GDT: Game 69 Our former guys vs our current guys 4/5/22 7 pm

[Armourboy]

Joey's first career hat trick and 20 goals on the season. Hell of a game from the boys.

 

[Kat Predator]

Lots of smiles.

 

[Flgatorguy87]

Kunin is quickly becoming my whipping boy. Really frustrated with his game tonight.

I'll predict he's not with us next year.

 

[Predsanddead24]

Well you’d have to think the Wild would be the ideal matchup for us.

Yeah he’s frustrating for sure especially after such a strong end to last season. What really annoys me is how we’ve kept him on the second line the entire season though.

 

[Armourboy]

I think Kunin will be the man out next season. Just can't see a reason to keep him around rather than giving a younger guy a shot.

 

[Flgatorguy87]

Resign Forsberg and let Kunin walk. We ideally need a single season to bridge...maybe Glass? Evangelista is a damn good distributor and scoring combo that is hopefully the long term option.

Edit: not sure if Kunin is worth his qualifying offer. Was thinking he's due for a deal, right?

Josi is in 10th place with 84 points.

Duchene in 21st place with 72 points.

Forsberg in 27th place with 70 points.

Yes. He's RFA.

Sorry all - in San Diego in meetings and didnt catch a second of this game. I miss anything? We still suck?

 

[GoldOnGold]

Tomasino and Forsberg also had 3 point games tonight, can't forget about them!

Put Tomasino on the 2nd line!

 

[GoldOnGold]

Also very happy Fabbro and Boro are back. Our d is back to operational.

You owe us a lot of FUs that's how it went!!!

 

[Machinehead]

Nice

A victory night is not complete unless we get a atta boy/FU tirade and a side of winner pie!

[Scoresberg]

Duchene was on another level in that game.

 

[weeze]

Seemed like the Preds played with purpose and a chip last night. Hope it carries over for the remaining games. Ott is next and may be a trap game with FLA/Pitt on a back2Back this weekend. That has the potential to be brutal.

If they can play like they did last night then they can play with anyone!

 

[Kat Predator]

Duchene was on another level in that game.

He had a few 'Wow! I can't believe he did that!" moments. Really nice to see him have a great game and bounce back in a huge way this season. All props to him for sure.

the long stick play where he pulled the puck around the outside of the defender behind the net was pretty cool

 

[GeauxPreds1]

I wanna see literally anyone besides kunin on that 2nd line with Granlund and Duchene. I do like the split up and seeing Tomasino on the top line. I could see that line really jelling. Kunin has to be moved down. He hasn’t played like a 2nd liner and there isn’t a reason to keep him there. I hope hynes is tinkering with that 2nd line and trying things. I wanna see tolvanen on that line tomorrow. And I wanna see him with a shooting mentality. If we can get that 2nd line going and not miss a beat on the top line I can see good things happening. I’d go
Forsberg Johansen Tomasino
Tolvanen Granlund Duchene
Jeannot Sissons Trenin
Cousins McCarron Kunin

 

[Armourboy]

Kunin is irritating because if he played the game he did in the last playoffs he would be doing well. We finally saw him go to the net a bit lastnight and get a chance or two, but if he isn't going to do that consistently then he is basically a 4th liner. He needs to be a poor man's Hornquist basically.

 

[Coachcorner]

Does y'all se like rittich starting tomorrow night against the senators?

 

[sparkle twin]

I really think the wild tried to out-Predator the Predators!
Instead, they got their shit run.


Saros made some incredible, game-saving stops in the third.

Can't belive that was Johansen's first career HT.
