GDT: 11/8/2014 - Minnesota vs Montreal - 6 PM CT, 2 AM EET - NHLN, FS-N+

[Minnesota]

At this point I would not mind seeing him and Dumba sent down.

Sign Bryz, roll with him and Backs until Harding can come back, and then just stuff Backs in the closet and forget about him until Hards goes down again.

Kuemper's had a bad night, but he has been more consistent than Backstrom throughout the season, IMO. I can't imagine Bryzgalov would have fared any better with the team playing poorly in front of him.

Our issue is goal-scoring right now, and defensive breakdowns.

 

[gphr513]

Welp, good effort I guess.

 

[Harvest]

Granlund needs to start shooting the puck... So many mistakes in the game.

That was a bad play, but otherwise he has been ok tonight..

 

[Avder]

Every time Kwik Trip posts that shortcode of theres for a promotion I think of this:

 

[57special]

Granlund isn't looking like a #1 C. He's not looking like a #2 C, either.

 

[Minnesota]

What a difference a little confidence can make. Habs are dominating.

 

[FVM]

Did the contract negotiations get into Granlund's head? He's been off for many games now.

True....Koivu looks better than him now after picking up his game with the kids.

Meant about our play in general. Great first period and then collapse. Seemed like we lost the skill of passing to the stick in the second. They capitalized on Dumbas, Ninos and Granlund (+Folin?) bad plays so not quite happy.

 

[Blizzard6411]

Yeah, sure, Dumba is the problem.

This board is quite comical at times like these!

 

[Northland Wild Man]

Nice pass Coyle

Hey fellas just wind up and take slap shots from the blue line. Shooting lanes will open after a few get taken in sensitive areas.

 

[Generic User]

This team looks nothing like the one we saw at the beginning of the year. Doubt it's just Parise's absense either. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Wild.

 

[Northland Wild Man]

Now for the patented Canadian trap.

 

[melinko]

This is a terrible year to fall behind the pack. Nearly every non-playoff team from last year in the West is ahead of us in the standings already.

Its unlikely they all fall back and fail to miss the playoffs.

Yeo sat emotionless with his arms crossed the last game when things weren't going well. Now he's pouting the same way tonight. How about get off your butt and talk to your players. What good is he in a situation like this if he just remains a mute during tough times?

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

Glad I didn't waste my time watching that game, I predicted 4-0, looks like I'll be pretty close.

He should publicly call out the officials for the goal, but he has to make adjustments in the locker room. The Wild are a much better team than their record indicates right now, and if players won't do what it takes to win then bench them. Victory is all that should matter.

What happens to Yeo if they don't make the playoffs this season? If I'm Leopold he's gone. No possible excuse with this roster.

Why call out the officials for the goal? That goal was all on Nino. Completely legit.

Not according to what I saw in the last game.

[NHL1674]

Just go away, Veilluex.

 

[Avder]

Pathetic display.

 

[BurnsyMN]

Anyone have any idea why this team sucks so incredibly bad on the road? About to be 2-5 to start on the road and it never seems like we play really close games on the road. It always feels like we get stomped on.

 

[Avder]

Mercifully it's over.

Good night.

 

[DANOZ28]

i predicted the score correctly do i get a cookie? why cant we score? something is wrong in the locker room. well if we miss the playoffs its a good draft year but i had higher hopes for this team. only zucker is exceeding my expectations.
