GDT: 11/27/2015 - Wild vs Jets - 3PM / 11PM Suomi - FS-N

[CROCODILE SEATS]

Nice one Spurgeon. Another pathetic performance by the Wild.

 

[Sharppi]

Spurgeon is ****.

 

[Minnesota]

These TSN announcers get overly excited whenever a Jets player gets the puck.

 

[gphr513]

15 shots on goal.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

lol pominville loses board battle and the game is over.

Figured it would get back to Pominville somehow.

 

[behemolari]

what the hell am i watching

 

[CROCODILE SEATS]

Never been sold on Yeo, do not think I ever will be. This game certainly does not help.

 

[Mubiki]

Poor decision by Spurgeon. I understand wanting to be aggressive, but that was too much only being down one with 3 min left.

 

[Minnesota]

Yeah... Timeout. Create some game-winning strats, Bruno.

 

[BusQuets]

I don't know which is it. Either the defencemen can't do a proper break-out pass or the forwards are not playing themselves open.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Just not making a lot of high IQ plays.

Enstrom gets the puck, AND HE'S GOT THE GAME ON HIS STICK, POSSIBLY THE PLAYOFFS, HE WINS THE STANLEY CUP!

 

[gphr513]

Lol that's such a **** play. Get the puck in a scoring area, all alone. Waits for Jets player to get there, then fires it off his stick

 

[W75]

Awful game.

 

[Minnesota]

Dallas is going to roll us.

He's been saved by Buffalo in back to back years. Will he be saved for a 3rd time? I just can't get over how it's looking like the same sh÷# as every other year with him. They look lazy and unmotivated. Enough with the excuses....if we end up going down the same road, time to seriously look at changing guys behind that bench.

 

[Wasted Talent]

This game didn't live up to the hype.

If it continues like this I would hope a change is strongly considered.

 

[Wild11MN]

Just horrible. All there is to say.

 

[Minnesota]

I'd love to hear anyone suggest a better coach...

 

[CROCODILE SEATS]

I'd love to hear anyone suggest a better coach...

That's not my job, but if the team keeps playing poorly, a change should be considered. JMO

 

[Grover]

When you go 26 games without scoring as a top line winger, you deserve the criticism..Stop defending Pominville

 

[StealthClobber]

I'm not ready to blame Yeo when we have guys like Pominville on the roster doing absolutely nothing.

 

[bad tape job]

Lazy, unmotivated, toothless.
Feels like another long slump coming on.

 

[Ceiu]

LOL at you guys blaming the refs when we're playing with no ***** given whatsoever. Extremely boring game to watch.

Sorry for the late reply here, but I didn't want to attempt to address this from my phone.

Anyway, I don't think the refs are ever the reason for a loss, but it seems every game we're battling against some absolutely ********* penalty or call that unnecessarily puts the game in jeopardy; and worse, it always seems to be pretty one-sided. When's the last time we've been on the receiving end of such painfully atrocious calls? Again, it's not the singular reason they win or lose in a given night, but it adds up. Imagine playing Street Fighter, but your opponent starts with 50% more health than you. It won't often be the reason if you lose, but it certainly won't help your situation any.
I totally get that they're still humans and are prone to mistakes, but this is supposed to be the pinnacle of organized play in the sport. We shouldn't be dealing with incompetence or integrity issues like those we've been seeing (and I'm not talking about just the Wild). These guys should be the best at what they do, should be striving to improve and shouldn't be comparable or worse than some of the local rec and bar leagues some of us have seen.

"Fortunately," the Wild played ****** enough tonight that the one pivotal call ended up not mattering in the least. But FFS would I like to watch a game that isn't in some way marred by the refs ****ing it up in some obvious way.
