Ummmm…. ::checks notes:: ….yeaaaahhhh….so this game….to the bullets! Box Score Corsica Natural Stat Trick – This game didn’t even become noticeable until mid-way through the second period. It wasn’t until Alex DeBrincat scored that the Hawks seemed to realize

We’ve had a good bit of fun at the expense of Bruce Boudreau through the years. It’s probably not fair that some of that is due to him looking like he should be holding the princess hostage while waiting for Mario to come save her. But his constant thrashings-about in the playoffs and in the […]

Game #53 – Hawks vs. Wild: Lineups & How Teams Were Built

Sam Fels February 2, 2019 0

Notes: Having played last night this is our best guess. We know Delia will start. Perlini could slot in for Kunitz or Hayden, and Koekkoek could come in for Dahlstrom or Forsling, but after Forsling notched a couple assists that’s unlikely…Kane now has 46 points in his last 26 games…Saad has five goals in his last […]

You’re supposed to get a guarantee with Bruce Boudreau behind your bench. Your team might not have any defensive structure, or really any offensive structure for that matter, he’s going to be awfully red-faced, but your team will finish with over 100 points. Oh, and you’re going to do dick in the playoffs. Those are […]

Ben Remington covers the Wild for ZoneCoverage.com. You can follow him on Twitter @BenRemington.  The Wild have had an ugly December that have seen them tumble down the standings. What’s been the problem? From an eye-test perspective, the scoring has dried up something fierce, and the loss of Matt Dumba recently has definitely exacerbated that. […]

Game #40 – Wild vs. Hawks Douchebag Du Jour: Jason Zucker And The Myth Of A Hawks Killer

Sam Fels December 27, 2018 0

Maybe it’s just us, but we’re fairly sure we’re not alone in hearing Jason Zucker’s name and thinking, “Oh that guys just kills us.” There’s certainly a litany of names that conjure up the same thought. Vladimir Tarasenko is probably the leading one, though he tends to score against everyone (when he cares, which isn’t […]
