McMahon 6 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Time to see if the Zilla-McMahon Chinese food run strategy can work 4X in a row for the good guys. Carry on, soldiers: I should make it back around the 12 minute mark (assuming that drivers have recalled how to handle snow in Minnesota again...)

IllaZilla Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Mrs. made a wild rice hot dish tonight. No Chinese. Interesting the Wilds top line has been stymied again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rottenrefs Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 That 1st period was rough on our top two lines. they looked wishy-washy. 2nd period though they had a lot more scoring chances off the rush and added more pressure. Granny to Zucker... Whew, then Staal to Zucker, etc. Much better effort there. Parise - Koivu - Coyle, not too bad and looked better but didn't have near the chances as Staal's line, Our D-core tightened it up and our forwards started to get back better.

rottenrefs Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Coyle tripped - another Wild PP Get Staal's PP line out there instead of Koivu's PP killing line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rottenrefs Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 They did. First 10 seconds they get a shot off. Koivu's line didn't even get a shot off last PP. (Staal's did with 20 seconds left.) Staal's line: The Leafs are having a hell of a time containing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know. It's exasperating / frustrating / I usually get called a hater if I call him out for it. I don't know what the hell this team sees in him. 3-4 young no-talent players are cheaper and bring more options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNSOTA Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Finally......ZUCKER!!!! One huge difference in tonight's game is we're getting shots in close instead of the worthless perimeter shots we've become so used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
