GDT: 10/25/15 - Wild @ Jets - 5PM Central/12AM Finland - FSN, FSWI

[Minnesota]

Goaltending concerns me.

 

[puckMAN]

Was that 3 turnovers by Vanek in the last 45 seconds?

Or other guys not being in the right spots.

 

[Tony253]

How much better chance did Mikko think he would create by dishing when he was high slot with no one between him, the goalie & the 4x6?

Shooting from that far out was a lower percentage play than giving it to Parise.

And Trouba was there.

 

[hipchecks]

Not a bad result for the 2nd game on a back to back. Sucks that Dubnyk even had to come into this one, especially since he's nursing some soreness.

 

[Shimoe]

Well we can beat the Jets but we can't beat Kuemper. The Kuemper experiment is, and has been, OVER! Should we risk him on waivers? Put him on waivers and pray someone takes him.

Would rather run Dubnyk+Backstrom at this point. At least Backstrom is a serviceable backup. Kuemper is totaled.

The way Zach has been playing, OK...But it looked like he had another stride in to work with before D closed...if nothing else, shoot for rebound chance.

 

[llamapalooza]

How does it work, whoever gives up the GWG gets the L?

Yup. IMO it should be the goalies on the ice for the last lead change rather than the GWG (more similar to how it works in baseball), but them's the breaks.

Honestly can't complain too much. Silver lining, the money players really did play like the money players. Koivu, Parise, Suter, Vanek, all of 'em looked great.

Kemps belongs in the ahl

 

[PariseNation]

I think not having a time out at the end hurt us. Vanek is a great PP player but Pominville has more chemistry/experience on that first unit. Pommer had just been hit by the Buff Train and couldn't get out there for a minute or two.

 

[123TripleDoge]

was it the ref who was chewing out buff after that dirty hit? heard an f bomb too

such a POS

 

[AlphaLackey]

Jets fan coming in peace. Just wanted to apologize for that hit by Buff at the end of the game. I was pretty livid when I saw it, I can only imagine how you guys felt. Exploiting late-game officiating standards is one thing but that could easily have injured. No need for that in the game.

 

[StealthClobber]

I think not having a time out at the end hurt us.

Oh man I totally forgot about that.

And now we have no timeout for the rest of the game. With the way this game has started, I am not a huge fan of that.

Posted that after the second Jets goal. If we only had known how the end of the game would turn out...

Pominville came when Dubnyk got to bench so almost immediately. Also Russo confirmed right knee injury to Dubnyk.

Seriously

Seriously

Seriously. I was disgusted by it. And for him to then beak at the ref for calling it made it worse.

How many 'good' there is

Why is that guy trashing our away crowds?

Fact that Dubnyk played through probably means it's nothing.

 

[StealthClobber]

 

[StealthClobber]

Dubnyk played pretty well in his time in the game. His goal against was not his fault really, and he made some key stops to keep us in the game. So if he says he's fine, I'll believe him (because there is not a better alternative to him at this point).

Jets fan here

Buff needs to get a call from the NHL. Probably the worst hit i've seen from a jet in terms of the decision to make the hit.

also **** this division, but in a nice way

 

[HollaHaula]

The determination in this team is amazing. Glad they didn't give up and made it very close at the end.

Kuemper needs to be sent down and honestly if someone picked him up I probably wouldn't even care. I don't like Backstrom but at least I know I will be consistently getting crap goaltending playing him rather than the 20% chance of a good game from Kuemper.

To say it's a bloodbath would be an understatement!
