[Dr Jan Itor]

Weird.

Vanek/Brodziak/Fontaine was on a roll; I think Yeo just wanted to keep them together.

 

[NHL1674]

We have the shooting power. Just look at the total shots on goal we've had his year. Just sucks that now the blue line is getting hurt...possibly 2 of the top 4....and our goaltending is still a question. Keumper looked a bit better late in the game, but he was weak at hugging that post tonight. That Rangers' game really shook him.

I think Koivu and Vanek are gonna do much better apart.

 

[Avder]

I liked how our 2nd looked tonight.

Hell if Vanek and Brodz somehow keep doing what they were doing...

I guess I'm just not seeing what you're seeing with Kuemper. I thought he played very well; made some absolutely huge saves.

And will give us even more depth.

 

[57special]

Yeo is certainly going to have some new line combinations to think about. Koivu, Zucker, Coyle looked great. Vanek, Brodz? Who could've predicted that? Maybe it's a one time thing, but fun while it lasted.

Marleau still scares me. what a dangerous player.

 

[Lennu32]

Almost 50 SOG for the Wild. Crazy.

Niemi was good tonight. Granny was not

 

[TaLoN]

The Wild have over 40 shots on goal in 4 of their 9 games this year already... this is unheard of for this franchise!

Niemi was good tonight. Granny was not

The whole top line struggled... that will happen at times, that's why good teams have scoring depth.

 

[Sarge58]

Who woulda thunk it before the game, the rare first star of the game for Brodz. Didn't think he'd get one this year or at least before he would get traded.

 

[Paul Bunyan]

Glad to see them make the move and put speed on all the lines, that's the key to this offense working.

Once they switched it up a bit more, they came back. Fantastic game to be at.

5-0-0 this season for me. Shame no games until the end of November now.

I love the game even more because of Koivu's play! This game after talk of his game legitimately being a cause of concern!

This looks like the beginning of his bounce back to form.

Didn't Heatley have a good couple of weeks with Brodziak? I seem to remember those two having some chemistry early in Heatley's career here.

5-0-0? How is that possible after only 4 home games?

 

[Hall of Faber]

5-0-0? How is that possible after only 4 home games?

He went to one preseason game.

 

[BigT2002]

5-0-0? How is that possible after only 4 home games?

Preseason. I'm 3-0-0, all regular season. Apparently I have a guy in my section who just screams "go wild!" all damn game.....I'm not amused.

 

[TaLoN]

Pre-season doesn't count.

 

[JamesRanger]

Brodziak should be out of the doghouse with his performance tonight. Glad to see it. Even at the worst of times last season he was at least a solid 4th liner.

 

[Paul Bunyan]

Pre-season doesn't count.

Totally does.

Have to take the Ws when I can get them.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

9 shots has to be a single game record for Koivu, yeah?

 

[TaLoN]

Totally does.

Have to take the Ws when I can get them.

It's practice... the W doesn't count for the team, it doesn't count for you. You were there... a game that meant nothing was played that they won, but didn't win anything.

You are 3-0-0 this year.

 

[Blizzard6411]

It's a wreck, I'll give you that.

I wish they'd brought up Blum instead of Falk.

I don't get the Blum resistance. He played very well when up last year and is clearly better than Falk and Prosser.

 

[TaLoN]

Yeo has an obsession with size. Blum isn't big enough considering the lack of "size" in the top 4.

 

[Avder]

I could care less about size, all I care about is that our 3rd pairing is **** right now and Blum would help remedy that.

 

[TaLoN]

9 shots has to be a single game record for Koivu, yeah?

Russo's gamer says that tied Koivu's single game best.

I could care less about size, all I care about is that our 3rd pairing is **** right now and Blum would help remedy that.

I didn't say I agreed with him, I was just pointing out what Yeo thinks.

 

[Randy BoBandy]

thats correct.

I dont see vanek and brodzys offense continuing but it is nice while it lasts
