lynxrattle Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Watching Nashville vs. Florida. 2 on 1's, not working as a close knit five-man unit, not clearing the front of the net. We have it good. It's only for lack of 1C and 2C that we are not right there as a contender. We should grab the points here, no problem. If the will to win is there, the points are right here, up for grabs.

Kahkonen has earned more starts, no doubt about it. The Wild painted itself in the same corner they had with Dubnyk. Pay too much and force yourself to give the veteran too many minutes because of the contract. This will be Talbot's last gig as the designated #1 goalie and the Wild will be the last team to happily pay for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be Talbot's last gig as the designated #1 goalie and the Wild will be the last team to happily pay for it. Kahkonen is clearly the better goalie right now. He is very calm and controlled, and I think he would be wasting time on the bench or in Iowa. He can clearly play and dominate at this level. I like our team better with him in net, too...While money considerations always come into play, I would never let that obstruct the results of the team. Would it make ANY sense to have Parise, Johannson, Bjug or Bonnino in front of Kap due to contract? If not, then you shouldn't do the same thing in goal (letting the $ cloud your decision making upon who the #1 is). For me, it's an easy decision.

bbgarnett Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) I love how they talk about how we got our defense got back on track last night. Like do they not understand that the Coyotes are so much worse than Vegas and that's why our defense didn't look as bad. So our defense didn't get better they just played a much worse team.

bbgarnett Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) I mean sure the KHL is a competitive league but the NHL is a whole different ballgame. So it shouldn't matter if your an 18 or 24 a rookie is still a rookie. To me the determination of an NHL rookie is a player who hasn't played in the NHL IMO.
