Enforceror Verified Member Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago This is Rossi's time to shine if he's going to turn the doubters around. If he disappears during the playoffs, I think it will be a hard label to remove. Especially amongst Minnesota fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago If Rossi can remain clutch, it can wash the taste out of not being all that productive down the stretch run. Lest we forget, 40 points to 60 points is a hell of a jump to be proud of. I want him to score when it counts, shut up the naysaying, and have him prove he deserves an extension. In that crazy San Jose game, Rossi AND Ek were both at the goal line scrapping for that goal on a power play. Rossi isn't afraid of being a net front presence when it counts. I think there's warts in his game (because of course there is; no player is perfect). But I don't trust Yurov to be that immediate upgrade to Rossi. He should complement what Rossi and Ek bring. A team lacking skill shouldn't be so quick to dump it, unless someone is just saying, "Yeah, here's a ready made 80-point player. You want him? Havesies, we're hopeless. We'll take Rossi off your hands." But uh...teams don't just give up 80 point players on a whim. Rossi's most of the way there anyway. The Wild should be looking to dump some defense first players in the lower lines with higher offense talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
