Ek got away with obvious interference on the Zucker goal

2 points in 6 games playing alongside Parise & Koivu isn't very good. He's also getting prime top-6 minutes, and PP time. Parise can enjoy playing with him til the cows come home, but they shouldn't stay together unless they produce.

It's only been 2 games with Parise/Koivu. The others were a rotating door of Stewie, Pommer, warm body at times. Parise was with Staal/Coyle.

Koivu line got tasked with shutting down Boston's only true scoring line. They did pretty well at that imo.

I'm not a Granny fan, and think he needs to do a lot more, but he's out of position from where he's played the last few years and in a completely different system.

Top heavy minutes for the top 2 lines. The 3rd and 4th lines came in and made the most of their 10 mins ToI against Bos weaker lines. Not bad bench management by BB.

Players don't have a nickname for Eriksson Ek yet?

Oak would be the obvious choice, or acorn.

We're now 3-0 when I don't watch. I'm sensing a pattern.

I think Suter has taken more slap shots this year then he did all of last year

 

[Minnewildsota]

I think Suter has taken more slap shots this year than he has in all his time in Minnesota

I think this is more accurate.

From Russo's gamer:

Bruce Boudreau wasn’t paying attention, saying, “I couldn't even get his name out. I was calling him, Yool, Joel, Ekky, Erik. Then somebody called him a name and that'll probably stick.â€

“Ekker,†I believe, is what will stick.

 

[Wabit]

They are talking to each other on the bench? I didn't know that was allowed on the Wild...

 

[Puhis]

Just call the kid "Oak." It's what his name means, plus we can call him Prof. Oak due to his IQ.

 

[AKL]

From Russo's gamer:

Such a typical hockey nickname. Take their name and just add -er or -y.

I like it, but it's far to nuanced a nickname for hockey players. I'm betting it's "EK".

Only if you are holding the talking stick

 

[Lapa]

Nice to see Ek with three assists.

 

[W75]

Wow, great game! Joey Jool Juel Jelly Eriksen Ekker Ekström was brilliant!

Only thing those Bruins' commentators. Didn't remeber they were that blind and irritating defensive homers. Was painful to listen at times.

The game was nice, Boston is in trouble though.

Edit:

Wow... I forgot how ****ing infuriating the Bruins' announcers were. Jesus H. Gretzky

Yeah. Sounds I wasn't the only one watching Boston's feed..

 

[StealthClobber]

From the man himself, LaPanta did indeed have something wrong with his throat tonight.

Dang it. Well, the subtle goal call was nice while it lasted.

 

[TZM]

JEE played a really solid game. The Koivu-Granlund duo sucks. Split them.

 

[Minnesota]

With the score at 5-0, we should have given him a few shifts. CBA rules be damned!

 

[tomgilbertfan]

 

[W75]

3 games, 4 points. In pace of 109 points in 82 games. Damned visa problems!

 

[Wild11MN]

I'm confused, did he misuse the word "regardless"?
