GDT: G52: NJD @ MIN - 7PM Central

[Al Lagoon]

Wild have a potential knockout Swedish tandem for years.

 

[BagHead]

Seems like there were 8 unnecessary dekes between the blue line and the top of the circles there.

Every single one of those was mandatory and intricately tied to the final move.
It would like like I was joking if he didn't score nearly every time he was up.

This game was won because of goaltending. As most of ours are.

From the last GDT...

Can’t wait to watch this team against New Jersey.

Knowing this team? We'll probably win 6-5, then go right back to shit

It wasn't 6-5, but 3-2 accomplished the same.

I just got home but had the Devils feed on for my drive. They thought the Hartman instigator was a weak call too.

It's sad how much better so many of the other teams' broadcast crews are compared to the Wild. If the draft was decided by booth crews MN and ESPN would have 3 of the top-5 picks locked up.

Joe does a great job, a good replacement for Tom would do that radio broadcast wonders FWIW. Otherwise I agree, Carter has been getting better and better.. but could leave the rest

God damn. Drinking and auto-correct are a horrible combination.

Anyone think the refs constantly call more on us because of Evason constantly riding their ass?

He seems like such an amateur when he’s constantly red faced. Most coaches do get animated after the ref comes over, but this constant swearing and yelling is so Hockey mom.

 

[63firebird]

Any way Gus goes in again? Seems like he’s been playing better, or the team plays better in front of him? Brodin makes an incredible difference. Boldy having a little trouble settling down. Too anxious to make the correct play. Feeling the pressure of his big payday maybe? Zucc and Kap need to give up the highlight reel passes when point blank with the goalie.
Cross ice feeds are awesome when your out of a scoring area but stop passing when you have nothing but a goalie in front of you.

Gus not being the first star of the game is a joke. Him not being the 2nd star just shows these "stars of the game" are just bullshit.

Agreed. Gus 1. Tatar 2. Ek 3 is how I would have ranked it. But hey, I'm a nobody.

 

[Spurgeon]

By any metric I can look at, other than games played, a top 7 goalie in the league.

Hilarious how the mismanagement of Talbot may have potentially lead to Guerin finding a franchise-level goaltender.

And his management of the Wild might have led to an even better one in Wallstedt.
