GDT: G28: Finnish Independence Day (Wild @ Flames) 8pm CT/4am Finland (FSN)

[57special]

On closer look, that giordano hit was pretty scummy

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Not sure...you could be right. All I saw was Dumba and Ek together watching things...

Yeah. I can't remember who was 2nd into the zone.

 

[57special]

Suter not so hot tonight

 

[57special]

Dumba can't hit the net from 20'

 

[NHL1674]

So how long will Koivu be hurt? And will the league look at the hit?

 

[Jugitsu]

Giordano is dirty.

 

[57special]

This life without Koivu sucks

 

[HwT]

Dominating the shots, but Calgary doing a good job at keeping the Wild from getting great scoring chances.

 

[NHL1674]

League better look at it.

 

[57special]

Put Stalock back in so we have someone that can handle the puck out there

 

[123TripleDoge]

Captain taken out on a dirty play and nothing after. The season essentially. Gio is a scumbag

 

[P10p]

Captain taken out by a knee on knee and no one does anything wtf. Spineless group.. so mad at them...

 

[StealthClobber]

What the hell Lomberg?

 

[123TripleDoge]

Flames are trash

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Jesus

 

[HwT]

Dumba should have gotten the initial penalty, but now the Wild should be on the PP.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Refs you suck chant... Ha

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Dup

 

[Jugitsu]

I don't know. That hit looked high. Did Dumba leave his feet prior to the contact?

 

[P10p]

Too little too late. That hit should have been thrown directly after the knee on knee regardless if it was a clean hit or not.

 

[NHL1674]

Maybe if they had given Giordano a major for taking Koivu out, they wouldn't have been so pissed off.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Well, not really that 'weird' of a game after all. Just not very good and we lose Koivu. Awesome.

I can't remember a single player standing out as playing a good game...Spurgeon maybe? I thought Granlund had a really poor game. Also seem appropriate for this team to go 3-3 on the PP last game and now go 0-5 or whatever it was. Smith did play pretty well overall though.

Hard to get too upset about single plays when you only give up two goals but Granlund was a major factor on #1 and Ek on #2. Although it seemed like more of a team effort on the 2nd goal.

Oh well. Hopefully they rebound tomorrow. And hopefully it's not serious with Mikko.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I didn't think we played all that poorly. Smith is an average/bad goalie in the middle of a hot streak, and we got roped into it.

 

[123TripleDoge]

Gio should be suspended, as well as that no name gutless punk who punched dumba when he was defenseless

 

[Deen]

Gio really isn't a dirty player. I would bet money he came to shake Koivu's hand after the game, super classy guy. You guys have something in Stalock, if he plays lights out I can see you taking a run at the wildcard.

I didn't think it was all that dirty. Just got beat on a move along the boards and tried to get a piece of him. Result sucks though. Stalock probably won't play enough to be a real factor in our playoff run.
