GDT: G48: Predators @ Wild - 7PM CT

[Sweetnut]

That was a really nice goal Boldy.
Do it again, please

 

[Digitalbooya]

Foligno off by a mile

 

[Sweetnut]

Wonder if Brunette took the golf cart to the game

 

[Roman Maroni]

I wasn’t a prophet tonight….

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Blah.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Just ugly turnovers.

Nashville with a lucky win.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Probably weren't going to score anyway, but blowing that face-off win dead is such BS.

 

[MNRube]

Zucc is a complete disaster 5v5 and defensively. Tough loss.

 

[f7ben]

All I want is Faber points and wild losses ….so yay!!!!

 

[NHL1674]

All that grit that Guerin wants is really going to pay off when Kap retires early from all the crosschecks to the back and hits to the head.

 

[NHL1674]

By the way, what’s the latest on Flower…

I think they said he was being evaluated a few days ago. I'm guessing concussion.

I’m fine with this team tanking, but I don’t think they’re going to be bad enough to do it effectively.

Wouldn’t mind going to trade for Dumba (if it’s cheap (4th) & playing him with Middleton or Brodin. Try to re-sign him cheap & long-term if he really wanted to be here.

Has this team ever brought someone back and had it really work out though? Mojo is still TBD.

I think the ship sailed on Dumba....especially if it means Billy doing something stupid to acquire him.

Boldy.

The guy who assisted on the first goal and scored the second one, you mean?

It's uncanny how much Faber figures in the scoring. Has there ever been a guy who was a better offensive player in the NHL than he was in college?

 

[Digitalbooya]

Well, to be fair, at the time of the comment Boldy had not scored yet and he did not get an assist on the first goal. In fact, Boldy was not even close to getting an assist on the first goal. All four other Wild players touched the puck after he last touched it on that play.

 

[Luceni]

they deserved the loss. Too many sloppy plays and turnovers even faber had 2-3 terrible shifts. Normally he's solid as a rock.

Don't get me wrong but kap and zucc are ignoring Rossi. They just looking out for each other and forget, that there is a 3rd guy on their line. Zucc should not get so many ES minutes to be honest, at this point he's just a PP specialist with no interest in playing a responsible game in the neutral or own zone.

Rossi needds to be better too. There are some good shifts with some great puck battle wins but overall there's a lot floating around imo. He's trying hard but thats not enough. He needs the puck more on his stick to be successful. Hes gotta demand the puck. He has got the skills to feed the others. At the moment the coach is parking him in front of the net too much. That's not the area where a guy with his playmaking skills should play.

Sorry, had to do it…..

Poor Rossi is the 3rd wheel on that date. Kinda expected.

I just think if he costs next to nothing to acquire and he re-signs at $3M or less, then he’s bringing positive value. He’s had proven success with Brodin and he’s at an age range where he’ll be able to replace Spurgeon on the 2nd pair eventually if we want to move on from him.

This team’s RD prospect depth concerns me. I feel like we’ll be able to replace Middleton & Merrill with LD prospects sooner than we’ll be able to add a RD prospect to our lineup.

I thought it was just me but Kap and Zucc sure seem to be ignoring Rossi. 23 has had some near misses.

How long until another goon takes out kap? Zuc,kap,Rossi line seem a foot shorter than most defence.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I didn't see Kap ignoring him, but Zucc was doing his usual thing. At least we know it's not personal with Rossi.
