Also, so when did we start pronouncing Rossi's name differently? LaPanta is saying it like Rosecee....
The ESPN guys talked to him last weekend, and reported that he said that’s how it was pronounced, so they were saying it that way. Now, of course, our great Anthony The Fucking Planter has to make sure to say it that way, and mention his name more than required, just to ensure that we know he’s all over it. Just like when Ekky became Jule instead of Joel.

Wes also has to make sure to say these things more than necessary, just like when he was on his “Johnny” Merrill trip for awhile.
If Rosessesseci doesn't pick his game up it won't matter much :)

Nice 5 year extension he got at 2.1 mil a year for 5 years
That's a phenomenal deal for the Wild.
Absolutely this.

It's hard to use the word 'great' because he's not. But, he's is absolutely one of those 'glue guys' that you do need to make the great ones cohesive. I've said this before that I don't know hockey as well as some people. But this guy just seems like the complete opposite of Victor Rask. That guy seemed like a black hole. Always two steps behind the play. The opposite of Freddy. Good for Gaudreau! Hope we can get Johansson for 3 years at the same term.

In the grand scheme of EVERYTHING this is low priority... But we've been hearing about this guy for HOW long??? NO ONE from draft night until NOW knew how to properly pronounce his last name??? potato...potatoe

It is quite odd that this has just taken place. If Rose-cee doesn't pick up his game in the next year or two we won't be worrying about how to pronounce his name. The young fellow has been extremely disappointing to date. I will say however that I was down on both Spurg and Ek their first couple of years and they made me eat my words....hope Rose-cee does the same!

so the kid has been pretty much a disappointment to date and he gets called up and want to change the way we pronounce his name ? worry about your game kid - become a player and then we can worry about how we say your name

Hope I'm wrong about him like you and I both were with Spurg :lol: , but to date I've seen virtually nothing from him that makes me think he'll turn into a solid player.

Hey did you see that JimmyT made a rube chat appearance last night??!

Avs and Preds tied at 3 after 2. Not sure who I’d want in the first round. Love for the first round exits to end though. That would be something different

It’s easy to forget just how offensively poor Koivu and Ek were early in their NHL careers. That said, I’m willing to be a bit more patient, but I’m just not sure this kid will ever make that leap. Hope I’m wrong….

I was definitely wrong on Ek so I’ll give the kid some more time but he’s pretty much invisible now

Time for this franchise to nut-up and win an evenly matched series.

According to Athletic Faber could be 3rd pairing with Klingberg-both are righties. Gus likely to start but not official.

Where did he publish that? Last I read on Athletic is Merrill was practicing with Faber because Kling was hurt.

Every stat leans towards Dallas. Average more goals, much better power play, first in the league in faceoffs, got one hell of a goalie, and so on. With that said the pressure is on the Stars. Wild just need to relax and have fun and hopefully score that first goal instead of chasing. Oh and don’t take stupid penalties

Great to see Jimtown back. I nominate him or Munger to do the Playoff thread.

Who’s in net? How long is Ek out?
