Man am i glad i stayed up to watch the end of that game last night. Gotta hand it to them for stickin with it, and for once the puck bounces our way!

Ain't that the truth! grin

It's about time the puck takes a few lucky bounces!

I was suprised they gave Bergeron's goal to Koivu. confused

I hear they are giving that goal back to Bergeron. I went to sleep after the third goal SJ scored and thought to myself "if they come back I'm really going to regret this." First thing I hear when my radio goes off this morning, "if you went to sleep after that third SJ goal, you are kicking youself now!" Believe me I was. Hopefully we can come out strong against the Kings. It seems like we never play well against them.

Yeah i was suprised to read the newspaper and Kouivu scored a goal. I had to scratch my head on that one. Just glad for the win even though my eyes are heavy this afternoon at work!

its about time the wild turn the tables and come back and win a game were they were counted out. I like the way our young guns are playing lately.

as for gabby, its going to be a great boost to get him back into our line up, even if he does not score, other players will bennifit from him being on the ice, since gabby gets soo much attention from the defense.

why has foster not played?

I think he is ready to play.

I don't think he wanted to play his 1st game back at the Shark Tank where he was injured.

My guess is we will see him in the next few games against the Kings or Ducks.

Yeah, no kidding. What was with the ref not blowing the whistle on that last goal? Backs had it covered at least to the point where you couldn't see it for a couple of seconds. If they lose sight of the puck , they are supposed to stop the play. Oh well, at least the only thing it hurt was our goals against average.

That definitly should have been a stoppage of play. Oh well, still got the win, although another goal on the stat sheet against Backstrom.

Goal cam on CBC showed puck on line inside Backstrom left heel...spinning right on red line...ref to left of net at 45 degree angle an four feet behind...clear view of spinning puck and stick that taped it in.

Good goal.

Announcers get paid to call foul on WILD....LOL....interesting but sad in same as they do it so much it is boring.

Not everything is a 2 minute call or bad call by ref...against wild.

Call them as they see them, do it fast an most time correctly....teams deal with it an move on.

GO LEAFS!!!

I sure would have liked to see that angle. I would like to have some more impartial play by play. Terharr and Greenlay are a little over the top. Anyone have any guesses on the score tonight? I'm going 3-2 SJ winning it. We seem to help teams out in a slump. I'm still pretty excited to see it. This is the first game I actually get to watch in about two weeks.

Another close game tonight against the Sharks.

What a nice comeback, and they did not give up against a great team. It is unfortunate they couldn't get the extra point, but a very good comeback.

Gabby had some encouraging words tonight. Sounds like he wants to come back and score some more goals for us. Hopefully he will live up to those words and make the difference to the end of the season.

Time will tell... grin

Speaking of Gabby. . . what sweater will he wear next season? Does it depend on JL returning/retiring?

Hopefully a Wild sweater.

If JL retires and we get a new coach more offensive minded, Gabby might fit right in scoring goals like he does. grin

do you all think that he will be in MN next year?

Don't really know.

Time will tell. I think it depends alot on what he does this year yet, if anything.

It could also depend alot on what JL does, if anything.

I, for one, hope he is not here. That is a lot of money we can be spending on a free agent. The only thing I really have against the guy is his fragility. He's only played about 120 of the last 240 games for the Wild and he wants a lot to do it. We should see what we can do about getting someone a little less injury prone, but still have that offensive touch that Gabby gave us.

Does anyone know how long we have Nolan for? He was clutch last night and Koivu setting up his last goal was just plain beautiful.

Congrats to Nolan scoring career goals 400, and 401. I'd like to see gaborik back, from what I understand the problems with his "lower body" should have been fixed now with this second surgury. I dont think he's worth a ton of money right now though. too injury prone, he wil have to prove himself before someone throws the big bucks at him. He is also young which should help him heal and move on from injury better.

I'd say he's as good as gone. I just wish we could have made a trade before the season started.

Foster played the L.A. game, I thought. I'm sure that Lemaire is going to put him in when he thinks that he won't be a liability. He can only play limited minutes right now so that means they would have to put more pressure on other D-men (more Bergeron is NEVER a good thing). Look for him thursday against Colorado. They are last in the division with a pretty bad GAA. This might be a good chance for Foster to get in some minutes. Him being back to his old self will be a good help to the team. He was pretty solid defensively and has a cannon of a shot and can play physically. All around good defenseman.

I thought he looked really good against LA, for being out of hockey for about a year! Hopefully he continues to get his feet wet, we need his shot on the blue line, especially during the Power plays, which is poor at best right now!

Like we'll spend that money on a free agent. Please.

Well, apparently JL is pretty happy with John Scott's play that last few games so he will probably be in for Foster again tonight. I'm looking forward to this one tonight. I'd like to see an easy win here, but they rarely are for us.

What a crappy game tonight. They had there legs just couldnt handle the puck. They did not deserve the win but atleast we did get a point out of it.

that game was ugly, they need to pull their heads out of their [PoorWordUsage] real soon, or they might as well kiss a playoff chance good bye.

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
