Legit win!
All it took was a gphr513 GDT.
The whole team needed this. Very good effort by a lot of guys and Stalock looked solid.
Now, build on this and get some momentum going during these last few regular season games.
Boudreau's wife should probably start to get worried about Brucie's relationship with Stewart. Starting to get really curious. He was trash just about everytime he played in the top9 for the Wild. Yet Boudreau plays him in the top9 over and over again. Even with the playoffs about to start he's still producing the same nonsense we've seen for weeks now. Annoying. He has no clue. Not surprised this man has a history of failing in the playoffs. Since months he's talking about finding consistent lines and how he doesn't like to juggle lines. He continues to do the exact opposite though. Who does he think he is? Cooper? Quenneville? Even in Chicago there's more consistency than here. The only thing he came up with in over 70 games is the the Koivu line. Everything else is just a random mess he at times even mixes up every other period. Pathetic. If you know what you're doing, like Quenneville or Cooper, that's not too much of an issue. Their players know exactly what's going on. I'd bet my house that Boudreau has no plan whatsoever...he's probably just flipping coins ahead of games. With playoffs just around the corner, the lineup is still a total mess. Good luck trying to fix that...
I liked Stalock's game tonight but it made me miss Harding. I really like athletic goalies. They may get beat because of positioning from time to time but they are great at reaction saves and playing the puck. Dubnyk has been good for us but he is terrible playing the puck and can be beat on saves that an athletic goalie could save
I'm sitting on the left side of the couch for the remainder of 2017. It got the Bulldogs to the frozen four so it must work.
Anyone else happy with Folin? Not that he was amazing or anything, but he adds a solid, physical presence that is nice to have around.

I know that feeling. It's been long time since watching Kipper, Thomas, types. Just refreshing to see something different in the era of positional monsters. There's something I miss in goaltending. Not saying what is the most effective way, just a breath of fresh air.
Would be nice to see few more Quick, Saros, Stalock type of fellows in the NHL. I mean, you don't have to go full Khudobin though..
