Post-Game Talk: Minnesota 6, Vancouver 3: Hat-trick for Granlund. Their Granlund.

[JuniorNelson]

It didn't look good. The lack of dynamics in the third is like a death knell for the season.

 

[Kryten]

Let's just say I **** myself and was in bed by 8.

 

[valkynax]

At least Granlund played more minutes than Granlund.

Take that!

Hey come on now I was in diapers when the 90's started but I can still recognize greatness/very goodness lol.

heh, I'm wearing diapers now cause I'm so old.

 

[PG Canuck]

Possibly... he just said your Granlund... what if his dream had MiG in a Canuck uniform and MaG in a Wild uniform by mistake?

It's very easy to mix the two Granlund's up, they are basically the same player!

 

[CanaFan]

Come on!

Jyrki Lumme

Oh you ******* you did a ninja edit.

Glad I did. Woulda been embarrassed to have missed that one.

Larsen - Trammer were bad, real bad.

Miller had an off night.

Horvat scored a beaut

We've got the wrong Granlund.

 

[604]

Larsen matched against their Granlund at home in a close game tells me that we must be intentionally tanking.

There's no way that happens if the Canucks are actually trying to win right?!?

 

[Tobi Wan Kenobi]

lol I can't stand this regime and their ego's. They were high on Larsen and they're doubling down. Will cost them games

 

[tantalum]

I got the feeling the Wild were sort of sleep walking through the game at least defensively. And still they put up 6 (could have been more) and nearly 40 shots. It was an easy win for them.

The right Granlund got more points last night than the wrong one has had in his last 11. Difference between good and meh.

 

[Zaddy91]

first game i watched in weeks. glad the intentional larsen chaput skille tank effort by willie is in full effect.

 

[Ryp37]

Could there could be a clause in Larsen's contract that guarantee's him a minimum amount of games?

Then again this is the same team that kept trodding Bartkowski out over and over.

 

[vancityluongo]

Mikael Granlund has four pts with less minutes than Markus Granlund

Missed the game and was too lazy to look at the full stat sheet, so thank you. This is all I needed to know.

Really, this is probably all anyone needs to know about the Canucks.

WD's post-game interviews recently are hilarious: "Wow, man the other team is just so good. Did you see how good those guys are? Wish we were that good."*

*Note: This is a broad, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, summary of recent post-game comments.

To be fair, that is a completely reasonable thing for him to feel. Though he'd probably still overplay Megna and Larsen regardless.

Even when you take away his favourite toys (eg., Vey, Dorsett, etc.,), he'll find some other substitute. AHL coach.

Yeah it's funny because if you break it down what's he's actually saying is the roster sucks. He's really close to saying: "We tried our best, but we don't have the players." Well actually, in the presser after this game he pretty much did say that.

heh, I liked Keenan's way of addressing that (not so subtle )....there was the game he kept on pulling the goalie (even after the other team kept scoring on the empty net).

Course, Burkie had the last laugh - don't try to make a fool out him on TV.

 

[pahlsson]

keeping wd this long is probably managements smartest decision so far

 

[pahlsson]

at least from a self preservation perspective

 

[Intoewsables]

Mikael Granlund has four pts with less minutes than Markus Granlund

The Jim Benning years in a nutshell?

 

[VanJack]

Not sure why Miller gets a pass in the game....first awful game in awhile...but that won't stop Willie from trotting him out there for a majority of the upcoming road-trip.

Probably just as well....we never win on the road with Miller in goal...Willie is our 'stealth' or 'accidental' tank commander....whatever works.

He wasn't good on a couple of the goals but had zero help on the others. Granlund (the good one) was all alone right beside the net for one of his goals, Koivu scored from about two feet away from the same spot while also totally alone...the glaring problem is still the team in front of the goalie imho. Too many holes, too many passengers, too little skill, too little strength, not enough bloody anything.

Hansen back was a revelation. No, don't put him with Horvat or anything. No, that's wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too obvious.

 

[Horse McHindu]

good song.

My attempt at being humorous backfired unfortunately.

I've had that god damn song in my head for the past 14-15 hours now.

 

[NoShowWilly]

It was nuts how much space the wild had once the entered the zone. Again and again the seas would part to a high % shot.
