lynxrattle Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 It's a new situation for the Wild. I guess we haven't seen a player like this since Gaborik. He will get a lot of crosschecks etc. How to protect him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Doughty is "assigned" to him by the LA bench and for the most part, Kap is making a mockery of Drew's coverage. Doughty may resort to more.......unsavory tactics than he has shown already. Minnesota 4th liners need to be on the look out for that stuff...maybe even start the pre-emptive strikes themselves by pounding some LA forwards along boards and at the blue lines. Keep the focus away from Doughty on Kaprizov. It's really too bad we don't have Koivu back to HANDLE Doughty's antics.....You didn't think I was serious, did you? I mean he would level some pleasantries at him from 30 feet while jumping on the bench. Doughty would be quivering all the while... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the focus away from Doughty on Kaprizov. I think you are right. He is assigned to him by LA bench. Douhty should be next for the Foligno control and care .

Probably not popular on these boards, but Fiala is a bit too much 'flash', not enough substance for me. I say, if he can raise his value high enough, trade him to someone who doesn't see his turnover and decision making flaws, and get a nice player or two for other needs of the team for him. Fiala is great when he is going full speed ahead and shooting....pretty mediocre any other time, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynxrattle Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Our PP is too predictable. 5 vs 5 it's really tough to know what they are going to do, but PP... too stagnant, too little movement, too few unpredictable changes in roles during the shifts.

Couple of times when Eek or Greenway were in front of the net creating a mask, he made a pass instead of taking a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
