Offensive Juggernaut


Hockey Guy

Recommended Posts

Is anyone referring to the Wild as an offensive Juggernaut yet? blush.gif How does Lamaire get these guys to play like they did last night every night? I know you can’t play your best game every night, but it sure seems to me that they get up for the big games only. Except Roloson. He’s always giving it his best. Nice win last night but I hope they saved some goals for Friday night.

That was great to watch. That's the first game I've been able to see this season because I've been out of town and I was impressed. They are a juggernaut at home, now they just need to bring that intensity on the road.

I like their powerplay. It is well coached.

All this offense and no Marian Gaborik yet.

Does anyone see any similarities between Gaborik and a young Mike Modano? That burst Marian has is awesome.

I still worry about Gaborik coming back and disrupting the chemistry of the team. After he returned from his holdout a couple of years ago the teams winning percentage dropped dramatically! I think the rest of the guys might let up a little because they’re thinking, "Alright. Our goal scorer is back." I hope I'm wrong!

Gaborik - and the team - looked good last night. Gaborik looked like he was still just a bit off, timing-wise...but with the new rules that tend to reward speed, Gaborik could be in for a pretty good year...

I was impressed with him last night as well. I had forgotten how fast he is. Just think, in a year or two Puliot will be up with the big boys and he's supposed to be faster then Gabby! I hope they keep this up. It would be nice to attend a few playoff games again. Ok… a little early for that kind of talk. grin.gif

The wild are off to a great start this year. I think the wild are fortunate to have one of the best coaching staffs in all of hockey.

Way to go Gophers last night. First win of the year.

Bemidji is off this weekend and the fighting sioux are in NH. Go Sioux!

From the Wild website:

Wild News And Notes

Word after Monday's practice is that Marian Gaborik did not re-injure his groin as originally thought. After visiting the doctor on Monday, the injury was determined to be a strained hip flexor, which will keep the winger out of Tuesday night's game against Vancouver. Gaborik will be day-to-day after Tuesday.

      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

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
