GDT: Game 65 - Wild @ Avs - 8PM Central / 4AM Finland - FSN

[Bazeek]

I need coffee.. So much coffee..

Looks like you picked a good one to wake up early for

 

[ref88]

That was a huge gaffe by Skilliter.

 

[NHL1674]

How is that not a penalty? Holding much? Giving him a bear hug?

 

[Bazeek]

Nice, 10 seconds of a powerplay.

 

[NHL1674]

 

[Bazeek]

Start the 2nd playing like they're afraid to wake the baby, but Eriksson-Ek draws a penalty. Kind of a soft call, though.

 

[Bazeek]

Whoooole lotta nothin' on the powerplay, then the Avs make it 3-0. MacKinnon line vs the rookie line ends predictably.

 

[Wild11MN]

Well.. have a good night ya'll. At least I have MacKinnon on one of my fantasy teams?

 

[Bazeek]

Ha, MacKinnon makes it 4-0. Got 'em right where we want 'em.

 

[Wild11MN]

I think it may be offside.

 

[Bazeek]

5-0. Have fun, Stalock!

 

[57special]

What was Staal doing there, trying to screen Dubnyk?

 

[NHL1674]

I go hit the treadmill, come back and now it's 5-0?!!! How far are their heads up their arses? This is why I'm glad we didn't do anything stupid at the TDL. This club is way too jekyll and hyde to make a run this year. Oh look! It's 6-0! Do I hear 10?

Welcome back, Blues. The door is wide open.

[Lapa]

Thank god I woke up for this.

Smh

 

[NHL1674]

I may just have to go back to the treadmill. Work off the frustration. BB's post game should be good.

 

[Wabit]

Not to derail this lively thread too much, but since I can't watch the game, I'm flipping through a few other games.
-Watching the Flames broadcast to see how Stewie looked (he looks like he's in the pressbox). I found a color commentator I dislike more than Walz (hard to do). Cassie Campbell-Pascall, she's knowledgeable and pretty unbiased, but really monotone. It's hard to listen to for me.
-Reilly looked good for MTL. I really like Lidgren in net for MTL.
-FLA looked good, but it was against Buffalo, so that's not hard to do.

Yeah, I'm turning this one off. Make some tea, read a book.

 

[57special]

Winnik is not a very good hockey player.

 

[57special]

Maybe it's time for BB to coach a bit? Like he starts the game off with the Staal line against Mackinnon, when Koivu is our shutdown C? Coyle and Nino aren't much good for scoring, so maybe they can play defense?

 

[NHL1674]

Crazy idea, but how about we try to make this game respectable? See how close we can make it, eh? Just for fun.

Agreed....Koivu needs to shadow their top guy. That's his freaking job. And I still have to question how much is Nino really hurt? If he's still limping a bit off the ice, then sit his behind.

Nothing he can do about the first shift matchup in an away game. Bad coaching would be starting the kids line or the 4th line.

 

[HwT]

Just woke up, saw the score, now back in bed. Good night.

It's almost like Colorado has these games circled on their calendar and the Wild are treating them like any other game.
