Challenge could go either way.

Challenge could go either way.

Not even close. FULL control.

 

[NHL1674]

Four point lead with 3 games in hand would be a nice way to start the break.

 

[Minnesota]

Truth.

 

[Hall of Faber]

4 pts up on CHI. Soon they have 8 of 9 on the road. I'll be disappointed if we arnt 10+ up on them when we get to the bye week and catch them in games.

 

[guitarhunterdude]

Didn't catch the full game, but from what I saw zone exits in particular looked way better tonight than they have recently. Less chucking it up to get a change, more calm, methodical puck movement. They may still struggle to move the puck quickly enough against faster teams, but it's a step in the right direction.

That fourth goal at the beginning of the third killed STL. This year's edition of the Wild is shooting far more than they used to. When Zucker didn't shoot and passed to Koivu when he was in front of the net that reminded me of how the Wild used to play.

The Staal line isn't their usual self...Coyle especially.

Haula line definitely looking spritely. Poms playing well, Parise playing hard but still fighting it, Haula looking much better....defensively good, but dangerous offensively.

Koivu line looking terrific. All of them.

I'm not going to talk about the defense, except to say that Suter and Spurgeon are great. Both understand how to add offense without sacrificing defence. Wonderful stuff.

 

[CROCODILE SEATS]

Always good to slap around the Blues. We were flying around tonight

 

[Wabit]

Prosser had a good game. Solid minutes for a bottom pair player.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

What's crazy is that we had the only 5 lucky goals in the entire NHL tonight; every other goal was incredibly skilled against a perfect defense and elite goaltending.

I think I'm starting to be convinced.

Drives me crazy how underrated Spurge is on these boards.

Is that you Mike Millbury?

The one plane I want to see fly is a real "Zero". There are only a handful left that 'might' be operational. 10k+ of them made, an any that survived WWII had to be destroyed.

I saw a Fokker DR1 triplane at an airshow once, painted like the Red Baron (of course). And I have worked on a couple of biplanes. It's really amazing the innovation in flying that's happened from 1917 (triplanes) to 1983 (F/A-18).

I try and get to Oshkosh every year for EEA airshow. The workshops there are great (for me), but the kid and wife go to see the airshows.

Real cool stuff! I've seen (flying) MiG 21's and Drakens (in my childhood) and in airshows planes like Fouga Magister, F-18 Hornet, DC-3, DC-4, T-6 Texan (or was it actually Harvard..?) and.. Hawker Hurricane in Finnish colors. That was really something! Zero would be huge, like Spitfire, Mustang, Corsair, Tempest, Mosquito, P-38 etc..

Back to the topic. Couldn't stay awake but watched the game now. Amazing! So solid in everything! 'member when Blues were scary? I 'member! Well, they're not anymore.

Nice to see PHP-line having a good game in the both ends and they're getting it going. Nino was beasting! I've been thinking several times that in this game Granny won't have any more points, but he's still okay.. well then it happens, 1+1.

Because of depth, it's actually ok that they take turns. Staal and Coyle are a cold now, but it doesn't matter. And Boudreau is coaching them beautifully. Doesn't matter what the name is in the back.. if you don't produce, you get less time. And those who produce get a bit more. It doesn't even feel like a penalty, just the way it should be. It may even lessen the pressure sometimes when needed. But then, when you get it going, you know you're gonna get more chances.

And defense + Dubnyk, solid! Real nice.

Just watched the game. All I can say is:

 

[00xtremeninja]

Someone please tell me there is a gif from when Parise got called for hooking and you could see Bruce clearly say "you've got to be f****** kidding me!"

 

[FVM]

Watched the highlights. Man, this team.

ALL. WE. DO. IS. WIN.

This is why we when a heck of a lot of games, most of our charts look like this....

Good Guys

[DANOZ28]

dubnyk awesome 2 games in a row. blues were coming off a shutout over the pens & their goalie was hotter than a pistol so that was an impressive win. when i watch tarasenko i keep thinking about kaprizov coming here someday & playing like that. edit i was not happy with the zebras last night no calls on 2 trips & parise bleedin all over the ice! @@@@THAT!

BTW - you forgot to list one that you see flying quite frequently... MiG-64!
