GDT: Game 2: Wild @ Avs - 8 PM CT / 4 AM Finland - FS-N

[Wabit]

Rask is a better center than Kunin and Eriksson Ek.

He should be, but nothing I saw last year from him made him look like a better center than Graovac was a few years ago.

I really have no clue on what he'll look like this year on the ice.

The only positive that Ek brings is on the PK. Everywhere else he's a detriment

You are so wrong on this. It’s a bad look on you.

JEE is good to have for the PP, so he's at least correct about that.

Who will get the start in net for tonight?

I haven't seen it announced anywhere, but I would be shocked if it wasn't Dubnyk

I mean that's more than Rask can say, so

Rask has multiple seasons of being a quality NHL center. Ek has never sniffed that level

Don't really care what he was four years ago. He's not that now.

 

[PuckInTheNards]

Got a bad, bad feeling about this. Do I really want to watch a doubleheader Yankees-Avs victory today?

And then Giants-Vikes tomorrow. Gonna be a long month.

The player he was 2 years ago would be a huge upgrade to Ek

Again, don't really care what he was in the past, he's not that now.

How does anybody know what he is now? He played like 2 games for the Wild before he got hurt.

I'm hoping that someone on the coaching staff is seeing something that makes them believe that Kunin will figure it out at center, because I don't see it at all. Right now he's a smarter offensively but worse defensively version of Ek.

It’s just one game, and I think he could figure out a way to be an efficient center, but he just is better on the wing. He’s barely an NHL player right now when he plays down the middle.

I'm so damn angry and frustrated after these last two Twins' games that I'm nearly numb.....which thankfully makes me not give a damn about this game tonight. So, thank you, Twins.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Why does the pregame have walz breaking down the keys to victory I feel dumber

 

[The Enemy Within]

Let's get it done tonight Wild. I need something to be happy about. (Other than the Gophers victory!)

I just paid for the nhl.tv subscription. Not bad with the vet discount, it was just under $100 for the season.

That doesn't seem too bad indeed!

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Bbs got his lucky tie on, I feel good about this game

 

[The Enemy Within]

Well that sucks. Avs power play goal early.

 

[Lapa]

Sigh

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Ouch. Disregard previous..

 

[Lapa]

We look really bad

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Ay yi yi.

 

[Bazeek]

We look really bad

Yup.
