GDT: GAME #71 | CAPS @ WILD | 7PM CT, 2AM FIN | Insert CAPS LOCK joke here

dubnyk played well, our D left too many caps all alone in front of the net thats why we lost. the 3 new additions dont look very fast , we need to get back that overall speed game.

Well, that was pretty rough. I don't know how much of the ******** tactics you guys saw on the broadcast, but for those who were there I'm sure they've already posted the litany of offenses.

The Wild got hosed with a lot of calls, almost like it was an NBC broadcast to the East Coast (or...maybe it's because they turned down a WC in Washington! CONSPIRACIEZZZZZ) but they did well enough to force a bit of a comeback despite that.

Wish they hit the third goal and got at least a point, felt they deserved it after how the game played out, but c'est la vie. 7-4 now...and the Snooze on Saturday. Bleh.

I don't know why Schroeder is still out. They need his speed badly.

I thought Dumba played so great last night. Was all over the puck in both ends.

 

[Wild11MN]

So we played decently? Missed the game.

Can't win them all, and thankfully it was to East team instead of West in the hunt with us. Still wish they at least got a point out of the deal.

 

[DANOZ28]

basically even steven until 5 min left in the 2nd and boom boom down by 2 in 39 seconds. folin scored with 10 seconds left in the 2nd to make it 2-1. they did have like 4 power plays to i think our one. lately our passes have been close but not connecting on the big play. just no puck luck i guess.

Personally, I wouldn't mind sitting a guy like Bergenheim for Schroeder.

This. Stewart has been better than I expected so far but Bergenheim has been very underwhelming since arriving aside from maybe a game or two. Poor Schroeder was playing very well and deserves a spot back in the line-up for now, but we all know Yeo won't give it to him.

Personally, I wouldn't mind sitting a guy like Bergenheim for Schroeder.

Agreed. But they'll need Bergenheim for the bigger bodies teams (Anaheim, St. Louis) as opposed to Schroeder for the more mobile teams (Chicago).

Had about as much even strength TOI as Haula. Bergy doesn't play pp or pk so his toi seems really low if there are many penalties. Haula had 6 minutes pk time.

Makes sense. Although I'd like to see him play a bit more. Wouldn't mind trying him on the PK.
Come playoff time and I think he'll be a really useful asset to this team, he tends to play well under a lot of pressure.

 

[00xtremeninja]

there certainly is a fair amount of pressure right now that he could play well under.............not like we are an instant lock for the playoffs with the remaining 8-10 games of the season
