I think the ONLY reason Darby is still here is because he is an original Wild from Minnesota.

back in the day the wild were 14-30 in 14 years ....we couldn't beat the wings

2nd period of the oilers game for me

Dumba ?!!

[ClusterChuck]

He didn't have to to over think it.

[bbgarnett]

Wow I go to the bathroom and we score. 

[Tomdog]

How disheartening is it for a forward to have only one player to get around, and then have it be Brodin. 
Do you just peel off and look for someone to pass to, because nobody skates around Brodin. 

[bbgarnett]

Wow was not expecting this kind of game. 

[wildstars95]

 poor detroit has no heavies to retaliate 

[ClusterChuck]

I think Darby's PP game plan is just an over used base plan from analytics that many teams use.
We're not at the bottom like last year so his job is probably safe,
Aside from that he's a former Wild.

Neither did Detroit, until Reaves de-cleated two of their players.  Never liked Reaves on other teams, but really like him as a second protector for skill players (and it eliminates one fighter from the opposition who could take the Moose in some fisticuffs)

The success of our PP is largely due to KK creativity or finishing skill.  Without that, it is VERY pedestrian.

[Tomdog]

Reeves needs to line up Sieder

[ClusterChuck]

Wow...Entire PP in our zone.

At least Boldy has been showing flashes of last year lately so maybe that'll help our PP...Soon.

I guess they didn’t take their notes from Darby. 

[EmptyShelf]

I want to see Hartman back with KK and Zucc when he is ready.  The Steel and PUDreau experiments have not been a success on their line (bad chemistry; Kap and Zucc try to clean up after them and get off their creative game).

[Tomdog]

At least Steel is better than not freddy

I really like Boldy, and I think he helps the PP.  He has yet to reach what his capabilities will be consistently in another year or so.

You mean he doesn't have stone hands, doesn't turn the puck over on simple plays, or miss wide open nets 1:1?  If so, true.  Steel's skating is far superior in consistency to his finishing skills, however.

[bbgarnett]

Boldy should have passed that over to Krueger

[ClusterChuck]

Sloppy...
