I don't care what line they are on. They NEED to be up, and Pitlick NEEDS to be on the ice. Bjug, Rask, DuHaime, and Gaudreau are like giving up 4 spots that could go to MUCH more talented and energetic players. It IS time, as the 5 game losing streak and Covid shortage enabled. I just hope Evason and Guerin see reality staring them in the face. Bjug, Rask, DuHaime, and Gaudreau also had little to NOTHING to do with our 8 game win streak, but aren't there to pick us up with a greasy goal, slick pass, or solid play when we needed it during the losing streak. TURN THE PAGE on them all (DuHaime may still have a contribution to make - but NOT right now). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brodin hits a pea fairly often. Actually, Sturm redirected the puck from Brodin's shot. Boston commentators just showed how he did it. They also said well about Kaprizov, that he practically changed the culture of the Wild team. This goal was his 40ies point this season.

I wouldn't give up on Duhaine quit as quick compared to the rest you listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't really matter as it was a sweet shot by Brodin that would've scored anyhow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexandron Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 So far I like today's roster the most. Drive and intrigue presented in the 1st period. Maybe only we should add EEK instead of Gaudreau to this roster. Bjugstad was injured during the last practice, Duhaime is on Covid protocol, Rask was on waivers but cleared now (not playing).

Well let's face it the only reason Rask was on the ice is it's hard to pay someone $4million to not play. Busted and Gaudreau are on the ice because they are RIGHT HANDED and that's about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just exhausting to depend upon 2-3 goal scorers to sink/swim and ZERO contribution (goals or otherwise) from 30-40% of the roster. They didn't add much to any game, though I get the RH and $4MM rationale - it is how you lose games. Find better players and move em out if they don't deliver. We knew Rask was too slow when we traded NN YEARS ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His shot was sweet, but still not sure because of Swayman(their goalie) reaction. Redirected/deflected shots more difficult to take. Wish our team will produce more goals this way. We are not as good on that task. Interesting, our former players Coyle and Haula are playing together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmptyShelf Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Take the $ consideration out of the discussion for the sake of analysis. How MUCH better do you think Goligoski has played versus Suter in almost ALL of his years (lower ticket charge notwithstanding). Wonder if he would take another $5MM deal? I also like Kulikov most nights 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
