GDT: 1/14/21 Game 1: Minnesota Wild @ Los Angeles Kings - 9 PM CT - FS-N

[P10p]

Rask looked really good out there.

 

[Lapa]

Kap with a GWG, book it

Almost too easy.

[thestonedkoala]

Did anyone notice that the 3rd goal for LA was off of Soucy's stick?

 

[mattihp]

Was there any line juggling, particularly with the centers?

yeah, Rask subbed in for Bjugstad for at least some of the third.

Maybe this is some kind of money ball.. Together the four centers can make up for not having a first line center man

 

[thestonedkoala]

I hope that Guerin is kicking the tires on some centers, because I think we've only seen the surface of what Kaprizov can do.

He is just waiting for Rossi to get healthy

I hope we don't burn a year off his ELC.

 

[TheSauceBoss]

I hope we don't burn a year off his ELC.

If he can win faceoffs and contribute, I have no qualms with burning it.

 

[BagHead]

I notice the biggest smile Kap gave after that goal was for Dumba, and that the biggest celebration came from Dumba. I know it makes a lot of sense to trade him but, man, if we do we're going to be missing something bigger than just his skill set.

KK was real close to getting blown up by Carter on that first assist when he cut to the middle. Hopefully he makes note of the close call and avoids doing it against someone who will lay the wood.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Can't like this enough.

No, you don’t stop someone from driving the middle.

Came across this on Twitter and put it in the Kaprizov thread. Turns out you beat me to the punch! Wonderful stuff.

We need more players taking a chance like this. He'll learn, but skilled players tend to play a little more reckless, because often the reward > risk

everyone needs to be cutting to the middle not staying on the perimeter.

 

[chchelseII]

Johansson can’t even get to the celebration in a timely manner.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

This is a game we would’ve lost last year with Dubnyk in net. Talbot wasn’t stellar, let in a couple soft ones, but he made some big saves as well and posted a .912 which is way better than Dubnyk .890 average last year

 

[GuerinUp]

Im predicting 3 points for the russian savior

I'd like to point out, i called it

Exactly, imagine how good Bouchard could've been had he done such a thing.

Bump

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Pretty awesome but a lot of that lineup last night......yeesh. Thank god there are some fun players but this team is all brilliant or brutal.

 

[TaLoN]

Bump

Wasn't really a bump, since this thread was already active...
