Doing Nothing
Solid game last night. There were a ton of posts and chances for both teams but the Wild actually didn't just rely on pure luck and actually scored on the PP.
Is it just me, or do you want to see Parise-Granlund-Pominville?
Coyle and Haula are brutal in the dot right now:
Konopka 65.7%
Koivu 55.7%
Granlund 51.8%
Brodziak 48.9%
Haula 40.4%
Coyle 40.4%
That's going to be a problem when the playoffs come around. As bad as Konopka was, he was awesome in the dot. If you're going to have a fourth line that is going to get pucks deep and be disruptive, you have to win draws and not chase around the other team.
Also, how terrible was Rupp? Three penalties that cost the team a goal. Wild were playing well when they were using their speed and skill. When they started getting physical and slowing down to play to Anaheim's level, they let them right back in it.
Great game from Kuemper as well.
