lynxrattle Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 The way things look like now, the Avs might be our first playoffs opponent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wild are virtually unbeatable whenever I wear an Avs sweater at the local watering hole. Looking forward to screaming "YAAAAAHHHH!!!" a few times there tonight. I dunno about the rest of the folks on this board, but I have trouble avoiding the trap of getting overly giddy watching the roll we've been on lately. But after enduring years of ineptitude courtesy of the Three Stooges #9, #11 and #20, it sure is nice to find an excuse for joy and giddiness. Thank you, #97!! Now if we could only find a way to unload the two remaining stooges, a.k.a. Laurel and Hardy. Had a strange dream last night: Kaprisov, Granlund and Zucker were on the same line for the Wild. Just when they were about to go on a PP with Spurge and Brodin, the damn alarm went off. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just when they were about to go on a PP with Spurge and Brodin, the damn alarm went off. Interesting, I was thinking recently about Granlund and Zucker and even Nino in our team too. They were noticeable players for our team which were kicked out pretty fast (in seconds) instead of other players who did not have enough energy to play faster. For tonight game we should be strictly avoiding penalty box. They are 13th in NHL on PP, and we are 31st on PP. That is the main difference among both teams.

You can look it from this angle too: when a Wild player is in the box, you don't get to see that stinking horrible PP conducted by Suter. A true blessing in the sky!

Probably, the coaching staff having a different angle of view where to place Suter and where do not. I am thinking he should be not placed in both 1st lines PK and PP. Can Talbot is going to be a starting goalie tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is decent on PK1 only because he cannot move (e.g. pylon). He has NO MEANINGFUL skills to be on PP. He cannot pass well, he shoots like my great-aunt, he has ZERO offensive hockey IQ, and he is selfish and greedy with the puck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmptyShelf Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 With Islanders Captain, Anders Lee, out for the season, they need a new wing/forward....BG should get on the horn and offer to pay 90% of the contract to offlad the Man Baby. I would rather have ANYONE take the TOI from 11 - he offers NOTHING to this team = he is a net negative asset. We also need his spot for expansion draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
