IllaZilla Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Remember way back we used to have that drinking game whenever Terhaar's voice cracked or said "feathered a pass" or "off the half wall"? We should do that whenever the Avs announcers say "Captin Gabriel Landeskog"...I bet I'm annihilated by the 10 minute mark... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Matt McConnell's "lost the handle" or anytime Dan Terhaar's voice cracked...until his crazy wife showed up to complain about our criticism. It is never a good sign to have a Brad or a Dan as ref.

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Dubnyk did NOT see that one at all. Crap load of players between he and the shooter. Sigh....alright, playing from behind.

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Minnesota is going to HAVE to make faster decisions on the PP....Colorado has highly aggressive penalty killers. Almost no time and space for Wild shooters.... Think fast, boys, think fast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always looking for that pretty goal rather than just any goal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Seems to be an air of chippiness to this game. Little things like extra shots after plays, guys regrouping then purposely bumping someone wearing the opposite sweater, etc. Wouldn't surprise me if this thing started getting outright nasty after one team scores...particularly if it IS an 'ugly garbage' type goal. Colorado continues to get in the face of Wild players when Minnesota possesses the puck. Good strategy on their part...however, if Minnesota can get guys open and execute on the passing, they could catch Avs players out of position defensively because they are going all out to run into Wild players. Just some stuff to look out for.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful where you say that @bbgarnett. I took Russo to task about his article about Suter's 1000th game......it started with Suter meeting his new neighbor, none other than my governor, Scott Walker......let's just say Twitter is none too pleased with me. I was a bit ticked that this meeting happened during the SUMMER but this puff piece wasn't mentioned until now, you know, two weeks before the election.
