GDT: 11/26/16 - Wild @ Blues - 7 PM CT / 3 AM Suomi - FSN

[Minnesota]

Parise, you're supposed to open up the 5-hole before shooting at it.

 

[gphr513]

Damnit.

 

[NHL1674]

 

[gphr513]

Mikael. Need you buddy.

 

[FVM]

****ing Perron

 

[gphr513]

Damn.

We need shootout practice lol

 

[NHL1674]

WTF, Granlund?

Doesn't matter. We got a point.

 

[josephwild123]

why the hell wouldnt you put Staal out to shoot? So stupid.

 

[Minnesota]

 

[Wabit]

Really bad shootout. At least hit the goalie and not miss the net.

 

[gphr513]

Well, only lost 1 point, I guess.....

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I'll take the point.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

Mother *******

 

[melinko]

Our big shooters let us down. Parise/Koivu were among the tops in the NHL in shootout% on high volume.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Really bad shootout. At least hit the goalie and not miss the net.

Both accomplish the same...

 

[FVM]

Granlund never recovered from his shootout fail against Sweden in 2012 World Juniors

 

[StealthClobber]

Koivu never tries any other move. I don't know why or why the coaches consistently put him out for shootouts because other teams study that **** and always know he's gonna pull that move. Last time I called him out on it I got harped on from posters here "because it works". Well when's the last time you saw it work?

Whatever. Got the point from the 2nd night of a B2B. Can't complain.

 

[Minnesota]

Oh well. Played 1.5 periods well. Walked away with a point.

 

[NHL1674]

I could be wrong, but how successful has Koivu been in the past year or so? He was money for quite a few years, but it feels like he's been missing them a lot more. I would have liked to have seen Staal get a chance.

 

[melinko]

Can't be upset getting a point at the end of a long stretch of games though.

 

[HollaHaula]

This team needs to get rid of the "Wild stink" that plagues them from holding a lead and being clutch. Staal, an outsider, is the only reason we have any late game success. Getting tired of knowing that if we go into overtime we lose.

 

[TaLoN]

why the hell wouldnt you put Staal out to shoot? So stupid.

Really? It's stupid to not put out a player who ranks 199th amongst active players in the shootout?

He's got only a 21% success rate!

Remember how bad Gaborik was at the shootout? He's ranked WAY above Staal with a 30% success rate!

Funny.

I think last couple years have been bad for both Parise and Koivu in shootouts. Don't have numbers though. They were both almost 50% throughout the career and now they are a bit over 40%.

Staal sucks in the shootouts lol.

Not sure about year by year splits, but I think he's one of the 5 best shootout shooters in the league.
