GDT: G12: Wild at Kings - 9pm CT (FSN)

[2Pair]

Foligno was a top-3 FWD according to the CF%, xGF%, FF%, etc. Parise (and MarJo, who was just awful) were the bottom-3 FWDs in most of those categories.

Because Foligno spent a lot of the night with Greenway and Ek. He was awful

 

[DeagleJenkins]

Am I mistaken or did zucc actually look like the third best forward this game?

 

[Uberdachen]

How has Addison looked

Fiala, Kap, JEE, Greenway for me. Hartman didn't have his best game.

 

[GuerinUp]

Had to have been a terrible game if quick got a shutout. guys been terrible the last few years.

 

[57special]

Quick was good. We actually had some chances, but he was either good, or lucky.

A powerplay that includes Fiala, Kaprizov, Parise, Dumba, Suter and now Zuccarello has zero business being this bad. I'm not smart enough to know what they need to do differently but that's why they have the coaching. I simply cannot comprehend how it's so bad this year. It's beyond the point of any sort of bad luck or anything like that. Unless we really don't have a large enough sample yet...I guess they have still only played 13 games or whatever...

But yeah otherwise the good included Kaprizov, sometimes Ek, Greenway was strong on the boards. I'm still a little confused about Belpedio, it just feels like he should have been given a better chance the last couple years. Not sure why he wasn't given an opportunity as opposed to the revolving door of Pateryn, Hunt and Cole (now).

Parise, Bjugstad, Foligno, Johansson were all terrible. Oh, Kahkonen was pretty good actually too. That's all I've got.

Bad game. Did any of the kids look good (especially the D?)

I didn't catch much, but I heard Addison was actually above average.

Good. I'd be interested in hearing if Belpido looked like an NHL player as well. It's an interesting conversation because of Dumba/Dumba trade value/expansion.

I thought Belpedio looked fine. 1st period maybe a little shaky, but the 1st period was overall terrible hockey all around and looked better as the game went on.

Yeah, that's what I thought. He was stuck with Bartkowski, and they seemed to be trapped in their own end for most of the 1st period. He looked sharper in the last two periods. Decent in board battles, reasonably good defensively, and ok with handling the puck. Mermis got Dumba, and Addison got Suter to play with, so he definitely got the short straw when it came to partners.

I'll need to see more, but it looks like Belpedio and Mermis can be a #6/7D in the NHL .

The only poor performance that I will give the Wild a pass on.
