GDT: Game 57: Vegas Golden Knights @ Minnesota Wild | 5:00 | We need more Wild... Wild Bill would be nice

[theslatcher]

Ok, advanced stats time: Patches-Bill-Stone is a fantastic line. Generated more in under 2 minutes than the whole team has the whole game, not a high bar, but compared to other games it's also fantastic. Who could have possibly predicted putting those 3 together is a good idea?

Lawless lit into the team - good for him. Didn't make excuses. Basically said they look slow, disorganized, didn't even care enough to defend the guy who defends them when he got hit in the, ahem, groin.

Will this performance finally shed that belief that some hockey pundits have stubbornly held onto that seemingly pencils in Vegas to the WCF? That seems to be the consensus, Vegas should waltz into the conference final in the Pacific and then there's only four teams left so who knows?

We can't even look good against the Wild, no slam dunk we beat the Oilers, Canucks, Flames or Coyotes.

I’m tired of hearing that the advanced stats say we’re awesome and that we just need to wait and be patient because this will turn around. People said that last season too and the team started playing worse before the Stone trade got things going (but only for a little while).

You said season wrong there Dave.

 

[hangman005]

If it's the 58th game, who before me got the wrong game

 

[hangman005]

WTF was that... we deserved to get scored on then...

We deserve to be down by so much more than 4-0

 

[hangman005]

I've seen enough... get the plane in the air, these bums can walk home.

I just want to say that DeBoer has done a phenomenal job transforming the special teams play.

 

[Nevada Jones]

Killed!

 

[hangman005]

Killed!

By Minnesota, it looked like they went "Hey, they aren't trying, why should we?"

Remarkable change innit?

 

[hangman005]

With how slow we are playing a snail would smother us.

 

[HanSolo]

Embarrassing loss. At least I hope the players are embarrassed. If not we might as well start buying up our draft guides now.

Apparently someone had to get Stretched of the blues bench in their game vs the ducks

[Nevada Jones]

Finally it's over. Pathetic.

 

[hangman005]

Woohoo we got exactly what we deserved.... well actually it looked like it should have been 10-0

 

[HanSolo]

Yeah that's an all-time stinker. Absolutely pathetic performance. A good team would have demolished this Wild team tonight.

 

[theslatcher]

Fun facts:

• The only lines with high danger chances were Patches-Bill-Stone & Eakin-Bill-Tuch.
• The only PK to not let in a goal was the only PK to feature Bill(who played 1:45 of it and had 1 CF, 0 CA).

 

[Knightmare]

Subban with the shutout!

 

[hangman005]

Apparently Jaybouw Collapsed

Dad's trip too

 

[Super Cake]

I honestly would sell at the deadline.

Then in the offseason, get some f***ing defense and get a better f***ing backup.

 

[Knightmare]

I really hope no trades are made. There isn’t a trade that could help this team. They could trade Cody Eakin for Alex Ovechkin with 100% salary retained and the only thing that would change is that Ovi would start to suck.
