GDT: 5 Mar 2013 - Wild @ Chicago - Great Moments Are Born From Great Opportunities - 7:30

[651*]

People are saying "they lost to a good team" or "Chicago is the best team in the NHL" or whatever.

Well I don't care if it was Chicago or Columbus; this team doesn't need any more excuses for a loss, especially not an ugly one. I just want someone in this organization to be brutally honest and admit that it was just a ****** effort, instead of pretending everything was OK.

They scored first and then allowed four goals in six minutes. They gave the game away in the first 15 minutes. It was another one of their trademark 40-minute efforts, when they just can't seem to put together a complete game. There is no silver lining here.

The commentators are pretty bad. They sugar coat all this ***** to the point sometimes you just have to turn mute on.

Well, I don't really see anybody saying otherwise.

Our announcers didn't see it that way and the crew bringing up the tail end on FSN don't either.

parise is not the problem. where was blank & blank & blank. this was a team loss not one guy.

of course not but im dissapointed with his play lately.

 

[Blizzard6411]

the only reason the wild played well after the 1st is the hawks took their foot off the gas. same as the ducks when up 3-0.

I am confused why people are thinking the 2nd was a decent period? Wild had 4 sog against a team that had relaxed.

Looking forward to hear Yeo's postgame comments.

Exactly! First 2 periods were terrible.

At least you didn't waste a post in the NHL News thread. News when they don't.

Mike Yeo: "We played a very poor game. I’m more curious to see how we come out the next game." #mnwild

Heh.

My take...

http://www.stateofhockeynews.com/2013-articles/march/wild-vs-b-hawks.html

The lack of edge in our own zone was pretty concerning and credit Chicago for taking advantage of it. 1st line was pretty much invisible. 2nd and 4th lines looked great though. Its not a big surprise Chicago took advantage of the Wild when the small and weak 3rd line was out there. I have a full game recap plus Pairwise rankings for both Men's & Women's college hockey. Enjoy!

wtf...

Must be nice to moan and pout at work, yet still get paid millions of dollars no matter the outcome.

Michal Rozsival grabs the stick of Mikael Granlund

That was a classy moment. Granlund lost his stick.

 

[BusQuets]

how is that not penalty?

 

[Fel 96]

Blackhawks extend points streak vs. Wild (FSN's take)

 

[Fel 96]

how is that not penalty?

IIRC, Granlund lost his stick and Rozsival gave it back to him.

Heh.

I'm probably reading way too much into that quote, because it sounds like something a fan should say. We should be curious about how they come out the next game. It's all we can be, because we have no control over it otherwise. But as a coach, I'd have a plan and some strong actions in order to have a good freaking idea of how they're gonna start off the next game. It just sounds too much like a "wait and see" kind of quote from him. Kinda like with the powerplay.

IIRC, Granlund lost his stick and Rozsival gave it back to him.

And then Granlund scored with Rozsival's stick. Or not.

Can't wait till I finally click on "submit new thread" for the postgame talk that will last 4 days.

Then wild players should always take opponent's stick during play but must remember to give it back before line change...

Yeah about that....

 

[Fel 96]

Okay.

 

[Fel 96]

Yeah about that....

Oh you!
