GDT: Lame Day Thread: 13 Dec 2014 - Wild @ Coyotes - 7PM - FSN

[rynryn]

put Nino out there for crying out loud

you clearly missed that shift late in the third where he lost three puck battles in a row.

 

[Northland Wild Man]

Good win?

With everyone out I say yes. It wasn't pretty but a win is a win.

 

[Generic User]

Good win? I'll take the two points anyway we can get it at this point. Good win.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

This is where I stand as well. After that however it ends in a tie.

Nah, I'd still take the SO after 10 minutes, but would also like the 3 point system incorporated at the same time.

 

[TaLoN]

San Jose is up 1-0 on the Preds right now
Chicago lost in regulation to the Islanders
Winnipeg lost in regulation to the Ducks
St.Louis and the Avs are tied at 1 right now

Lemme guess, Under Armor sponsors Zach Parise - he's always decked out in their gear in post gamers.

 

[Northland Wild Man]

Parise mentioned the bad ice this game and last game. He said something along the lines of not being able to make the shifty moves and having to play a very basic game.

thought he was talking about the dry scrape before the shoot out?

Is there anywhere on the inter-webs that keeps track of what the standings and records would look like under the current system, the old system, and the 3 point system?

Not sure.

I haven't seen one lately, but I've seen them done in the past, and surprisingly there isn't much difference, especially for the really good teams and the crap teams. It might make a difference around the wild card spots.

Will gladly take those 2 points considering the catastrophe that is our blueline. Two PP goals on the road too. Good to see. Finally a game where our special teams stepped up and won it.

 

[Wild11MN]

Left the thread for the last two periods, but awesome call on the 'only guy who can score on the a breakaway' OP.

Huge win, since we can't really expect to win at Chicago the way they're playing.

 

[Northland Wild Man]

Not sure.

The standings aren't all that different.

Yeo: "What we talked about yesterday...."

You mean what you yelled at them yesterday.

Spurg with just the flu bug. Good news....well not for him. But you get the point.

 

[Jarick]

Well, two crappy periods of hockey, a good push in the third, and they get two points. I'm not happy with the process but the outcome is great.

I really thought the team didn't respond well to the chew out yesterday. Flat in the first again. I know they had about two NHL defensemen out there but come on.

Did Nino really get benched in OT? Wow.

 

[Ceiu]

Just finished watching the game on delay... Ugh. Arizona's announcers are probably the worst homers I've ever heard. I feel sorry for any casuals who tune in -- no chance in hell they'll understand how penalties should be called with those two jackasses narrating the game.

Glad for the two points, but we really need our proper d-men to be healthy and/or not suspended. Forwards weren't as crappy as they've been, but still could have stepped it up. Though, I will admit it was probably pretty awful having to dump it around the yotes' neutral-zone defense all night.

Yep. And he scored another goal tonight. So he had some turnovers in the 3rd.....has Yeo benched Coyle when he's done the same? Doubt it. Our other vets have been turnover machines, yet do they sit? Who has a better chance of doing something....Nino, one of your leading scorers or Coyle? That kid must have Polaroids on the coach. Bet Nino is looking forward to the day when Yeo gets canned.

Hey, maybe those Islander fans were right....

 

[PariseNation]

Yup, definitely missed that. Still think it's good to go with our goal leading sniper and to mix things up a bit.

Crazy to think Brodin is still only 21 and can play 30 minutes of shutdown hockey with ease.

Seems like the only goals he is on the ice for are shots at a wide open net that he nearly blocks.

He has probably forever warped our expectations for young defenders on the Wild.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Not too concerned about Nino and OT; outside of the tip-in, he was pretty invisible most of the night.

From Russos blog.

Brodin has been ridiculously good lately. Plus-8 in seven games since returning from the mumps. His plus-14 was tied for fourth among NHL blue-liners.

Scandella is back Tuesday... hopefully Spurgeon is over his stomach virus by then and we can get in another rare occasion... a game with all 4 of our top 4 D-men.

Good win. 2 points was the goal. 2 points we received.

Parise is just so damn good. That tying goal, great shot in the shoot out.

I hate how we continue to be behind in games played. I can't stand it. I want us to catch up so are truly where we should be in the standings. For example, if we played 3 more games we'd surely overtake the Jets.

Florida and Minnesota are the only two teams who have only played 28 games with most teams at 30 games played.
