Gibson stood on his head, it happens, to the next one.

I don't know what has happened to the 4th line, but they were garbage last night. The Stewart-Haula-Mitchell experiment clearly didn't work; did Stewart and Mitchell even see the ice in the 3rd?

A couple weeks ago, I found myself commenting at least a few times a game about how the 4th line is having a good shift. Haven't found myself saying that in a while.

Well when things are going bad on the 4th line, time to call up Gabriel... (half-serious)

Yeah, they didn't look great. I saw Boudreau was moving Haula around to different lines in the 3rd period too and I don't remember seeing very much of Stewart or Mitchell. Boudreau is clearly looking for something more out of that line and I'm not sure he's going to get it out of Graovac/Mitchell/Other AHL call-up. You'd have to think it's all but certain we're going to be acquiring another bottom six piece at the TDL.

Olofsson > Reilly

Yep, AINEC.

Yes, I don't find myself hating her nearly half as much as I normally do.

She's no Jamie though. I miss Jamie.

Agreed.

Tuch didn't do too much, kinda sad. Let's see this Downing guy play.

Yep, I think the writing is on the wall. If they can find a relatively cheap bottom six piece that will fit in, I think Boudreau would want to jump all over it.

A bit annoying that the most dominant Wild performance in a while couldn't get on the scoreboard, but a Ducks goalie playing like Brodziak killing a 5 on 3 with no stick, arms, or legs is nothing new.

At least a did-all-the-right-things-but-still-lost game seems different now. Doesn't seem like Boudreau will use it as an excuse to not change anything.

Fletcher and BB are doing everything but beg one of their AHL'ers to step up and fill a role on the team.

It's going to force a trade down GMCF's throat unfortunately.

Cullen or Brodz would sure look good as our 4C xD!

I didn't watch this game, but I am actually pretty high on Olofsson. He does make mistakes but I could see him becoming a Top-4 Guy.
