GDT: G2: Wild at Kings - 8pm CT (FSN)

[Minnewildsota]

Fiala and Kap played that OT amazing for how poorly the first 3 periods went for them. Fiala took Doughty (i think?) into the boards in the defensive zone and took the puck off him and I don't think we gave up the puck the rest of the OT.

I think a lot of people seem to discredit Greenway, but he was a major driver of possession in OT as well.

Man you gotta love Suter

 

[BagHead]

Dominated?

He probably could have used a sarcasm smiley.

Is no one going to mention that Brodin is on pace for 56 points this season? Is this the breakout year that he finally becomes the next Lidstrom?

I missed some of the thread, but I assumed @Jesus Brodin Would’ve made a comment about it while asking for Hamms

It's not really sarcasm.

 

[Webster]

Gonna get crushed by Vegas, Avs and Blues unless there's some line structure here.

Anyway, 4 points can't get better, let's grab em and run.

He's got a point about quality chances

I don't have any access to watch live. But, as 2Pair has said, Natural Stat Trick has the High Danger Scoring Chances at something like 14-2, with none at all for the Kings in periods 2 & 3.

So, a couple of questions for those who watched the game.
1 - Is that fair? I mean about the scoring chances?
2 - If it is, please tell me about the LA goals in Period 2.

Thanks.

 

[Prior]

Trying to understand why the Wild would be concerned about Vegas or St. Louis. Neither has looked particularly good.

Colorado is on another tier than anyone in the division.

I apparently don’t remember anything currently. Tee second goal was a pinball. I believe it was redirected thrice, or at least twice

 

[MNRube]

Hoping Kahkonen gets a look in the next game

It seems like he is jumping up more into
the play more than last year. Probably because Spurgeon has his back as opposed to him having to cover for Dumba’s adventures.

 

[The Enemy Within]

What a freaking game! Almost a repeat of the other night's except worse game for us and much more dramatic. Wow that was fun! Go Wild!

 

[BagHead]

Wait, those were in OUR favor? Wow. I watched that whole game and came away thinking we were awful. I may need to re-evaluate my eyes.

Zero sarcasm intended

First goal was a bad Bjugstad giveaway, goal side scramble and puck crossed the goal line by 2 inches. 2nd goal was a point shot double deflection. 3rd was 2 on 1 on a 4 on 4 with a bit of a goal crease scramble.

 

[BagHead]

I see that now. See my post just above yours.

Reputation entering the season has a larger impact than small sample size in people's minds early in the season.

Where as the Wild had a bubble team reputation by comparison, and just barely scraped by a bad LAK team twice kind of reinforcing that reputation within the same small sample size.

Please just stop. We know you’re implying that Zuccarello needs to come in and be put on the first line. It’s getting old.

 

[TJL48]

Loved Greenway's play these first 2 games.

Thanks. Now, for 2Pair:
How is a 2 on 1 NOT a HDSC?

Something seems strange with the counting?

 

[Wabit]

Talbot looks like a big upgrade over Dub from last year so far. That isn't saying a lot, but it is something.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Please just stop. We know you’re implying that Zuccarello needs to come in and be put on the first line. It’s getting old.

To be fair, any of those 3 teams playing their "A" game is probably going to be a really, really tough go.

 

[Wasted Talent]

Are you looking at 5v5 scoring chances?

The Kings had the same game plan as the 1st game. Throw shit at the net and crash and hope for a bounce. It worked four times over 2 games. They also took advantage of having Carter and Athanasiou out 4x4 against Parise for 2 goals in 2 games.
