If the Wild play like they did the last two games against Anaheim this one is going to be ugly (think Wild vs Colorado). The 'Lettuce line' and Fiala's line needs to simplify their game. Dumba may be back for this one. Enjoy and discuss... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxrattle Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 The Avs' Donskoi said that the wins against the Wild were statement games for them. Now this is a statement game for the Wild. Are we competitive or not? We'll see. And please keep shifts short. It's not funny looking Parise play a 1 min 30 sec shift, but it does not get much better if it's PP1 or Zuccarello. Short shifts translates to speed and accountability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icechipper Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 The Nic line. Love it. Used to coach a pee wee team with 5 Justins on the roster. I could tell "Justin!" and five guys jumped over the boards.... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbgarnett Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) I hate that trail play where the guy is just behind the puck carrier and they make that little back pass that caused an offsides.

ClusterChuck Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 This is a team eyeballing the 3 day break for sure...For the last 3 days also. Going to be a lot of PK time trying to keep up with the fresher faster Blues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClusterChuck Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Since it's pretty slow here, I've got a question. Is this site slow for anyone else? I'm on PC and have windows open to here and NHL66. At game breaks I switch back here and replies take 30 seconds to 1+ minutes to show up at the bottom as unread... Probably my cr4ppy CenturyLink but sometimes I have to go back to the main page to see if there's any new replies in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmptyShelf Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 That was a nice goal. A Johansson sighting. What has it been - 2 months on IR or IRrelevant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
