GDT: 12/15/16 - Wild @ Predators - 7PM CT / 3 AM Suomi - FSN

Pfff... Easiest goal Granlund has ever scored.

He was probably just trying to pass it back to Parise behind the net. The goal just got in the way.

 

[Minnesota]

Lucky win.

Played 1 period. Held on for dear life for the remaining 2 periods.

 

[57special]

I'm surprised he hit the net.

Now, now.

Scary 2/3 of the game.... thanks again dubs.

I was dancing around the house at the 3 points Staal got me with getting the empty netter. And then Granlund had to take it away by finally hitting an open net! Damn you, #64!

Nice game of keep away towards the end there...and job well done to Dubs. Keep streaking with those games in hand!!!

 

[Minnesota]

We've gotten points in 10 of our last 11 games. That's impressive.

One of Brodin's big weaknesses is his goal celebrations. Very poor technique. Seems to just mail it in.

Needs to be more dynamic in goal celebrations.

Dymanicer?

Dymanicer?

Trade for Yakupov?

 

[Minnewildsota]

Are his goal celebrations dynamic?

You tell us...

 

[Minnewildsota]

Trade for him now!

You know you're on a major winning streak when the only gripe is about a player's lazy goal celebration.

 

[ThatGuy22]

40 CF%, 52% SC% 62 HDSC%....

A running theme with this team this year, getting killed in possession. But crushing it in scoring chances.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Where do you get the SC% and HDSC% numbers?

 

[hirawl]

BB took Lavi to school. NSH is supposed to be an offensive force but if you take ages to get the puck up the ice against the Wild there's a good chance you're going to lose. Nothing lucky about this one.

Love this team. Have the speed and skill advantage just about every night.

Did Boris Mikhailov celebrate when he scored?

 

[W75]

And a win once more! Outshot badly after the 1st, but it didn't feel like they stopped trying. They tried to get out of defensive zone and actually did quite well still, Nashville just pressured really hard. They don't shoot just in shake of shooting like with Yeo. Instead every time they shoot, it's dangerous.

Dubnyk, man. On the late PK that Stewie gave them.. we have this saying in Finland, "Morjens, mikä seivi!" (Morjens, what a save [also morienttes at times]). It was a big one.

I don't know how they did it, but Wild looks like a strong team right now. Even when they're taking hits and shots, you can feel the confidence. I don't know.. got a feeling that BB trusts his crew. With Yeo, it felt like we were a bit afraid when leading. Maybe Yeo was too careful? He didn't trust himself nor the players? Don't know really, but so far so good.

This is what happens when you have a coach who actually knows how to... coach!

And a goalie standing on his head most nights.

 

[DANOZ28]

i dont know how to feel after this win, play a terrific 1st then only 2 shots on goal in the 2nd? we had plenty of golden chances which is the result of good effort but why cant we bury more of those? i was ticked off at the ref with 6 min left #10 nsh lands on top of scandella in front of our goal & no call. oh well whos next?

This is a game that a year ago, we would have lost 5-1. Yes, didn't play a solid 60 minutes but this playing style gives us a chance to have poor possession stats and still be able to score when chances occur.

Yes, it is no fun to be outplayed but that will happen. It is nice to steal a game. And have a goalie with absolutely absurd stats

His celebration consists of looking like "I haven't done anything". Maybe Haula could keep him a lecture
