hydguy75 Verified Member Posted Saturday at 02:24 AM Share Posted Saturday at 02:24 AM Hopefully the Wild system can adapt to not having to do the dump and chase every fricken time from now on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJL Verified Member Posted Saturday at 01:19 PM Share Posted Saturday at 01:19 PM I’ve been impressed with every aspect of his game, but those tape to tape stretch passes are unique. It feels like we get one or two grade A scoring chances every game because of them - and often a break-away. It’s obvious that the ability to deliver an accurate, in-stride pass is an important skill. I wish there were better stats available to measure that ability.

Imyourhuckleberry Verified Member Posted Saturday at 08:16 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:16 PM The Wild now have the same points percentage in their last 10 games with Hughes that they had in the 20 prior games without him, so the trade at least didn't make them worse. The goal differential has been quite a bit better with Hughes. They've allowed about .5 more goals per game, but scored about 1 more goal per game, so the differential has increased from roughly 1 goal per game to 1.5 goals per game. The Russians have been a big part of the success over the last 10, with Tarasenko, Yurov, and Trenin all tallying at least 6 points in that time, and the trio averaging around 1 goal per game. Up next, 2 late night games in LA against the Kings, who are one of the league leaders in OT losses(9), trailing only Vegas(11). While the Kings are just 2-6-2 in their last 10, you can bet they'll be motivated to get back in the win column. The Kings have been stingy on defense(#2 in goals allowed), particularly with Kuemper in goal, but are last in the NHL in goals scored at the moment. Hopefully Gus and the Wall can help them stay there. Go Wild!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’d be interesting to see what d-core the Red Line has played with the most/best. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
