@RussoHockey @nytimes If the only forward the Wild re-sign is McClaren, we will need to trade for more than just a 1C. Also will need 1RW, 2LW, 3LW. So really 2/3 or more of the forwards will be new.

[Michael Bain @tsmbain]

@RussoHockey @nytimes I kept hearing how great a "Room" the Wild had this past season. Guerin risks hurting the "Great Room" if half the team is new players, in my opinion. I am not saying to have exact same roster, to keep the same "Great Room", but having a 50% turnover is not a good idea either.

[Michael Bain @tsmbain]

@withuski @RussoHockey @nytimes Yes, changes are needed for future advancement, But some changes, not half the forwards. If McClaren ends up being the only forward re-signed, then half the forwards changed. Wild won't just need a 1C (Dylan, Trochett, whoever), Wild will also need a 1RW, 2LW.

@RussoHockey @ESPNRefNHL So the nhl is accusing McCarron of embelishment. Otherwise, it was obvious the stick hit him. They did not get the call right.

[Michael Bain @tsmbain]

@RussoHockey I'm expecting the start time to be the same as the wolves.

@NHLPLAYERSAFETY is a f'ing joke

[Michael Russo @RussoHockey]

You can see in this clip after he took the penalty, Hathaway yet again finds Eriksson Ek, headlocks him and begins going to town on his broken nose. This is the type of BS the NHL should address if it wants to protect its players

@BrianDouglasKNX @knxnews The southbound lanes should be closed to southbound traffic and be used for additional Northbound traffic. Or at least have only 1 lane be southbound and the other lanes become northbound.

Every drive, Jokic clears out the defender with his elbow and, every time, the officials let it go. @Timberwolves

@Amtrak what equipment will be used for Borealis? Superliner? or ???

[Michael Bain @tsmbain]

@RussoHockey Last game was 10 days ago. Why didn't he have back surgery 9 days ago, so the timetable would be 3-5 weeks?

[Michael Bain @tsmbain]

Maybe there shouldn't be 41 bowl games. Why not 40. Better yet there should be om;y 30 and 7 wins are required.

[Chris Long @ChrisLongKSTP]

Hawaii's 51yd FG at the gun beats Colo St, who finish 5-7.

With that, college football's regular season ends w/ *81* 6-win teams.

41 bowl games = *82* spots.

Therefore, the 5-7 team w/ the highest Academic Progress Rating fills the lone vacancy.

That team is @GopherFootball.

[Michael Bain @tsmbain]

@AdamSchefter @NFL The officials who didn't call a penalty on that should be suspended 4 games without pay.

[Michael Bain @tsmbain]

@RussoHockey @MNWildTalk @russohockey Why did it have to be someone who required waivers? Wouldn't reassigning either Hunt or Petan bring the roster to 22?

[Michael Bain @tsmbain]

@DaBeautyLeague Please invite Marco Rossi to play in your league

[Michael Bain @tsmbain]

@DaBeautyLeague I don't see Marco Rossi's name. Please invite him to play.

@jpolly22 2/2.......If onus is on a player to not run into goalie even if pushed into by the goalie's team, then onus s/b on shooter to not hit opponent's face w/ stick even if he is shooting.

[Michael Bain @tsmbain]

@jpolly22 2. A player gets hit in face w/ stick, bleeds & loses 2 teeth, but no penalty at all on opponent b/c it was "follow through from a shot." That should always be 4 mn penalty........1/2
