Wild Picking Up The Scraps

from Patrick Reusse of the Star Tribune,

Risebrough was in the bargain basement’s hockey section, up to his elbows in the squalor of stinking pads and broken sticks, trying to find bodies that he could pass off to his team’s gullible consumers as real players.

In several instances, Risebrough was required to place a mirror under the individual’s nostrils to make sure he still was breathing. This did not prevent the boss from suggesting the Wild was a better team with these scraps than with Brian Rolston and Pavol Demitra.

Double-Talking Doug operates with a motto that has served him extremely well in St. Paul: “You can fool some of the people some of the time, and you can fool all of the Wild fans all of the time.”

Do you wonder what the Wild’s strategic plan is?

Look to the top:

They have the same owner (Craig Leipold) who forced a yard-sale of the best players when he owned the Nashville Predators.

Riseborough is following orders…his owner’s plan of squeezing every dime out of the franchise, winning be damned.
