Gamethread: Wild vs. Blue Jackets (7:00 p.m.)

I'm not a fan of the audio team having a sound affect when a power play is over but the loon call cracked me up.

Ek and Khus's lines are the best.  They really need to switch up the first and third lines, because they and the defense are pretty sloppy.  Gus is keeping them in this.

You didn’t hear it from me, but I think we’re getting out played

I've got an issue with how much TV and radio keeps saying how bad Gus was last year. Sure, he was, then we have Flower, who was much worse and completely bulletproof from criticism. Just aggravating. 

I'll say it for you: most of the team is not playing up to snuff, and Gus is keeping them in this.

Double shifting 97

Lauko is so good.  Wonder if he should be third line.  The third line is physical, but little else right now.

Was hoping Trenin would be more menacing. Create chaos T-sandal

Gus is playing well

Trenin Harty Foligno are playing like worse line in NHL - which is likely true

Knut Freddy and Lauko is also bad

Get Kap away from Rossi and Zuccy

EAZY M'FN E.

Shiiiiit MJ has 2 helpers Fuuuuuuuuk

This line is killing it.

EKKER

Some beautiful tic-tac-toe passing there! And of course...Mojo was a part of it...

Mojo serves on silver platter

 always liked that guy

NoJo needs a new deal. 😆

...nice apple NoJo. He's got this NHL shit figured out on how to give minimal effort and keep a job and continue to get contracts. Hope to god the Wild ship him at the trade deadline regardless of their playoff position.

New league rule: NoJo only gets one year contracts

Another terrible pass from Midds

Midsy pass there was not great

 he thinks he’s Foligno from time to time

Nice close to a bad period

They really gotta switch out Rossi for Hartman or put Ek and Boldy with Kaprizov.  That first line is dogshit, and the 3rd line is invisible.

Perfect. The NoJo clause.

that tiny line needs either zuccy off or rossi off. or get big buff to forgive MN finally and replace one of the two. i think he tried playing offense in chicago and it sort of worked. imagine buff zuccy and kap. that cat can't be older than zuccy!
