GDT: G26: MIN @ EDM - 8PM Central

[Dr Jan Itor]

I've put a lot of thought into it.

They're just handcuffing themselves every time they send their second best forward out there knowing it would be a shock if he scored because his linemates are traffic cones in the offensive zone.

You still have a line you can deploy (and trust) to take defensive matchups.

No downside.

And putting a talented player next to 'current 73 point pace Eriksson Ek' might not be worst thing to do for him right now, instead of 'current 26 point pace Foligno'.

That too. Using Eriksson Ek in a third line role is unsustainable. He's outgrowing that role and we need him in the top six if we want to win in the playoffs.

Savvy veteran move from Zuccarello

 

[Dust]

delete

 

[Webster]

Zucc you dirty little weasel

 

[Southern Minny]

That call on Draisaitl was for messing with Fleury. lol

 

[Wabit]

No downsides that I can fix internally

Unless Rossi wants to stop busting

Well Rossi was -2 with 1ppa tonight. So maybe next game he'll stop?

 

[Southern Minny]

Alright, we get 2 here in the 3rd.

I won't hold my breath, you understand

 

[AKL]

Good thing Zuccarello already scored and drew a penalty this game

 

[Webster]

And Dumba screwed things up again...

 

[AKL]

Dumba trade when?

 

[Southern Minny]

They need to scratch Dumba, he's sabotaging his trade value.

 

[AKL]

Kaprizov looked at Dewar and said "nah I'll do this myself"

 

[NHL1674]

If Dumba keeps this up, he may just find himself getting a 6 year extension.

Yeah, I'm looking at you, Billy. Because that's exactly what you would do.

 

[Wabit]

jeez. the 50/50 in EDM tonight is over $300k

They're always massive. It's been into the millions before iirc.

I know they are huge in TOR too. Just so much money in raffle tickets for one game is crazy to me.

I could be wrong but I think in Alberta you don't have to be at the game to buy them

 

[Southern Minny]

If our PP was working, we'd be sitting ok, we're due for it to get rolling.

Russo says Billy is not even on the trip, he's been scouting a Gophers game tonight

Watching Faber to make sure he's comfortable trading Dumba.

He's gonna offer Faber a max contract if he leaves school now instead of in April

It's not like him being at the game would make a difference.

 

[AKL]

At least Steel won't be on the top line next game.
