I'm really not used to this. This shouldn't be happening.
The season started on such a good note. 6-0-1. The last unbeaten team in the NHL. And only two of those games were with Gaborik in the lineup. But now...18-16-2, basically .500. 3-8-1 in the last 12.
Save for last game against the Sharks, the Wild can't score. Gaborik returned for two games, now he's out again, and may never return to the Wild, without the team even receiving anything for him. Its extremely frustrating.
When did the wheels come off this team? Over at Five Hole Fanatics, they had a pretty concise, but good analysis of the team's woes. While Koivu is fucking amazing, he has very little support. Injuries are hurting what little depth the Wild had to begin the season. Brunette is good, but not doing all that much at the moment. Miettenen started the season off on an up note, but hasn't done shit in months. Cal Clutterbuck (not to be confused with Cutlerfuck) is showing extreme promise. That dude can hit. He's like a Boogard who can actually play hockey. I hate to say it, but it seems as if Lemaire doesn't know how to make the necessary adjustments to turn things around. I'm not saying he should be fired at all, but we need some new strategy here. Being the best defense in the league doesn't do shit if you can't score a goal. The distraction that is Gabby can't help, either.
Back to Gabby. This shit has somehow taken a turn for the worser-er. If he has surgery, I'm probably gonna blow my brains out, or maybe jump from the Bunge Tower. I just want to know why Gaborik hasn't fired his "agent" yet. Good job, bumblefuck. You turned down $8 million a year for your employer, most likely so you could get a bigger piece of the pie. Now you're gonna be in the fucking poor house. No one will pay more than $5 million a year for a guy who can't play more than half of his games because he's got hips rivaling those of a fucking golden lab. I even got a new hockey stick with a Spezza curve because I was so excited to get some talent in Minnesota who doesn't call in sick 38 hours a week.
Also, FUCKING RE-SIGN BACKSTROM ALREADY, YOU CUNTMUSCLES! For fuck's sake! And work on getting Hossa at the end of the season, don't let him go to Vancouver with Demitra.
Maybe I should run this fucking team.
Haven't seen this in a while...
