destroy = Boogie. I like it!

El Gato says:

March 28th, 2008 at 1:22 pm

Ryan P., there in lies the timing of the lawsuit! He certainly wouldn’t file suit if they still had a game vs each other. Coward!

woodcock says:

March 28th, 2008 at 1:23 pm

We are not all BJ’s fans tonight as I want to see the Preds beat out the Canucks. So we win tonight and the Preds win tonight. That would be fine with me. I am not worried about us not making the playoffs–just where we finish.

Ryan P. says:

March 28th, 2008 at 1:25 pm

Well played El Gato. I give you kudos for that punch line.

Adam says:

March 28th, 2008 at 1:27 pm

Roberto Luongo has a new rule where he doesn’t talk to reporters at pregame skates, but he seemed to forget that rule with me as we talked about “the old pesky cats,” and how they finally blew their playoff chances last night after a 7-0-1 streak.

Funny how a few weeks ago all the naysayers were positive that the Wild wouldn’t even make the playoffs. Now they’ve shifted to they have no chance once in the playoffs. Guessing that soon, after the Wild win their first series that the pessimists will be saying they won’t go any further in the playoffs, never win a Cup, and so on and so on. Why do so many people just choose to be negative all the time?

You give Getzlaf too much credit if you think he can type in coherent sentences. He also has a major bald spot for a 22 year old.

I actually just wish all this legal stuff with Bertuzzi would go away (not that he shouldn’t pay a cash settlement to the Moore family or that he didn’t do anything wrong). I just think it’s bad for the game that this case is still lingering around and that it’s getting worse with him suing Crawford now.

Marty S says:

March 28th, 2008 at 2:35 pm

If JL is resting Sheppard, that’s one thing. If he thinks Sheppard is not a top 12 forward on this squad then we need a new coach. Sheppard is so strong in the corners and good with the stick. I think he is a MUCH better defender than Dmitra…even with the age difference.

If Crosby was drafted by the Wild he probably would have played on our checking line for the first two years and would be scratched every other week as part of JL’s mind games.

Here’s the forward lineup I would go with:

Demo, Koivu, Gabby
Rolston, Belanger, Bouchard
Veilleux, Sheppard, Radio
Fridge, Pouliot, Boogard/Simon/Parrish/Foy/Voros

If we needed to play tough, I would use Boogie or Simon for the final spot. If we needed someone to skate around aimlessly and never hit anyone, Parrish would get the nod. Foy and Voros would never see the ice.

I would only sit Pouliot if we needed to be really tough and wanted both Boogie and Simon in the lineup.

HockeyGuy81 says:

March 28th, 2008 at 2:46 pm

I like those lines.

sunshine says:

March 28th, 2008 at 2:47 pm

I can understand JL’s concerns with utilizing Shep and Pouliot during the playoffs but he needs to test running with four lines with Demitra at the wing.

We need it if we want to have four lines deep. I thought during the Oilers game, Shep, Voros, and Fedoruk did a great job in keeping the puck in the offensive zone.

Hockeydad says:

March 28th, 2008 at 2:48 pm

Why does everyone assume JL plays “mind games” when he decides to sit guys? Can it not just be that a player isn’t playing well in his view or that he likes other match-ups better? Saying it’s only because of “mind games” almosts suggests he does it out of spite.

El Gato says:

March 28th, 2008 at 2:49 pm

At least the Wild doesn’t need TV stations to buy out remaining tickets to get a sellout!

‘Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life young man!’

Hockeydad says:

March 28th, 2008 at 2:57 pm

Vikings fans are, generally speaking, morons (and I own Vikings season tix).

I would guess that Viking player salaries probably generate more income tax revenue for MN than do income taxes from Wild salaries. However, the Wild draw more than 800,000 fans over 44 nights (playoffs excluded), while the Vikings only about 620,000 or so over 10 dates (not counting 1 or 2 playoff games per decade). How much more sales tax do you think Wild fans generate compared to Purple fans?

BoogieNeedsAGoal says:

March 28th, 2008 at 2:57 pm

BNAG Hill scored the other night, I am expecting you to get one now or atleast beating up on the Twin Sisters (Sedins)

If I crush Burrows or Kessler, does that count too?

Good call putting G* back in between the groins, I’ve heard Mike is well aquainted with rubbing groins, so he should be great in that capacity.

Marty S says:

March 28th, 2008 at 2:57 pm

Hockeydad, JL sat Parrish against Florida after he had been playing. He sat Voros against New Jersey after he had been playing. Both were former teams…games that he players really wanted to be in. I guess those could be coincidences and the matchups were better with someone else. When it happens so often, it makes me believe they are mind games.

I 100% believe that a lot of the line juggling is mind games. He punishes Gabby and Demo by not letting them play together, IMO.

Speaking of line juggling, did anyone catch his press conference the other day where he said that Radio has a better chance to score with Gabby and Demo because he has played with them so much? Why no reporter in the room asked the follow question “do you think other players would score more if they had familiar linemates” is beyond me…

Wild'n'NH says:

Bill says:

March 28th, 2008 at 3:07 pm

If JL is such a bad coach why did he win a SC with the Devils and why do the majority of the teams in the league use the system he started in NJ? I’ve also never heard a player that has been here complain about JL as being a bad coach or one that plays mind games.

I’m paired with Terhaar! Wow, ok, let me practice.

The puck is dropped at center ice, Simon wins the draw and then levels Burrows with a clean check to the head, and throat.

Fedoruk picks up the loose puck and skates into the ‘Nucks zone,stepping on Kesler as he crossed the blue line, he lets loose a blistering slap shot that catches Luongo alongside the side of his head and bounces out into the slot.

Boogaard has recovered from kneeing Ohland in the head, and slaps in the rebound for a WILD goal at 12 seconds of the first period.

Marty S says:

March 28th, 2008 at 3:23 pm

I don’t think JL is bad coach…it’s just that some of his quirks annoy me. Specifically:
- line juggling
- poor use of timeouts
- refusing to pull the goalie if he doesn’t think the guys are playing well (another mind game IMO…message to players: “if you aren’t going to play well, I’m not even going to pull the goalie”)

There are many good things about JL but I wonder if he is better suited to coach a young team that doesn’t have much talent.

As for not hearing players complain, I think they vote with their feet. I will be shocked if we are ever able to sign a high scoring free agent while JL is coach.

Dampland says:

March 28th, 2008 at 3:43 pm

Welcome back to the 3rd period with the MN Wild leading the ‘Nucks 13-0.

THe WILD have scored early and often in this game, with hat tricks by, Radio, SRV and Derek Boogaard. PMB, Gabby and Koivu are tied with 4 assists each.

The WILD penalty kills just finished off back to back penalties on Rolston and Skoula for boarding.

While the checks were legal and the players were hit in the chest, the refs felt that the checks were just too physically aggressive by Rolston and Skoula.

After pulling both Luongo and Sanford from the net, the Canucks have dressed Mattius Ohland in the goalie pads to start the 3rd period.

Glancing down at the bench for the WILD, it appears that Mikko Koivu has a huge smile across his face.

Dave (fDiM) says:

March 28th, 2008 at 3:44 pm

Forsberg was recently quoted as saying, “Once I decided I was going to play, there was only one team” (the Avs) or something like that. We never had a chance.

Bill says:

March 28th, 2008 at 3:47 pm

Marty, Have you ever heard any reports on players not wanting to play for JL? I think the type of player the Wild want is someone that is a two way player not just high scoring offense only type of guy. Players like Rolston who work hard in both ends of the rink and can play on PP and PK are what they want. There isn’t to many of those guy’s out there but that’s what I think would be good in are system. I don’t have a problem with the goalie pulling situations. He said if we can’t control the puck in the offensive zone what is the point in pulling the goalie. I agree with that. I also think the line juggling is a two way street. The other team has to try and match against our lines more than we do against there lines. Meaning we can have multiple types of lines vs. a team that just uses a offensive line or a defensive line.

woodcock says:

March 28th, 2008 at 3:52 pm

Well of course Spree blew it because he didn’t sign and then he stunk and couldn’t get a big contract–but he did say it was to feed his family–which he apparently couldn’t do or so he said on the multi-millions the Woofies were going to pay.

BoogieNeedsAGoal says:

March 28th, 2008 at 3:53 pm

Koivu fires a slapshot on net from just outside the CREASE and appears to have struck Ohlund in the Twig and Berries. We’ll head to a break as Ohlund is tended to by the ‘Nuk trainer.

Adam says:

March 28th, 2008 at 3:57 pm

Dave (fDiM) - not to belabor it but a.) after Forsberg signed, I think he wanted to avoid answering all questions about who was close, etc., and b.) I would guess the Wild and other teams were in it until Forsberg annonced he was not ready to play. When things changed a bit latter, I think he only wanted to do a 1 year deal in a familiar setting. I mean, he reportedly left a multi-year deal in the neighborhood of $10 million with the Hawks. Not sure if that was ever confirmed but the point is he likely would have signed a greater commitment if his fitness was where he wanted it to be.

Again, IMO, Marty’s point that JL hinders FA signings will largely be proven one way or another in-house with Gabby this summer. And, thinking of it now, I believe it was reported that Blake and Jovo both said no thanks to the Wild the year the Wild ended up with Johnsson. However, I am not if it was ever clear if it was JL, the Wild, other opportunities, etc. for the Heisman from those players.

Dave (fDiM) says:

It will be interesting to see where we stand on FA signings. We are probably more attractive than a few years ago because we have built up a stronger young corps of players (remember when we signed Johnsson we were a newer franchise) and MN is a good hockey town (altho some will prefer the warm weather).

March 28th, 2008 at 4:23 pm

YES!! I get to play between the groins!!! That doesn’t sound so good all of a sudden…. Can’t I just drive the Zamboni again? Don’t tell the Mr which line I’m on, he’ll be jealous, although if I join the Slovakian Mafia maybe production will go up…. again sounded better until I saw it typed out… work was brutal, no internet today so I missed all the fun didn’t I?

slapshot6 says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:26 pm

So you’ll be going to the game tonight then Banggeek? ;)

kj says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:26 pm

yeah bandgeek…we slogged on without ya… :)

I get to manage equipment.

Only one job worse than that…

Bill says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:26 pm

SCSU 1 Clarkson 1 4:30 2nd

March 28th, 2008 at 4:28 pm

Band, if you’re playin’ between the groins, watch out for G*, ahem, giving his physical therapy to their groins.

Adam says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:29 pm

- Bill - keep the updates coming, you are way ahead of the CSTV game tracker - Thanks!

- Dave, will do on the name change, I suggest dropping the “(fDiM)” for playoff time!

Bandgeek says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:33 pm

No I won’t be at the X, so I’m not sure how good I’ll do at center. Maybe if I make “I’m gonna yack” faces at the other person in the face off I can win a few of them…

To all those going to the X scream extra loud for me and thats an order. I just don’t think the boys can hear me from S. St. Paul. My only remaining regular season game is the final home game, my friend works for Xcel and got free corporate tickets, I have no clue where they are but I get to go for free so what do I care what seat I’m in?

Bill says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:35 pm

SCSU 1 Clarkson 1 end of 2.

Adam I’m off to Wild game on your own now.

Bandgeek says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:35 pm

kj I thought you’d be singing the anthems? Or did you mess up O’ Canada the other night and got booted?

slapshot6 says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:36 pm

Hopefully ‘da boys give us plenty to yell about….

kj says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:38 pm

I got moved.

They must have thought I would sing:

God keep our land
Burrows and Kesler free

Bandgeek says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:39 pm

Well at least as equipment manager you get to be at the bench and not eating pop corn.

GreenStar says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:40 pm

i’ll be there as usual.

bandgeek, if i am working the groins then anything playing between them is fair game. just wanted to warn ya ahead of time.

Hockeydad says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:40 pm

Bandgeek, I am going to go out on a limb and guess that tickets held by Xcel Energy are going to be good seats.

GreenStar says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:41 pm

i personally like the version of o canada with the french in it. that cat at corel center is the best, hands down.

Hockeydad says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:41 pm

Hockeydad’s left to eat popcorn again, huh?

Rob - stop it with the mind games. You know how much I would like to play against the Nucks.

slapshot6 says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:42 pm

What section Green*? 114?

Bandgeek says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:42 pm

G* I have a mean left hook, and know what a knee is for, just wanted to warn you ahead of time.

kj says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:44 pm

Hockeydad…

No mind games. Rob is just putting the best people into position to help the team win.

I’ll take mine with lots o’ butter and salt… :P

Bandgeek says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:44 pm

Hockeydad when I asked my friend he said something about just up from the penalty boxes, but not how far up, and not whether they were off to the side or center ice… I guess I’ll find out on the 3rd.

GreenStar says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:45 pm

just doing my job bandgeek. i didn’t ask for it

114, ss6

Bandgeek says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:47 pm

Now that I think about it, it’s probably a good thing we didn’t get girls hockey till after I destroyed my knee and couldn’t skate anymore. In case you haven’t noticed, I have a bit of a violent streak. I would have spent a lot of time in the sin bin.

Rob says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:49 pm

hockeydad, look parrish has not played well since the new kiddo came and since your a dad, you need to take a step back and ask yourself do you want to be a hockey player or a person that comments on russo’s blog? get your stuff together and you will be back quicker then Alexander Daigle slapshot

slapshot6 says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:56 pm

Wow, it is tough to be a regular skater on the team…..

Hockeydad says:

March 28th, 2008 at 4:58 pm

lol, Rob.

Rob says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:00 pm

:) it’s all in good fun and I am done if we lose another game, but I dont think thats going to happen

Adam says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:04 pm

FYI - SCSU is down 2-1 in GameTracker time - 4:58 left - http://www.ncaa.com/icehockey-mens/default.aspx?id=284

Kevin in PA says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:09 pm

So I’m seriously about to start Price and Ellis as my two fantasy goalies tonight, leaving Brodeur on the bench.

More on how much of a colossal IDIOT I am later.

pieMcKenzie says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:09 pm

To Mike (not that Mike): Crush Kill Destroy didn’t originate with the Simpsons but was from an old Lost in Space Episode.

Rob says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:12 pm

bench ellis, i’m telling you brodeur will get a win…

Kevin in PA says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:14 pm

I’m considering it, but I sure like Ellis’ matchup. I’ll be debating this up until about 6:55.

Beadwench says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:14 pm

Bandgeek - as an FYI: most girls hockey doesn’t allow checking or fighting. Neither did ringette (spelling?) which was all that was available when I was in school.

Hockeydad says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:15 pm

Wow, it is tough to be a regular skater on the team…..

Tell me something I don’t know.

Big D of Farmtown says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:16 pm

Boys and Girls - Have fun at the X tonight. I wish i could be there but duty calls.

Crush Kill Destroy better make sure the slovaks got room to roam because I think Lou is ripe for letting in some softies

l8r

Dave (fDiM) says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:22 pm

I’m facing a similar dilemma, Kevin. Something about that matchup with Buffalo makes me a little leery about Price. I just have a bad feeling about it. The Sabres have been scoring in bunches lately, and it’s in Buffalo.

I never bench Brodeur. He won’t always get you a win, but he’ll hardly every hurt you and a SO is always possible. Ellis seems like a safe play.

Dave (fDiM) says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:24 pm

That should say “hardly EVER hurt you” of course.

Kevin in PA says:

Last time I had this problem I benched price and he shut out brodeur. I agree on the never sit brodeur. 5 straight losses has me reconsidering this once

St Cloud goes down again and I’m out of scotch.

Hopefully Pouliot can go tonight because I have to pull myself out of the lineup.

Not sure if Gillies is going to play tonight for the Aeros but I’ll bring the camera. I’ll get some photos and video to share if he suits up.

I wonder if Jim gets the cowboy message?

Jim says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:48 pm

The wild are DIRTY SONS OF BITCHES FUCKING FAGGOTS BASTARD CUNTS!!!!!!!!!

Assistant Aeros coach Troy Ward had this to say about Gillies:

“Utilize his skating and his size and his speed a little bit and allow him to create some friction for the other team with his speed”

He is also happy about having Gillies and Gajic at this time when they play 8 straight on the road with back to backs and even a three games in three nights stretch.

For you college hockey fans out there, Maine goalie Ben Bishop is playing for the Peoria Riverman, the Aeros opponent tonight. And yes, I will be sure to ask him why he isn’t in the NCAA tournament. Although that stings me a little with SCSU going down today.

Jim says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:49 pm

VANCOUVER WILL WIN THE CUP, write that down bitches!

paulr says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:50 pm

So do you guys think that Luongo will be a little shaky tonight? Maybe some slumping scorers will take advantage of the situation? Or maybe some players on a tear will keep it going? *Branko*

paulr says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:51 pm

I’m pretty sure Vancouver isn’t going to win the cup…

Adam says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:51 pm

Wow it would suck to be a Canucks fan on so many levels. Almost sad. Almost.

Beadwench says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:51 pm

The odd thing is the server isn’t shutting him down, plus the fact the swear words are all in english and not even creative english. If he was a Canucks fan, I would expect an occasional non-english swear word.

paulr says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:53 pm

haha… odd coincidence… the swear word he’s using rhymes with the Canucks… hahaha…’Nuck you! haha

“Usually when your wife gives birth, you get a little child, you score a goal. I hope he won’t. And if he does, I hope it’s in his net,” quipped Lemaire.

Too bad that didn’t work for Parrish.

Aaron in Houston says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:55 pm

When asked how to pack for a 14 day road trip Aeros player Shawn Belle responded by saying, “I’ll bring an extra pair of underwear.”

Ms.Conduct says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:55 pm

Yep, sounds to me like he’s gonna be in tonight. Really looking forward to seeing the new kid.

Jim says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:55 pm

I wish i could assasinate Gaborik that little faggot!!!!!!!!

Kirk Wise says:

March 28th, 2008 at 5:59 pm

Hilarious AiH.

Beadwench says:

March 28th, 2008 at 6:05 pm

At least Belle is remembering underwear. I don’t want to think about the number of times I’ve needed to buy underwear while on a trip for the husband. He’d remember everything except underwear and socks.

Good old Wally says:

March 28th, 2008 at 6:10 pm

Hard to believe that Jim could crack in with a message like that on the Star and Tribune Wild Rant. Must have been a malfunction or Jim is a computer genius. One thing Jim is not is a hockey genius. The Canucks are to stupid to make a Stanley Cup run. I see them slipping next year further down out of the playoffs, and I am a Hockey Genius Jim !

Beadwench says:

March 28th, 2008 at 6:14 pm

Do we have a bouncer to go with the barkeep?

Midwest Product says:

March 28th, 2008 at 6:17 pm

So do you guys think that Luongo will be a little shaky tonight?

Would we be able to tell the difference from an ordinary Canucks/Wild game if he was? I honestly would be more worried about seeing Curtis Sanford start tonight.

paulr says:

March 28th, 2008 at 6:19 pm

Well my only thought is that he may be a little off his game tonight - what with the new bundle of joy. He might be off focus. Hopefully the boys in red can take advantage if he is. If Sanford starts… well… it’ll be a game either way I suppose.

Good old Wally says:

March 28th, 2008 at 6:21 pm

DR might have really messed up getting Sean Belle for a second round pick. Not much to be proud of with that young man. Belle in not giving the Wild any return on investment. Does he ever play like he has some potential Aaron from Houston ?

Bandgeek says:

March 28th, 2008 at 6:35 pm

Poor Kimmy, his English isn’t so good.

Midwest Product says:

March 28th, 2008 at 6:51 pm

We’re getting close to game time, any chance we could get some fresh thread?

Bandgeek says:

March 28th, 2008 at 6:56 pm

Nicks going to be mad at me, a troll got in while I was making supper. Good thing he was a moron and everyone more or less ignored him.

I agree MP time for a game thread.

Jim says:

Kirk- I say probably Cowan and maybe Willie-Boy.

I see the parade to the sin-bin has begun. Gotta stop that or we will run out of gas…
