Tom Powers: Wild create 18,000 puzzled viewers

Mikko Koivu struck a blow for his own captaincy Wednesday night. With the Wild on the verge of yet another loss, Koivu was on the verge of being lumped in with a couple of other captains: Edward J. Smith and Max Pruss.

The Wild has a groin gal at their disposal, so there's really no exuse for groin injuries.

This blog community should be named Hooterville. Discuss.

OK...Hooterville it is. I should probably make a Wiki so our readers can decipher our language and in-jokes.

[J-No]

Kind of quiet here today...

Richards has problems coaching?

I'm sure being edgy and constantly ripping on coaching/management/fans works perfectly fine with your football and baseball readers but to knowledgeable hockey fans you sound foolish.

This is a guy who has won at every level being forced to change playing styles with a team that is slow and aged in the top 6.

And yes, they have to change styles because the fans demanded it; because now, if you want to win cups, you have to attack.

Its going to be a long season, I wouldn't use your 'coaching problems' material just yet or you'll have nothing to write.

When do chipmunks go into hibernation? Rasputin and Rumplestiltskin are still eating three meals a day. I don't want the little buggers getting stuck in the snow.

This is hilarious, in a good way:

old coaching = boring hockey, but a few boring wins new coaching=bad hockey, but trying for exciting wins. I'll take the new hockey and see what happens, if you want excuses why the team lost then hire gardy, he isnt busy now except making more commercials.

I think they made big mistake when they didnt save Gaborick from leaving.

[yeah sure]

the wild and the wolves are going to make for a long winter.
