MNCountryLife Verified Member Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Hunt has really stabilized the D pairings and seems to work well with Buium. Spurgeon and Mids are back to being comfortable. I would not say that Brodin is back to being Brodin. But even a lesser version of himself is still an adequate top 4 player. Faber has looked good. Box outs and goal side play by all 5 players on the ice is working. I'm not seeing the shots coming from the slot anymore. I would still get Jiricek on the ice. He is a part of that future core. As well as Hunt is playing I don't think he comes out of the lineup either. Perhaps a 50/50 game split between Mids/Jiricek would be the way to go. No wag BG does this though. We are getting points. He won't change it while that is happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Most important: Foligno and Trenin are just wrecking faces. A lot of the Wild's success and energy last night was in no small part to laying into Vegas hard. This team will probably never be a track meet team. If the first part of the season is any indication, they shouldn't try. It led to them stumbling really hard. Hynes talked about "identity" a lot. Punching one of the highest scoring teams in the mouth and keeping the last 4-5 opponents to 2 goals or less is what Wild games are. Hunt for Jiricek also made a huge difference. One day, Jiricek may be better, but results never lie: Hunt is a better fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
