Skomonkey Verified Member Posted Sunday at 03:54 AM Share Posted Sunday at 03:54 AM Tonight’s Rant! The whole team played slow and lazy tonight against LA. It would be nice if Ryan Carter didn’t play the “don’t say anything bad” commentator. I like Ryan, but he can never provide critical analysis. He was asked several times if the Wild looked tired. He always said no but then said they need to be heavier on their sticks. That soft guy code for they are playing lazy slow hockey. Yes, Krill is playing the best of his career but outside him and Boldy, the whole team is literally light on their sticks against good teams. Rossi is way under sized and it shows in hard games like tonight. for the first time Brock Faber loafed out there. He was either tired or pissed off the winger was never in the right position. They got outplayed for all but 3 minutes in the last 5 of the third. Then you saw urgency. I'm thrilled with the Wild start but let’s not get to excited. We have not beat a top team yet (Dallas, Jets,, Colorado,LA). We have largely been manhandled in these games. tonight Hines knew we wouldn’t win, that’s why Gus played Friday. Didn’t want to blow his stats. There is no other reason you don’t have the best goalie in the league playing against a top 3 team in your division. tonight‘s game was not a one off or just because it was the second half of a back to back or because they are tired. Every time we play a top-tier team we show how deficient we are with our talent and how key guys in our middle six lineup are either past their prime or just not worth the money they currently command based on their play and productivity. JoJo is the leader of this group. If I was the coach, I would make him skate lines every time he had one hand on the stick carrying the puck until he learns to put two hands on the stick and not cough it up every single time. He can’t win a board battle to save his life. I would bench him. End of Rant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
