Jacques' Poll: Would a Dose of Levitra do the Trick?

Another terrible, horrible, no good, rotten game last night by the Wilds in a 3-1 loss to the Flyers. Mike Russo of the StarTribune said fans were booing it was so bad. I couldn't even watch the third period. And just think, 88% of you said Jacques is not on the hot seat. (See Jacques' Poll at right). Why not? This team doesn't play with any consistency. With the exception of Aaron Voros (we'll talk about him in days to come), no one plays with any passion. Backstrom let a goal in from outside the blue line, our best defenseman is a 72 year old Keith Carney, our best offensive threat is Voros a tall, gangling rookie, and the powerplay is a fucking joke. As my wife said last night after the Wilds botched another 5 on 3 advantage, "the enemy of good is perfect..." I was like, why aren't you coaching?

Let me highlight the problem at hand. The Wilds have exactly one win in games where the opponent scores the first goal. One win??? Guess how many wins they have when trailing after 2 periods.......two. That's right, they have two come from behind wins this season in 27 games. What a joke! Where's the heart, the grit and determination? Where's the ingenius bench strategy that Jacques is known for???

Yet, you people think Jacques has control over this ice hockey club. Now, admittedly, Jacques' Poll did coincide with a 4-game win streak by the Wilds, but still isn't the writing on the wall? This team needs to get it going. The Western Conference is so tight, the Wilds could easily miss the playoffs. What's the solution?

The Wild are terrible...the cup will never be paraded down Nicolette Mall...and all Minnesotans will live in a cold, dreary hell for the rest of their lives because of it.

If they Wild are going to nancy around waiting for a highlight-reel goal all the time,
they might as well just start the NHL's answer to the Harlem Globetrotters.
it's a GAME.
get shit DONE.
That 5 on 3 was so lame -- no wonder they got booed.

Red and Green. Your blog + The Wilds = The Baby born of a virgin mother.

I agree... I feel as if the Wild need to be reminded that they are a HOCKEY team and the point of that is putting the puck in the net, it doesn't have to be pretty it just needs to happen!

I hear this blog is about to be up and running again! Can't wait for the grand re-opening. Your observations were always on-point and hysterical. When will the Wild PR people pick you up, anyway?
