No woman wants to be with a man who's in every girl's likes, follows random women, and is overly friendly with everyone. It's not insecurity, it's embarrassing.
How opposing GMs gifted Vegas the winningest team in hockey at the expansion draft:
Bad Trades
• Anaheim traded Vegas Shea Theodore so they take on Clayton Stoner's $3.25m x 1y contract.
• Minnesota traded Vegas Alex Tuch so they would pick up Erik Haula instead of Matt Dumba or Eric Staal.
• Pittsburgh traded Vegas a 2nd round pick (Drew Commesso) so they would take on Marc-Andre Fleury's $5.75m x 3y contract.
• NY Islanders traded Vegas the 15th overall pick (Erik Brannstrom) and a 2nd round pick (Egor Sokolov) so they would take on Mikhail Grabovski's $5m x 1y contract.
• Tampa Bay traded Vegas Nikita Gusev, a 2nd round pick (Alex Texier) and a 4th round pick (Paul Cotter) so would take on Jason Garrison's $4.6m x 1y contract
• Winnipeg traded the 13th overall pick (Nick Suzuki) for the 24th overall pick so Vegas wouldn't select Tobias Enstrom.
Bad Protections
• Boston protected Kevan Miller over Colin Miller.
• Los Angeles protected Derek Forbort over Brayden McNabb.
• St. Louis protected Sobotka, Berglund, Reaves over David Perron and Jordan Binnington.
Bad Everything
• Florida traded them Reilly Smith for a 4th round pick, left Jonathan Marchessault exposed, while protecting Alex Petrovic & Mark Pysyk.
• Columbus traded them a 1st & 2nd round pick so they would take on David Clarkson's $5.25m x 3y contract. Then they exposed 43-goal scorer William Karlsson.
In total, they finessed:
• Shea Theodore
• Jonathan Marchessault
• William Karlsson
• Reilly Smith
• David Perron
• Brayden McNabb
• Marc-Andre Fleury
—
• Alex Tuch (huge part of Jack Eichel package)
• Nick Suzuki (huge part of Max Pacioretty package)
• Drew Commesso (huge part of Robin Lehner package)
• Colin Miller (huge part of Alec Martinez package)
—
• Erik Brannstrom & Egor Sokolov (became Mark Stone)
• Erik Haula (became Nicolas Roy -> Mitch Marner)
• Alex Texier (became Keegan Kolesar)
• Nikita Gusev (became Daniil Chayka, Lukas Cormier, and Jakub Demek)
• Paul Cotter (became Alex Holtz, Akira Schmid, and Mason Moe)
The league's got no one to blame but themselves.
Immediate 2025-26 Minnesota Wild season reflection:
1. A step forward for the organization, they were damn close to the Avs despite two major injuries.
2. Jesper Wallstedt is HIM. A wealth of experience for the young stud and a lot of learning he can take with him into the offseason. No question he looks to be #1
3. Gotta feel really good about the Quinn Hughes situation. I don’t think anyone could’ve predicted how great of an impact and how unreal he was in a Wild jersey.
4. Matt Boldy, Kirill Kaprizov & Brock Faber are superstars and showed out in the playoffs.
5. The core is missing one piece (top line center), otherwise lots to be optimistic about moving forward despite the disappointment right now.
6. Still hate this playoff format. It’s dumb.
P.S. Billy G if ur reading this, go get a center :)
More to come on the Wild.

The fact that the fine for flipping someone off ($4250) is more than the fine for cross checking someone in the head is crazy to me but sure department of player safety
You cannot hate Jamie Benn enough. The guy pretends so hard to be toug but in reality he's just a giant man child who tries to intentionally injure orher players by going after their heads.
I hope the NHL holds Jamie Benn accountable for once… First a Slewfoot on Matt Boldy in Game 2 & now a blatant cross check to the back of Boldy’s head in Game 3. Should be in the press box in Game 4.

Such a dirty player.
The #mnwild has now scored a goal in all 82 games this season, marking the first campaign in franchise history the team has never been shut out.
Dating back to March 25, 2025, Minnesota has scored a goal in 93 consecutive regular-season games, tied for the longest streak in franchise history (11/2/25-11/29/06).
