Pewterschmidt Verified Member Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 (edited) I do like the jump in Ohgz step on the penalty kill if he can carve out that role for himself this year and get NHL TOI, that’s overall a positive for his development Edited October 13 by Pewterschmidt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pewterschmidt Verified Member Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Nice play with that loose puck in the corner Foligno where you gathered up the loose puck and then fell in the corner with it and gave it right back. OK I’ll stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Gaudreau is playing really well. He may not get a lot of points, but he and Lauko are definitely making plays when given the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protec Verified Member Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 46 minutes ago, Citizen Strife said: How the fuck do you let them score with two seconds left to tie it up? By losing the d-zone face off. Clean win just like WPG goals scored against MN in the pre-season. So far this is looking like the Wild team that can't win draws or defend well enough like last season. These are the exact same things we noticed before. Can't win important draws just like that. 6v4 in the D-zone, bang in the back of the net. When does MN score that way??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pewterschmidt Verified Member Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 I guess I was expecting a little more coordination from the boys after a full summer and training camp of learning Heinze’s program. I’ve only watched one and a half games so far, but this is a little reminiscent of the Todd Richards years. Five players skating in five different directions on every shift. too early to make that judgment yes but I’m not encouraged by what I’m seeing so far 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Gus is playing his ass off. I just wish the defense would stop forcing him to do so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protec Verified Member Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Correction: 6v5. Still, MN lacking important details in these first few games. WPG shelling MN with 20+ shots in two periods. It's like Deja-Vu all over again. NoJo-negative -1 with two giveaways and no shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pewterschmidt Verified Member Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 The only thing I’ve seen Trenin do is chase the play Duhaime was elite at this. Why didn’t we just keep Duhaime and spend Trenins $4M+ on an nhl middle six forward 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hynes puts him on the grizzle line and neutralizes Hartman's scoring ability by putting him with bangers down low and loads all the Euros on finesse lines. So far, I'm looking at Guerin's tweaks and Hynes lines like WTF is the point of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Say what you want about the Foligno line, Khusnutdinov is doing what he can to make it work. Ohgren showed off some speed in a scoring chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldDutchChip Verified Member Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Faber hasn’t been playing like 8+ million defender. Actually only Chrissy has been playing about what he is worth. Rest of the D group have been just bad. Gus saving their ass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 (edited) Faber's been keeping the few plays the Wild has strung together in the offensive zone. The team is even lucky it is tied now. A lot of it is Gus, but Faber and Middleton are about the only defenseman not screwing up more than once a shift.

Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Sorry, but Faber alone isn't going to make up for Ek and Spurgeon being out, the Wild being on a back to back, and other defensemen kinda playing like shit. The Wild are lucky they haven't been blown out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurgeon is looking less and less valuable the more he sits out. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
