GDT: G35 - MIN @ VGK - 9:30PM Central - WTF, again?!

Im streaming the game on my laptop and when I click full screen I lose like 20% of the screen

Some of these lineup decisions feel like they are being made to suppress the value of some of our guys for contract extensions/expansion etc.

Doesn't really make sense for Dumba though.

Here's a poem I wrote

You have a historically bad PP
I mean this PP is under 10%
It's bad
You try everything to get it going
Personnel changes
Rask, Bonino, Bjugstad
Take Zuccarello off
Brodin, Suter, Spurgeon, Hunt
And it never once ever occurs to you
Hey, maybe try Matt Dumba?
You are Dean Evason

Or remove Kaprizov from the bumper into a position our best forward can handle the puck actually

I'm really just impressed that he's managed to get Kaprizov on the PP, so I'm not going to get too greedy there

 

[Dickie Dunn]

That seemed like an unnecessary hook.

 

[NHL1674]

Excellent PK!

It was funny listening to the NHL Network people do a quick bitch about the Bally presentation earlier.

ROFL ref was going to emphatically wave that off and the deflection off the post hit him in the ribs.

If Fiala made that same play Kaprizov tried at the line when he turned it over, it would have been the only thing Russo talked about for two days

 

[Uberdachen]

Baffling kind of implies there's no explanation for it. I don't think it's baffling anymore. With all the changes they've explored, even an idiot would have stumbled into putting Dumba there just by chance. It's active incompetence.

They watch Fiala’s potency on the rush and Kaprizov circling the entire zone without stopping as long as it takes for a golden opportunity and their response is “Ok smart guys, but when we get the man advantage you cut that shit the f*** out. You are crucified by the feet, you hear?”
So, seems in line.

Russo and his narratives are just “the little things in life”

Anyone know why FSN and now Bally have the channel logo and team logo in the upper right? It happens with both the Wild and I think the Wolves.

Earlier today the Twins just had simple translucent B with no background or team logo that looked nice and clean.

 

[Val]

Kaprizov - Ek - Greenway? it's right?

 

[AKL]

That's a harsh learning moment for Kap

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Kid can take a hit.

 

[AKL]

I'm always amazed at how well Kaprizov can keep up with the physical side of the game to go along with his insane skill and smarts

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Deano’s best plan yet: play Kaprizov 30 mins a night

 

[melinko]

Is it crazy to think our players look disinterested and slow on our line changes?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Wow.

 

[NHL1674]

Holy jumpin'!!!

 

[Uberdachen]

Talbot’s glove: 5 middle fingers

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Wow

 

[melinko]

Gave up more 2 on 1 in the PP than we had shots.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Don’t know if I’ve ever seen a defenseman create more odd man rushes against on the powerplay than Spurgeon
