lynxrattle Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 They took care of the business. Pretty consistent effort against weakened teams, as it should be. Staal's line players' combined TOI 47:46, Ek's line players' combined TOI 47:16, Galc's line 42:20 and Koivu's line 38:08. Stalock sharp. Let's see how they continue this against stronger teams. How about Fiala on that PP goal! He was like a hound dog, going after, even diving after that puck to keep the PP alive. I think Parise could be a real nice mentor for Fiala, in the sense that both have that admirable persistence when there's a chance to score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClusterChuck Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Nice part about these last 2 games (I was unable to see the previous CBJ game) is all the goals were really good ones. No garbage. A mixture of solid efforts, Good passing and some really nice shots. Fun to see. I'm really enjoying the passing plays lately. A whole new look. Odd thing about Parise's goal. Sure it made it 4-0 but he had no emotion after it. I wasn't expecting a chest to the glass moment but a freaking smile would of been nice. Now that makes me think of last game where he went to town on his stick after missing that breakaway. Was that actual frustration from the missed opportunity or that the trade didn't go through? Poor little Zachy. I feel so bad for Brodin having to babysit Dumba. Another night of carelessness resulting in one of Stalocks tougher saves. Tell me again why if we trade him, He'll become the next Burns?!? Did anyone notice in the Detroit game around 3mn left in the 1st when Brodin gets the puck as he was doing a power crossover from reverse to forward. That was amazing...The last time I tried to do something remotely similar, The next thing I heard from my instructor was "You Ok??"

Agree that there have been some real nice primary assist plays this past week. I thought about Zach's lack of emotion as well. I ended up guessing that it was showing respect to Columbus in a lopsided game. Still agree that at least a smile was in order. I noticed Brodin make a similar power crossover move vs Columbus. Amazing! And I totally agree that Brodin (and Stalock) bailed out Dumba in last night's game. I took a double take when Russo tweeted that both Brodin and Dumba were superb. Well....he was half right!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rottenrefs Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Likely Parise isn't getting a lot of love from the owners sitting on the bench with him after he offered to break his no trade clause. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why Koivu made such a clear statement about his staying with the club, Lol...Who knows what's going on with #11 and #20 overall...So all this may have started last summer, At least with Parise. Both supposidly sold their houses but bought new ones? ...Were both approached during that time about their contracts? Maybe Parise and Suter talked about it with one another while one is interested and the other wasn't...Only way to know for sure is the old 'Fly on the wall' at either BG's office or their agents. Sure, Parise's goal made it 4-0, But it wasn't with 3 minutes to go or some game winner. There was still plenty of game left and 4 wouldn't have been enough against the same team a few nights ago. Just that blank look as he went down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
