None of this stink should be on Gus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say hap-hazard and unpredictable. I remember making fun of him for that when the Wild played the Knights in the playoffs. Sometimes it works, sometimes it most certainly does not. I know if I were a defensemen who I'd rather play in front of, and it's not him. Anyone that says any of those defensemen think otherwise are f'ing nuts.

jgodwin17 Verified Member Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 We are not playing well tonight. We are A) Trading chances and not playing our game. B) Play a goalie who hasn't had it for a while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WheelSnipeCelly Verified Member Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Boldy, Mojo, Spurgeon all with the uncharacteristic -3 for the night so far. That was a brutal period. Feel like this is on Deano for going with Fleury. I get that he didn't change the goalies last playoffs soon enough, but feels like he overcorrected this go-around. Why would you swap goalies when the Gus Bus did all that could be asked of him and more last game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pewterschmidt Verified Member Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 This is the second playoff flameout by MAF in two years. I’d be surprised if BG hasn’t seen enough. It’s like having a field goal kicker who repeatedly misses 30 yarders at end of tie games. Can only watch that so many times before the humane thing to do is to not let him be put in that situation anymore. We’re there with MAF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's completely clueless and out of position all the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not enough some nobody you got from Ottawa massively outplayed him all year? BG is just so full of himself that he can't admit he made a mistake by trading for him. He's too prideful and MAF is the hill he chooses to die on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
