@B_Marsh92 We saw in the playoffs how critical Brodin is to what the Wild do on defense. Losing him without a replacement seriously hurts what this team does defensively.
@RussoHockey@JoeSmithNHL@nytimes I'm so tired of the TNT broadcast continually repeating, "He's the best defender in the league, not named Makar."
I'm hoping Hughes dominates the Avs, so maybe they'll stop calling him "Not Makar" and start being able to talk about him without mentioning Makar.
@RussoHockey Can someone do some research and tell me how many times a puck over glass penalty in OT ends up being the deciding factor? Because I feel like it's a lot.
@B_Marsh92@PokeysaurusRex I'm actually ok with them taking their foot off the pedal a bit. Historically, teams that win a game by a blowout usually have a let down the next game. I like the idea of taking the 4-0 lead, not sitting back entirely, but maybe just controlling possession and cycling the puck.
@B_Marsh92 Loved seeing the guys still selling out to block shots in a game that was essentially over. Play the full 60, never give them life. That's how you get over the playoff hump
@DrKevinLuckow@RussoHockey I got to see Wutzke a few times in the WHL over the last few years. He's a very good goalie who spent most of his junior career on mediocre teams
@RussoHockey Losing Hlavaj will be unfortunate. Iowa (and Minnesota's future) would be loaded in goal if they could bring back Samuel and also have Wutzke for next year. Would be a deep goaltending depth chart with trade potential down the line.
@AnthonyLaPanta A win tonight is a must. Then Wild have Preds, Blues, Ducks. Stars have Rangers, Leafs, Sabres.
Just need to win 1 more game out of those final 3 than the Stars do.
The season is over. Now comes the full story.
From Game 7 heartbreak to a summer of change, this is a full look at the #OilKings season and what comes next.
This one’s a deep dive.

@miketheref@WONF4W Edmonton had like 6000 people last time AEW was here, and the Jericho promo with Don Callis was the loudest I've ever heard any crowd for a wrestling show live.
Edmonton Oil Kings vs Saskatoon Blades.
Structure vs chaos.
Edmonton controls pace → series ends in 5.
Saskatoon forces turnovers → this goes long.
Edmonton won the season series 3–1

@TheAthleticNHL Bettman would rather have the most exciting first round, and the most boring later rounds, than to actually have a playoff structure that makes sense and creates more exciting matchups the closer you get to the Final.
He's a joke, and he has been a joke for 33 years now.
@richhill_ I used to tell my personal trainer all the time that I hated Burpees and Rowing. So she opened every private training session with burpees and rowing.
I wish I knew back then that there's no "mandatory" exercises.
