Article: Game 2 Gamethread: Wild at Stars (8:30 p.m.)


Game over.  What a crap way to start that game and give Dallas all sorts of momentum.  Going to run us out of the building tonight and come into St. Paul feeling great.

Not a fan of the coaching decision.  We’re 10 minute in and the crowd is already chanting at our backup goalie and we’re icing our hot goalie.

Also these adds in the rinks are getting ridiculous.

 

Glidden - Official paint of the NHL? Does the NHL need an official paint?

I'd say they need to paint the adds on the boards...but those are digital and annoyingly scrolling now. So no, they don't need paint.

Robertson has a hell of shot, but under any pressure he crumples. Glad we got Kap instead.

For anyone that read that "comparison" article on the Athletic it was laughable. Like you said, he's got a good shot and he's smart, but skating/skillset. lol. His skating is average at best. He's got better line-mates.

Maybe Evanson should pair Brodin with Faber, Dumba with Merrill?

I kind of thought the same last game. Pairing Faber with Merrill is a lot of pressure. For Faber...because Merrill is by and large terrible and he shouldn't have to deal with that.

He's also a big dude and Spurgeon and Zuccarello have been manhandling him this series. Also MUCH better linemates.

Not sure it would matter. Those shots Fleury let in were tougher saves than the 2 that went by Gus last game, and the Stars were likely to win this one before the puck dropped.

Gus was stopping tougher ones as the game went on. He had what, at least 30 straight saves to end the game?

I guess he was too tired to play though, but Oettinger wasn't.

I do think the Stars have a much better chance to win, even before the game started. But Fleury could have played the breakaway much better.

He had no chance on the tip.
