EmptyShelf Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Do you think that 20 knows that he just isn't good anymore in crunch time? Or, is he still in a delusion that he is a 'Top' defense man? Stats and results don't lie....He is a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandron Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 We badly need speedy shooters in OT but not slow turtles. Why BB did not tried Zucker, Fiala, Hunt? Or Zucker, Kunin, Brodin? If he likes to start with 2D, then he should start with Dumba, Hunt and Zucker or Fiala. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreaseAndAssist Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Deja Vu Again For the Wild in 3-2 Overtime Loss to the Rangers As soon as you saw Suter out there for 3 on-3 you knew it was going to lead to disaster. Then Ek too? Uh ok. (sigh) I sometimes wonder if Bruce is trying to get fired with moronic choices like that or does Suter just say he's going out there and he throws his arms up because he knows he's BFF's with Leipold. Either way, that has to stop...putting #11 and #20 out there in OT is costing this team points because they don't have the speed and quickness to play 3-on-3. On the bright side, nice goal by Donato...almost like what we saw late last season from him. Overall I though the effort was just ok tonight...Stalock probably kept us in it longer than we deserved to be there. Then in OT we just threw it away as usual. I have a full game impressions an Iowa WIld extended report and prospect news too... Enjoy! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is NOT an open ice player. A hockey mom could see this.... Exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmptyShelf Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Our top Scorer is tied for 81st in the league. That about sums up our issues on offense. Moreover, we have have 5 players (coincidentally, many of our highest paid) that are double-digit minus in +/-. That pretty much sums up why we are tied for third to last in the league.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimtown guy Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Does Boudreau want to get fired for sending those 3 out to start overtime? I absolutely don’t get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxrattle Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I guess it's time to start looking for a new head coach. If it's BB who makes the decision of playing the sleds in OT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping BB decisions are subtle sabotage to give us a better draft pick. If not Bruce is part of the problem. Why thank you! Sabotage? I doubt it. It would mean he's been sabotaging for a couple of years now and to what end. But yeah, some would say that was a good tank loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it possible BB can't teach them how to play it? Spurgeon, Hunt and Brodin - they are the only acceptable D-men in OT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch the game so obviously you know better how Stalock played but he looked pretty shaky on that OT goal. He kind of was reading DeAngelo would try the glove side and was fooled by the shot on the blocker side. A goalie with a cool head would've just hold his ground and possibly save that shot.

Just saying I've seen tougher shots go in. Stalock is a good goalie but I can't see him as a #1 or #2 choice for a team that wants to make a very deep run. Well, maybe as that #2 choice if the #1 plays all the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
