Confirmed with Link: Granlund (MIN) for Fiala(NSH)

[TaLoN]

Fiala has been nothing short of awesome the past month

Awesome is a bit hyperbolish, he's been good though.

Awesome is a bit hyperbolish, he's been good though.

I mean, he’s been our best offensive producer for over a month now, and since he started playing well we’ve been on fire. I would call that awesome, but I guess everyone has different standards

Since the start of November, both Fiala and Parise have 13pts in 14 and 15 games. Both less than a PPG.

What Pastrnak is doing is awesome (13g in 15games since the start of November, 25 g in 27games on the season). What Fiala and Parise are doing is good.

Why are you policing language now?

Why are you policing language now?

I just thought awesome was a bit hyperbolish a comment. Presenting my opinion, nothing more.

Different people have different standards was mentioned, so I offered my standard. How is that policing anything?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Count me in on the side that a dude can think Fiala is pretty awesome right now.

 

[Nsjohnson]

Fiala is doing awesome right now. Pasta is doing otherworldly. He's in his own goal scoring universe.

But Fiala is really great at the moment, he could have a lot more points than he has too. He has been an engine and FINALLY making smart plays.

 

[P10p]

Fiala has been awesome for us. Actually creating offense. Who knew we had it in us.

 

[Al Lagoon]

What I like about Fiala is that he is aggressive offensively - rare trait on this team.

 

[57special]

Don't worry, we'll beat that out of him.

 

[NHL1674]

Don't worry, we'll beat that out of him.

Unfortunately, you're probably right.

 

[SupremeNachos]

Unfortunately, you're probably right.

It's like that rule in middle school gym class where you have to pass the basketball 4-5 times before someone can shoot it.

 

[fentonsbrainchild]

Fiala didn’t score tonight. We lost the trade.

 

[57special]

one thing that is encouraging about Fiala is that he fights for, and gets, pucks. He's not a floater.

Granlund was out last night with a LBI.

 

[AJ Thelen]

One thing i really like about Fiala is that he looks like he's actually skating faster when he's dangling the puck past defenders in the o-zone.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

If we’re all saying what we like about Fiala, I like the fact that he isn’t a grinder

I’m embarrassed I’m not gonna lie

I just wanted more along with Fiala. I’ve always been a fan of him though. Admittedly I did not think he’d be this good.

 

[Wild11MN]

I called it pathetic. Oops.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

We were obviously still recovering from the Nino/Rask deal and had a reasonable level of mistrust about Fenton making a deal like this.

 

[TheeNorthStar]

Craig better fire this man if it’s a 1 for 1.

And I’m a fan of Fiala but good gracious. Wow. Unbelievable.

Spot on. That’s the thing. I’m excited to see Fiala here but the severe lack of return on all three of his trades have been demoralizing.

(we should've gotten more tho.. still believe that)

 

[Bazeek]

I'm just glad I don't run a hockey team.

 

[fentonsbrainchild]

I liked Fiala before it was cool. Granted it had nothing to do with hockey just that with my family in Zurich I like all Swiss players. Always rooted for him and thought he had potential, would have been shocked a year ago if you told me this is what he turned into.

We moved back to MN in 2008 so I don’t really remember much of anything about Gaborik, but is this what it feels like to have a star player? Cause it’s freaking awesome.

 

[ThatGuy22]

I didn't have any specific comment in this thread, but I stand by my thoughts that Fenton needed to get more for Granlund.

Risk evaluation of that deal was completely off.

 

[MuckOG]

This thread should be required reading for all Wild fans. Lots of lessons to be learned......
