GDT: 01/05/17 - Wild @ Sharks - 9:30 PM CT / 5:30 AM Finland - FS-N

[Minnesota]

Just watched replays.

Parise hustled all game; great to see improvement.

Koivu absolutely stepped up. Both of his goals were skilled, and clutch.

i bailed after 2 periods dangit. despite dubnyk making some unbelievable saves he still gaveup 4GA for a 3rd game in a row.(red flag?) glad the wild boyz rallied im sure thx to BB. ps i must admit staal is doing way better than RNH would have.

Re-watching the highlights - man it sounds like there were a bunch of Wild fans there.

Good road win. Looks like Dubnyk is fighting the puck a bit, let's hope he gets back on track because we're not built to score 5 goals a game.

DeBoer reminds me of Karl Pilkington

Read this while watching it last night and couldn't picture him without a bag of Monster Munch from then on.




This just isn't the team I'm used to. I used to know how these games would go once such and such a thing happened. But Boudreau's intermission alchemy is delightful, because goals and winning. It's too bad his options for goalie line tinkering are so limited, since Dubnyk hasn't looked good for a whole game since before Montreal.

There are quite a few MN people out that way. You see the same in AZ too.

Haha good one. It was probably similar moment as in the end of movie 'I love you man'

Also from watching the highlights, Zucker didn't get any goals but he was super important. Speed/hustle drew a PP that Staal scored on, on Koivu's tying goal he drove to the net and tied up Burns to clear the front for Koivu, right before Koivu scored the GWG Zucker set Koivu up right in the slot.

It's impressive how much more rounded Zucker's game has become, and I hope we can keep him around for a while.

 

[Engebretson]

^I was particularly impressed with Zucker on the tying goal. He got the secondary assist on that one, but Zucker's zone entry before making the pass to Granlund that sets up Koivu was excellent.

And he missed the net Parise style, so that Parise had to step up...sneaky.

Just passing by to say... what a game!! BB is indeed amazing

Wow, 5 wins all of last season when the opponent scored first. And 9 already this year, not even half way through yet.

Explains a lot about Yeo's strategy...

 

[Uberdachen]

Yeo had them turtle when the other team took the lead?

I thought he just clenched his jaw even tighter and said "No, we're doing the right things, so do. Them. Harder."

 

[HollaHaula]

"Just gotta keep playing the system."

 

[TaLoN]

Last season...all about clicks and division in the lockerroom...this is very different!

 

[tomgilbertfan]

 

[TaLoN]

You mean... "Just stick to the system and things will work out"... didn't work out?

Haven't posted here in awhile, but I figured you guys would appreciate this! Got to go to the Wild game and got a nice shot of Koivu's game-winner!

Nice angle on that pic! Too bad Granlund's wizard of a pass was blocked from the view.

 

[JudgeJimmie]

Thanks! I agree, I was too busy watching the play, and just had my phone blindly snapping pictures at the net! Had great seats since I can't go to my typical 3-4 games a year I just splurge on 1!
