I believe in the tarasenkshow
Tarasenko is a beast and is perfect example of why fans and media are morons that get lost in their own “brilliance” the guy is on a brand new team for the 4th time in the last few years after never moving teams before that, he’s had a ton of injuries the last 5-6 years, give the guy time to settle, get comfortable and fully healthy. Seems obvious. Especially when Tarasenko’s track record and pedigree in this league is better than 99% of all Wild players in their entire history. I’ve got faith in him, he’s an almost sure fire Hall of Famer.
Also, if they can now unlock Jiricek? That’s scary. Guy has just as much potential as Buium if the coaches give him the attention he deserves. Could be a massive offensive threat.
I'm calling TRENIN, the Lean mean hitting machine
Your watching Yurov grow up game to game,
The more I think about it, I don't want another trade. We can't mess with the vibes in the room. Our team is who we love. Go Wild!
Just don't trade Yurov. Keep the Russian line together, get another center, and have that be the 3rd line that rips other teams apart. Look at what Florida did with the 3rd line in the playoffs. You do need 3 lines now, because you will play Florida who have 3.
Если все РОССИЯНЕ-четверо заиграют на полную катушку-мощь в Миннесоте, как в свое время в Детройте (русская пятерка),то Миннесоту не остановит даже
Колорадо Эвеланш. Будем поглядеть! Ну и ждем усиления! Хватит сидеть пожизненно в середнячках.
Касательно Володи Тарасенко,то это человек достойный простого человеческого уважения.Он все всем в свое время доказал!
Любому человеку просто нужна своя родная среда и будем надеяться, что диалог Кирилла Капризова посоветовавшего Володе перейти в Миннесоту был ключевым.
Они давние друзья и на вопрос Кириллу одним из корреспондентов, кому вы доверите своего ребенка в ваше отсутствие среди российских хоккеистов играющих в НХЛ(хотя у Кирилла детей еще нет),он ответил,что Володе Тарасенко !!!(на тот момент он был еще в Детройте)
Мэтт Болди если выйдет на свой потенциальный уровень, то Миннесота возьмет трофей! Вратарская группа(шведы)молодцы!
Hynes gave Greg Cronin credit for having the call ups ready to play in the team systems. Greg maybe turning things around in Iowa?
Words are tough for some people…
Watching Yurov has been an absolute joy. Love his face off work, the footage of his win going to vladdy and the goal was insane
