My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

I was ****ed when I first heard that the Wild signed Cooke, but after thinking about it, it does make sense. They replace Clutterbuck with a player that, besides the overrated fan-favorite factor, is a better player, that can do more. As long as he doesn't go revert back to complete d-bag mode, I think it will be a good move. The Setoguchi thing is disappointing, because I think most of us, Wild fans, expected more from him when he came over from San Jose, but it just hasn't materialized. At this point, with younger, cheaper options coming up, they had to move him. The most annoying/disappointing part of this whole offseason is that they weren't able dump that slug Heatley's contract.

Wait, hold on, the Leafs gave Clarkson HOW MUCH MONEY? For a 29-year-old thug with one and a half good seasons to his name? No wonder they never win anything.

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

Sounds like they will address it internally with either Pirri or LeBlanc.

Certainly what I'm hoping for. Just don't wanna see Handzus and the sled that he pulls around out there on the 2nd.

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

After listening to Matt Cooke on KFAN with Russo today, I'll give him a chance. His attitude on possibly wearing Boogard's # and recent penalty history give me hope he can just be a useful pest without being a goon for the Wild.

Is that interview online?

Hawks essentially bring the same team back for next season...

Works for me!



Even though I'd still like them to address the #2 center...

Oh well. We've won 2 Cups without one, so what do I (or the rest of the fans) know?

The #2 center is the PC position, just plug-n-play.

If he's gay, I call dibs on his super hot Playmate girlfriend.

Nill probably told him to shut down all of his social media accounts during their 'meeting'.

The usual response when somebody puts foot in mouth on Twitter -- "My account was hacked."

For our further amusement, he shut down his Twitter account:

For our amusement: Tyler Seguin basically just gay-bashed himself.

Edit: Also, Cooke might have a slight advantage for offensive upside, and is probably more useful for special teams, but to call him a replacement for Cal Clutterbuck is kind of insulting Clutterbuck, don't you think?

Strictly concerning production on the ice, no. Could be an issue with locker room cohesion though. We'll see.
