  1. Anyone think DE is watching like ‘WTF…could have bailed me out and played like this…’. Curiously, in his post firing interview, he said he still had a great relationship with BG and would be rooting for the players….but not the Wild….seemed like a shot at the owner CL…perhaps he demanded the change…money grabber, competitive reload, and first round exit proponent that he is

    Isn't Kap supposidly still injured a bit?

    That’s the story.  He does look less nimble and dynamic.  I wonder it if was some sort of core tear or ligament stretch that has not healed quite right.  He also makes 4-5 passes a game where there are blatant whiffs, so his As/Pts should be 8-15 higher (if players converted even 1/3 of the easier ones).   It is his lack of goals that are more worrying;  and the turn-overs, which is why I think there is an issue.  He is a little less strong on the puck and lacks a bit of his ‘pull away’ gear.

    Passing has greatly improved lately especially the skate to stick moves.
    Hope that goal sparks Foligno now.

    I still see some horrendous cross-ice passes behind or in the blades.  We have looked better, but came into the season lacking crisp and concise play - looks like preseason practice was a few days/weeks for a light skate and a round of golf.  I liked DE as a person, but his in-game strategy, favoritism, line-ups, and lack of focus upon practicing small details and simple hockey were hair-pulling in terms of frustration.  We will see if this bench boss falls into the same trap once the shine is off.
