It seems Goligosky also is not as fast as we wish.

Nope, and Benn and Merrill need to keep guys in FRONT of them at ALL times.  Brodin is the only one with REAL wheels in the back (see my last post regarding youth).

[wildstars95]

sure is easy to score on talbot hey 

[Alexandron]

Talbot should stop that goal.

[EmptyShelf]

I HATE Pietrangelo.  Total D-Bag.  Dirty play.  

[ClusterChuck]

That was a Vasectomy. 

[ClusterChuck]

When was the last time we scored on a 5 on 3 ?? 

[Tomdog]

Back to back to back penalties. That's why the wild need to start scoring on the PP

[EmptyShelf]

We NEED another two minutes!?!  Just bury the damn puck and tie it up.  I am feeling the ghosts of Koivu/Parise/Suter about that last PP....

Let me take a trip back in my WAY BACK machine.  We have NO plan

[EmptyShelf]

Gaudreau should not be on PP.  How many times are you going to throw it back to Dumba!??  5 times in 30 seconds?!?

[ClusterChuck]

Dumba is our Suter now. 5 passes to him and just a limp wrister.

[wildstars95]

that bigmouth arena announcer  does the goal 5 minutes after goal is scored

[Tomdog]

They really do overthink the PP.

One of the most effective lines tonight has been the 4th.

Give them some PP time rather than Gudrau.

[EmptyShelf]

Too many role players on our team still.  We need another goal scorer.  Gaudreau, Bjug, Duhaime, and even Sturm + Greenway are NOT really capable of reasonable goal production.  That is a lot of players that are not much of a threat (and some have to play on the 2nd PP).  Then there is Rask, who can get hot and then be so cool he is sitting in the stands in shades.  I would like to see Pitlick in lieu of one of these players, or Boldy/Rossi.  They smother Kap and Fiala and our skill level drops drastically...which we WILL see in playoffs.

so do you think this wild team can beat vegas in a 7 game series ?

Not without MORE goal scoring and clearly without Brodin - his absence makes our defense materially worse (see Dumba; Matt). 

[Alexandron]

We missed such a great opportunities on all those Power Plays at the end of the 2nd period (5 on3; 5 on 4). We did not do anything but mostly only passing. Guadreau to Dumba, Dumba to Gaudreau. Wish to see Pitlick on those PP. Vegas practically dictated their game in both periods. They were faster and more physical too. Same picture we have seen during playoffs against them last season.

After this game -  not sure any more.

Only if our top guns produced the way VGK's have been doing since Max P returned.
Ours are easier to disrupt and VGK's game makes it tougher to stop theirs.

Not if we keep taking stupid penalties that drain our energy and not if the PP continues as is.

Vegas has no need to worry about taking penalties if we can't score

5 straight games with 1 PPG each means you won't be seeing much if any changes.

A freak goal

[bbgarnett]

Foligno!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EmptyShelf]

We need to add a 'difference maker' to our PP.  Someone who knows how to run or add to an effective PP.  I feel like we are fortunate when we score, more so than intentional.  Most often, we are funning around without a Plan, and I think some of it is due to personnel

 

That a boy Lou Ferrigno.  Give the team a spark.  That is why he is the REAL C
