Northland Wild Man
Finnesotans?
Very good observation. The momentum did shift back and forth a few times in the game tonight.

I really hate our powerplay. We should have Yeo and the boys watch some tapes of Chicago's PP. We are far too stationary. I want the guys down low moving around forcing the Defense to rotate and question who they should be covering. This opens up things for our puck movers up top to find the open man and then exploit the defense. We could also really use a right handed player down low to tap in all these one timers the leftys are setting up.

Really sad I missed the game, had to work (if any of you are in the duluth/superior area, tune your radio to 91.3 now to hear me) but I can't wait to see the recap. Reading over the thread, the chemistry is building and that really makes me happy. I got a birthday cake today and the one thing I wished for was a Wild win tonight and it looks like I got it.
I just hope that when Spurg comes back, Yeo doesn't put him back with Suter...
Suter/Brodin is what I wanna see for the next decade

If I were handing out game pucks in this one, it has to go to Backstrom who played like his old self (positionally sound, absorbing rebounds) and Matt Cullen whose persistence paid off. It wasn't perfect but it was two points against about as good of an opponent you'll find in the league right now that had a day's rest to boot. Check it out!

No way in hell that happens. Brodin and Suter are officially joined at the hip now!
From listening to people around me, it sounded like they were expecting Gabby 2.0 with Granlund. Folks, just how high did you have the bar with him? And it's so black and white. "Since he's struggling as a rookie, he's automatically a bust and we should trade him." Seriously people?! Seriously? Good thing you aren't GM's.
They need a plan with this kid, but simmer the hell down. Move him to wing....move him down a line...if the first line goes cold, then let put him along side Mikko....send him down....there are many ways to work on a solution. You don't trade a kid like that just because he looks lost during the fist couple weeks of his career. Cripes! Not even months or a year into his career! He has a lot of learning to do. A lot of growing pains to go through. Lots of confidence to gain. Time to bring your expectations back down to earth and raise your level of patience. Not every top prospect is going to have an immediate, smooth transition into the NHL.
Now, thank goodness for secondary scoring, because they saved us from being shutout. I don't expect the top line to score every night, but they do need to apply some pressure. Fingers crossed that they were simply exhausted from playing a lot last night, because they were somewhat unrecognizable tonight.
Props to Backs for saving the day.

No points for Parise in the last two games. What should we do, trade or buyout?
(just in case)
Try and sneak him through waivers so he can work on his game in the AHL. He may still develop into a useful player.

Go right.
I have a new drinking game.
Drink every time Granlund is kicked out of the faceoff
Drink every time Granlund falls over
Drink every time Granlund drops his ice on the stick
In all seriousness though I feel like he is just not ready after seeing him play these past few games, send him down and give somebody else a chance.

Absolutely. I think Brodin may have even calmed Suter down a bit, which is crazy. Speaking of crazy, I thought Gilbert had a good game too.

Granny played worse than anyone on the ice... MOVE YOUR swear word DAMNED FEET MAN!!!
That said, I'm not saying he should go back to the AHL. Learn on the fly. He's already a professional.
Backs of old was nice to see.
After clutters goal, he /ninja vanish
We have our 1/1a defensemen now. Spurge needs to take his 3-5 roll coming back. (2 is glibert, btw)
Hoping Seto bangs a few home so we can see the WOW seto is good posts. He plays hard. I'm happy with him.
Stoner didn't looked stoned out there 80% of the time. Keep him in the right role and no one can complain. Well...
