Pewterschmidt Verified Member Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Memo to Foligno: do your talking on the ice by pounding that guy. I know you’re in the running for the Rocket Richard now, but your job is to get that pound of flesh. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protec Verified Member Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago It's called gamesmanship. Hartman is the only player who has it. Foligno is a whiner who get's too frustrated. Since when have you EVER seen refs reverse course or improve after being yelled at??? Rhetorical question cause never that's why. It's the reason "Grit" is such a joke for MN. That isn't their identity at all. You've got soft-spoken Spurgeon, and a band of Euros who have plenty of skill but zero NA-style pot-stir ability. Check this vid from dooftube-guy. Perfect illustration of what the Wild lack. You don't turn this on and off. Some players have it, others don't. Foligno had a nice game against Philly, and I don't think he's wrong. Just that MN's makeup isn't suited for battle-hockey. They need a skill and pace game for success which is why they always get bounced in the playoffs.

Protec Verified Member Posted 40 minutes ago Share Posted 40 minutes ago Ek should get some credit for gamesmanship too, but it's subtle. He's become more of a complete player and is more along the lines of a Barkov production wise. Albeit Barkov scores prettier goals. They're too valuable and take less risk mixing it up. Foligno should really get in their early and get them fixated on him for the road game. Duh. In Foligno's defense, it was 2-rip Flyers before he got a shift. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
