Hartman wasn't/isn't the problem.

 

[AKL]

Zuccarello loves passing more than anyone else I know loves anything

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Arghhhhh, so close again.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Man... that was nearly a great pass fron zucc and goal from Rossi

 

[f7ben]

So we are losing in a shoot out then eh?

 

[Roman Maroni]

Just a bananas turnaround from the games we watched last year. I love it.

Gotta be careful with the positive remarks…..
The tank commander is catching on……

 

[Digitalbooya]

FFS, stop trying to hurt Sundkvist

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Oh boldy.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Welp, thats not ideal. It was a follow through, thats not reviewable though.

 

[Sweetnut]

Hartman wasn't/isn't the problem.

Hold your horses, never said that. Just stating the facts, lol

 

[Spurgeon]

It is so stupid that knicking a player like that is a 4 minute minor when there are some egregious whacks to the face that don’t cause blood that are just 2 minutes.

 

[NHL1674]

He ain't wrong. Can't imagine what the problem is....

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Hold your horses, never said that. Just stating the facts, lol

That's fair. I probably interpreted it wrong!

 

[AKL]

He ain't wrong. Can't imagine what the problem is....

Not sure it's the "top line", might just be Zuccarello

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Oh wow, that Gus blocker.

 

[Spurgeon]

He ain't wrong. Can't imagine what the problem is....

Ek has quickly developed from Koivu-lite to surpassing Koivu

 

[Sweetnut]

Gus is battling, great job dude

 

[Roman Maroni]

Tell me because I never had the chance to play and started following hockey at about 50.

What are they doing different on the kill tonight vs the rest of the season. Is it the Wild or more of what the Blues aren’t doing…..

 

[Minnesota]

St. Louis looks like dookie, how are they a positive team

 

[NHL1674]

Not sure it's the "top line", might just be Zuccarello

That was the point. It's that pairing....

That said, I fail to see how Boldy was out hurt and suddenly forgot to how play the best way he knows how.......is he dealing with a nagging injury or is he just doing a "Kaprizov"?

 

[Spurgeon]

Killing a 4 minute minor there is quite the statement for the league’s worst PK.

 

[AKL]

Gus is back

They brought back the aggressive kill that we played last year and to start this season, where we pressure the puck carrier rather than maintain a net front diamond structure. When the Wild play well it does take very high level execution to beat it, but when it gets beat it looks ugly.

 

[Minnesota]

So… the TV crew & Russo are obviously going to give Hynes credit for the win, right? Feels inevitable.
