Well, they won, and look like they will be in the playoffs unless they have quite the collapse. Still not impressed with them, at all, as a team that might go far in the post season. They should pray that they meet LVK in the 1st round.
Ek looks very good as a 4th liner.
Would like to see Mitchell in place of Ennis. Can't be much worse. Would've liked to have seen more of Kunin.
Murphy and Olofsson made some mistakes, but I still like what i've seen out of them, especially Murphy.
Dumba taking lots of chances. Don't think that will work with teams like WPG and NSH.
Still don't get Coyle on the #2 PP point. Stick Murphy and Brodin out there, and Coyle down low.
I don't think Granlund has been playing all that well.
Parise? Meh. Can't pass for beans, can't shoot. Good with his stick, I guess, on tips ins, etc., but not what he once was. A high end Ennis.
Koivu has been good, and has been the best on the team defensively of all the forwards, though Ek is showing well.
In general, the forwards just don't seem to take care of the puck well in the neutral zone compared to previous years. I think that's a main reason for our relatively poor GA's record.
Is Dubnyk to proud to go to Stalock and get lessons on how to handle the puck? Is the coaching staff too stupid the difference between the two in that regard? A little thing, I guess, but I swear, if Doobs rims the puck around the boards to a winger from the opposite team I'm going to lose it.
