Its tough to be all that optimistic about this one; our offense sputtering going against another elite NHL attack. Yet the Wild have done a decent job of stepping up against this team this season (knock on wood). We'll see if they can surprise us and do so again. Enjoy and discuss...

IllaZilla Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I was going to poke the bear on how Dubnyk's numbers are better than Hellebuyk's numbers, yet Dubnyk has a worse record which leads to the fact that goalies can only stop the puck, they can't put it in the net at the other end of the ice but there are 22 other guys who can put the puck in the net but aren't doing so for whatever reason, but I won't go there...

Icechipper Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Winnipeg Free Press gives Wild backhanded compliment, saying Jets will face a "suffocating defense." Whatever it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreaseAndAssist Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 I'm not sure I would say we're suffocating. But we certainly have to lean more on our ability to shut teams down than to light them up offensively with #9, #3, #16, #12, #22 all on a hiatus goal scoring-wise.

IllaZilla Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Well, the team is kind of suffocating the fans right now, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey-78 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Another game where we only have to score one goal since our ALL-STAR goalie surely can and will keep his goal intact. It's grrrreat to be a Wild fan these days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rottenrefs Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Another game where the Wild need to be sharp and control center ice. Obviously most games need that ingredient but teams with more fire power than us need special attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre has such a man-crush on so many Pens players, Sir Sidney Crosby and Kristopher Knight Letang in particular, that it would have made you barf your thin crust Minneapolis pepperoni with sausage pizza...…..
