Oh

Our 4-0 win against Vegas: at 5v5, 16 shots for, 15 scoring chances, 6 of them high danger.

Today: at 5v5, 36 shots for, 23 scoring chances, 6 of them high danger.

Sometimes the puck just doesn't go it. It happens.

Seems to happen more often for the Wild

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Seems to happen more for the Wild than other teams.

Seems to, but probably doesn't.

I’m sure this is supposed to mean something after watching both games.

What, I don’t know.

I don't know how you watch this game and don't come to the conclusion that we were the better team in every minute of that game (as we should've been with the state that they're team is in).

We had plenty of chances to score. We just didn't. It happens.

They’re the better team by default based on who each team was trotting out.

Means nothing if you don’t create. Which I don’t know how you can sit here with a straight face and suggest they did anything remotely close to creating enough scoring chances to win the game.

Again, nothing off the rush. All perimeter play. You don’t score in this league playing this way.

 

[fentonsbrainchild]

I’ve been to a few of these. Is it too much to ask for a casual 6-3 loss where Fiala has 3 points?

It seems like whenever Fiala does well the team does as well

The numbers tell me that they did do enough to to create enough scoring chances.

Hard to score off the rush when the other team sinks back all game and takes zero chances, and I think the 'all perimeter play' is a flawed assessment.

 

[Ban Hammered]

Completely pathetic. Not one change. No fight no nothing.
Sure needed to fire Bruce.

Numbers seem to be pretty flawed as well.

No worries, maybe we were all watching a different game. Your’s had the Wild dominating and seemingly shut down or perhaps on the wrong side of luck by a “hot” goaltender? Go with it. Not sure how much water it’s going to hold though.

JEE line was the best line again today.

At this point might as well try:
Foligno/JEE/Fiala
Chucky/Kunin/Donato
Parise/Staal/Greenway
Donato/Koivu/Zucc

I feel like if we’re going to clone someone on this roster, we should aim higher than Donato. Other than that, any line change would be welcome!

Bah meant Hartman on the 4th line.

That's a pretty normal, canned answer after a team gets shutout.

I get that it's a weird hill to be standing on.

Yes, we all understand you were watching a different game.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Yes, we all understand you were watching a different game.

Or I just don't overreact to losses.

You have no idea what you're missing. Join us.

 

[Olcoach]

Write it off to puck luck then, as we didn't have any and they did. For a dump and chase team the played ok. Look at the shot count. This team can't line rush against a sagging D with this roster.

 

[TaLoN]

Next move...public beheading of Nordy.

Talon is selling tickets to it out of his garage right next to the GT500

Wow... that really would be a GREAT day! Death of Nordy AND I make money off of it too?!?!

Bench Zucc, play Rask.

You mean like the one prior?
