[Master P]

BAGEL!!!!!!!

Hagginator

 

[Rschmitz]

That's what we needed, a Hagel goal for the cherry on top

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Get that monkey off your back

 

[Master P]

Vassy haters in absolute shambles.

You love to see it.

Congrats Coop.

 

[Stammertime91]

Hagel scored that ENG for Byrddog

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

A decade in the making! Finally won in Minnesota

 

[Rschmitz]

If Vasy faces the types of shots he seen tonight he's going win almost every game, the Wild have basically no offense.

Our lower lines played very well tonight, our defense is still a trainwreck. Hedman and actually Raddysh were the only two out there making consistently solid plays with the puck defensively.

At this point I'd take Carlisle over CDH when Sergachev or Fleury return

 

[JTBF81]

Sure, Minnesota was far from full strength as well, but getting 2 points in that place, they'll take it anyway they can. Good win and effort! Let's see if they can pull one off in Boston nexf.

 

[T REX]

Rare win in Minny.

I'll take it.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Watched the whole game, and didn't post. But just want to say Carlile looked good. Raddysh finally showed what his small sample size analytics said last season. When ABB is not in the line up, the team does better. I seriously don't see what anyone see's in ABB, but that is just me. The team defense is still bad, its just Minnesota couldn't capitalize. One of the better Vasy games recently. \

I want to see an experiment.

Sheary/Motte/Ace - Cirelli - Kuch
Stammer - Point - Hagel
Jeannot - Paul - Sheary/Motte/Ace
Watson - Glendenning - Sheary/Motte/Ace

I want to see which force is more powerful, Kuch's ability to make a goal out of anything or Cirelli's absolute void of offensive output.

 

[Hoek]

That was way too easy but we needed that

 

[The Gongshow]

Big two points.

lol calm down it’s Minnesota and there down a lot of good players

 

[Sky04]

Dude thinks people don't want their 9.5m goaltender to play like a 9.5m goaltender. Who's upset?

12 year old logic.

Agreed about ABB. He contributes in the odd goal but when he's not on the puck with space, it's a 5v4.

 

[OffBy1]

Carlile looked good for his first NHL game. He'll get a better test against Boston, but we could definitely use some home grown surprise reinforcements. Myers looked decent as well. Vasy also looked sharp, but it was the B team of Minnesota. Let's see them get on the streak they need to actually make the playoffs.

After 40 games watching Sheary, would we really be worse off giving Goncalves, Robert, or Chaffee a shot in his place? I'm trying to think of a single thing Sheary gives us. Defenders in the offensive zone take the puck from him like candy from a baby. Goncalves is supposed to be a good forechecker and have a cannon for a one timer - already sounds better.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Merrimack doesn't send a ton of guys to the NHL.

They've got 2 guys who have reached the AHL this season, and 3 more in the NHL. Brett Seney and Johnathan Kovacevic are the other NHLers. Not exactly household names.

Elite Prospects - Merrimack College - Where are they now?

Current stats and teams of hockey players/almuni that previously played in Merrimack College.

NCAA Hockey, until recently, didn't send a large share of players to the NHL. And smaller non blue blood programs like Merrimack have rarely gotten the level of recruits necessary to send to the NHL. Hard when you're in the same region as the Hockey East & ECAC powers.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Carlile looked tentative for the 1st half of the game but settled in fairly well. Raddysh obviously with a nice game, love to see it. Big 2 points that you needed to have.

 

[OffBy1]

Raddysh played over 25 minutes last night, 2 short of Heddy. We've got our next blueline stud!

They just sent carlile back to the AHL for Thompson

 

[Rschmitz]

They just sent carlile back to the AHL for Thompson

Might just mean Sergachev is back but not Cernak. Very excited to see him in the lineup though

Sergachev is on LTIR, he won't be back for minimum 8 more days.

 

[DaBolts]

We only won because Raddysh PRODUCed !!!

 

[Rschmitz]

Sergachev is on LTIR, he won't be back for minimum 8 more days.

You're right, I missed that they added him.
