Hockey-78 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Us against some high-end forwards, ugh... If Dubnyk continues with his level of play, we might be in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's where Lemaire's 1-2-2 NZT would be a great strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNSOTA Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I forgot to mention in the preview today that there won't be a post-game as LIG is out of town coaching football....playoffs have started here in Wisconsin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Wild PP... Let's go Boys.....draw first blood here. So far, Minnesota skating very well with the fast offensive minded Stars. Now they need to put one past the goaltender to maybe get Dallas thinking about getting too aggressive on their checks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. nothing to show for on the PP scoreboard wise, but I like the fact they tried taking it to the net and not settle for perimeter shots. I hope they remember that strategy on their ensuing man advantages.... hell, even for 5 on 5. They forced Big Ben to make some timely saves. Bishop is susceptible low....continued driving to the net taking shots, look for the rebounds he is sure to cough up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should say that....they were interviewing a Dallas player right before puck drop (cant remember which player it was off hand), but he said something like, "Glad to be playing back home, these fans here are great!"

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Matt Freakin Read... You know, I was a fan of his when he showed promise in Philly and wanted him to play for either the Wild or Lightning.... guess I should be careful what I wish for...… albeit YEARS later....

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Wow...Dallas getting some awesome bounces going their way. Lucky for the Wild, Dubnyk is on his game. Very sharp. Wish the Wild could limit some of those chances though...… giving a team like Dallas too many of those types of looks to play with is asking for trouble.

It's hard to believe that he was practicing on the top line. I am guessing the thinking is, "Get this guy some time with goal scorers" He is the new project guy. Last season it was Ennis...this year, it's Read. And if Read isn't contributing offensively, he is a waste of a roster spot as he isn't likely to contribute in others. He isn't particularly physical, isn't particularly defensive minded.... its either points or nothing.... like Ennis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Liking the zone time by the Wild just now....but I never got the feeling there were any high danger shots for Bishop to worry about. Nevertheless, I'd rather have the Wild continue to play on Dallas' side of the ice. Nice change of pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
