GDT: G2: Wild Home Opener vs Vegas. 7pm CT/3am Suomi (FSN)

[Wasted Talent]

TFW you really don't want to shoot but you can't pass to anyone.

 

[The Enemy Within]

Well shootout #1 of the year. Here we go.

 

[StealthClobber]

Skills competition. zzzzz

 

[Wabit]

Nah. Still have a chance to defend. Either way, it's better than a turnover.

Chip it out, get the clear, maybe a line change, clock keeps ticking.

 

[The Enemy Within]

Good save Dubs!

 

[StealthClobber]

This shootout pretty much sums up this game so far.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Chip it out, get the clear, maybe a line change, clock keeps ticking.

Guts. Glory. Goals.

 

[The Enemy Within]

Dangit.. Haula too...

 

[StealthClobber]

Koivu tries a different move for once, and loses the puck. Oh boy.

 

[StealthClobber]

Unbelievable.

 

[NHL1674]

Koivu isn't good anymore in shootouts. Give someone else a chance.

The offense lost this game for us.

 

[Wasted Talent]

Koivu with the poor man's Kucherov move.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

0-1-1. Unrecoverable.

 

[HwT]

Fire everyone.

 

[Wabit]

Guts. Glory. Goals.

Or a loss.

It was a hero or 0 play. Zucker came up a 0. No different than a low percentage pinch.

 

[StealthClobber]

Wonder what Dubnyk is feeling right now.

 

[NHL1674]

Dubs and Parise have looked pretty good. Defense has been helpful. It's just frustrating when your goalie is required to get shutouts in back to back games to get a win.

 

[The Enemy Within]

Well at least we have four days to practice offensive stuff right?

 

[Wabit]

Wonder what Dubnyk is feeling right now.

Probably like he needs to score goals as well as stop them.

 

[NHL1674]

Wonder what Dubnyk is feeling right now.

In his stall....

 

[Wabit]

Dumba the best d-man though the first 2 games of the season. Didn't think I'd say that, ever.

 

[Taylor26]

It's early guys pitt lost to mtl 5-1 tonight and tor lost to ott 5-3 but yeah 1 goal a game will not cut it. Dubs looks great so far though.

 

[Wabit]

Well 6p in 5 games means 2-0-1 for the next 3 games.

 

[57special]

Reaves doesn't really fight. He'll run away 9 times out of 10. If he does drop the gloves throw a couple of punches and then wrap the guy up.

You're kidding, right? Reaves is one of the toughest fighters in the league.

 

[57special]

New Year, same shit. Wild forwards can't score. Good on Doobs for playing so well.

On a positive note, Parise looks decent or better. I'll bit my tongue on a few others...
