I am not sure if we'll write up a post-gamer. No matter if the Wild win or lose they need a much better effort than they gave on Thursday. A lot of players and coaches were saying all of the right things as they usually do after a rancid loss, but we have to see that talk translated into action or I think we do...have some serious concerns for the rest of the season if they look as slow and tired as they did against the Avs. Enjoy the preview!

Fargocase Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Historically the Wild is a much, much different team at home. Hope to see that tonight! I attribute that a lot to having the last change, which allows BB to hide some of the Wild's glaring speed and defensive deficiencies. I love Big E. Staal, but when it comes to playing defense, he's an old school scorer, who's constantly staying way high and looking to break out early instead of dropping down low defensively.

There wasn't much good to talk about last game. Sounds like they're sticking with the same lineup as Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 13 shots in 2 periods, or 21 for an entire game, not so much.. GO WILD!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbgarnett Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 even if we can get 35-40 shots on net they need to be high quality, we get way too many shots blocked and or the shots are so low quality that it wouldn't matter if we had a 100 as they'll give us those shots all day.

McMahon 6 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Yep. Not a lot of flow or puck possession either way. Thank goodness for Dumba's cannon; 5 shots ain't gonna cut it in the second period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
