Aside from after winning the challenge, every shot they had of BB he had a look on his face that seemed to say, "oh **** me .... What am I going to do with this team."
I thought Dumba was extra bad.
I am 100% serious when I say put him at RW. He will be effective.
I assume this is Audra Martin you're referring to, and I agree. Her job description is literally "be able to talk" and she Cannot. Do. It.
Dumba was horrible. Koivu was horrible. Granlund looked weak on the puck. Spurgeon and Scandella sucked.
Zucker was good on the offensive zone.
Just about their whole team is at least 6'-0" 190lbs. Wild's skill got out muscled tonight. Spurgeon and Granny don't seem to play well against this type of team. Scandella is who really disappointed me. He has the size and strength to play with their size.
I wasn't disappointed in the ozone effort of any of the FWD line, the dzone none of them really looked good.
Next 3 games are all skill v skill match ups and all winnable if the team defense shows up.
Maybe we missed Folin? The term " crease clearer" has become almost an insult, but that's what we needed tonight...that and far more aggressive close outs in the defensive zone.

I love Boudreau's honesty in his post-game interviews:
Dumba should be traded while he still has value. What happens if he is still not surpassing 30 points in the next season or two?
