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

[Wabit]

The 4th line has been better than decent IMO. But, Eriksson Ek has been the 3rd best player on that line

Probably true, but I don't think Rask does well on the 4th line with the defensive/physical roll. Rask was an offensive/finesse center in Car.

 

[Wabit]

Worst goal call ever. Like fingernails on a chalkboard when the Wild score.

Is that really going to be an issue this season?

 

[Wabit]

@Lapa thanks for the GDT.

It would be a good problem to have

 

[grN1g]

It's an odd opinion.

well you're an odd character and have been since i can remember.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

Staal has had zero 5v5 shots on goal through two games playing with Mats Zucarello.

That bad.

And his even strength CF% is 35.14. Woof.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Thanks.

 

[grN1g]

Thanks.

your're welcome bud

 

[P10p]

Plot twist, Rask saves the season

 

[grN1g]

Nice job of doubling down on the terrible take. Boudreau is dying to play young kids at center. To the point that he's playing wingers there right now while he has a proven center in the press box. The fact that Eriksson Ek has stayed on the 4th line says it all.

I can triple down if you'd like. We will be 0 - 3 and still arguing about this after next game 2square.

 

[NHL1674]

Spoken like a true MN sports fan, I salute you.

 

[grN1g]

Playing a kid against competition he can't match-up with can harm development as it destroys self-confidence.

Who's saying a smart coach puts an Ek centered line vs a defense first responsible Koivu centered line is a bad matchup? Glad you are not a coach long talon

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

And you would be an imbecile and definition off insanity thinking repeating Koivu parise suter and etc in same roles = better success than the past 3 years.

So are you advocating moving Suter down to the 3rd pairing as well?

You're not really making much of an argument. Mostly just embarrassing yourself at this point.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Same goes for holy bazeek. His honest and always passive aggressive friendly responses doesnt mean hes right ;]

Quite the passive aggressive friendly response, if I do say so myself

Quad play. You're just an eclair. 2square. Let's pick this up after next game. See you then.

What am I wrong about in this case? Has Koivu not been our best center so far this year? If he has been, why does he need to "accept his role" on the 4th line?

 

[grN1g]

Truly Minnesotan I'd say. Oop lemme squeeze right by ya bud.

Actually chuckled at that one, well played

Best center at shutting down chances for the better lines but hindering everything in scoring. You saying hes the answer to get more scoring vs sticking him in what he excels at is misleading to these teenagers and old folk.

Which Wild center is creating more offense than Koivu right now?

Lol thanks guy. Cheers.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Not a fair question since there isn't an answer that justifies his argument. - 1 points 2pair..... Smh

 

[Soldier13Fox]

It's fun having real and current things to argue and bitch about, cheers fellow Wild fans and goodnight.

Well it's hard to argue someone deserves more playing time with better players than playing minimal minutes a night with grinders but considered the better of the 3 on the line?
