Actually I think he turns his opponents all about, hence why he can score so easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR Ewing Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 There's the patented 75 MPH high and wide wrister. I don't know HOW he doesn't pump those things in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they aren't developed by former Wild players and current Wild veteran players. Have him hang with the women's Gopher team to learn how to be an effective player.

rottenrefs Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 The Wild are going to chat with Zach Parise during the intermission. I'm betting he'll talk about playing 60 minutes of hockey. The rest will all be cliche's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR Ewing Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Close games after 1 period. -Scored is tied at 1 each. -Oilers ahead in Corsi 21-18 -Oilers edging Wild in Fenwick 20-16 -Oilers just ahead in Scoring Chances 13-12 -Wild ahead in High Danger Chances 10-8 Not much between them so far.

rottenrefs Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Gorg did bring up being better at moving the puck up ice. What? Maybe he was isolating on a couple recent periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a stat for Gaping Nets allowed? Because by my count, the Wild lead the Oilers there 2-0.... one was a Draisaitl slam dunk, the other, Stalock was lucky whomever was on that open side didn't get a good hold of the puck...

No, but the Oilers do have a record on Tuesday night games at home, the day after eating Pizza 73, and while wearing boxer shorts. I think I'll switch to Minnesota coverage...

The difference though is the Wild can have similar stats like that against very highly rated teams too. They can hang with just about any team but they all too often play down to their opponent. Nothing against the Oilers but the Wild have done this for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an FYI for those new to the Wild GDT... Often we refer to Anthony LaPanta as Panties and Mike Greenlay as Chuckles. Or Dumb and Dumber. Both work but Greenlay is by far the worst.

rottenrefs Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 @JR Ewing I totally agree. However on a back-to-back versus a rested team the Wild could beat Chicago, Nashville, or Maple Leafs on a second night of a back-to-back yet lose their asses to someone like the Rangers. As fans we never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha...I am aware LaPanta is joked on by some Wild fans, but personally, I like him. He isn't overly homeriffic like some local announcers (and why should he, he doesn't work for the Wild, he works for the FSN sports station), but he does just enough to flavor the game towards the home team...I can deal with that. Greenlay on the other hand...ugh..... sometimes I wonder if he just says the first thing that comes to mind during a broadcast... "...Granlund had the inside edge on the Edmonton defender.... oh wait, are those Cheetosh, Anthony? Can I have some? The refs sure are calling this one tight, wouldn't you agree? Hey...is that Nordie? What's he doing in Edmonton?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
