So I have never done one of these Forum posts before in my life (also sorry for using the same title as you Krauzer haha it's just that it worked to well to pass up)and noticed everybody else doing a little something about their respective teams, So I thought to myself why don't I do one all while being bored out of my mind at work and having a conversation with myself on the Forum Chat earlier...So here it goes haha guaranteed wont be as good of a read as everybody else's but going to post something to help pass time...
I'm going to start off with talking about Minnesota the "Mystery Team" as I'm sure allot of people would call it with the surprise Back to Back Stanley Cups. I use the Term Mystery team because it is self explanatory when you look at Minnesota...it makes you wonder what the hell is so special about this team? why have they done so dam well? especially when compared to other teams that have an Elite 1-2-3 lines and those are "Great" questions. When you look at them they don't seem like anything special besides the handful of players : SUBBAN, JVR, RASK and EBERLE who actually stand out...and yet they seem to click as a team, I mean HAULA 76 came out and assisted in a big way during the playoffs (S4 Playoff run) and can't forget the unbelievable performance of PETERS 78 from Round 2 of the playoffs against Colorado when RASK got hurt and led Minny all the way to the Cup, but thats not new news of PETERS playoff performance as in season 1 he took Krauzer's flames all the way to the Cup Final. Just something works well with this team...I personally couldn't tell you what it is...EA Games Trickery perhaps and are just taking pity on the Wild.
To skip ahead here to "Present Time" Minnesota are on the brink of missing the Playoffs (8th Place)...They started off strong and have started slowly slipping like a celebrity in Rehab. I have been attempting the past few days to acquire a few pieces to help move them up and into a stronger position IE: Moving BOZAK and BROUWER plus my First Minny Pick for BERGERON and WEISE, which I feel was a great move for Minn playoff future...So in conclusion (AkA I need to get back to work) the battle continues to find another good (Mystery)combination of players...Thanks for reading guys.
