GDT: MIN @ COL - 8PM Central - Rocky Mountain DIE

[keppel146]

Wild better pick up the pace

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Talbot must be playing lights out, eh?

 

[guitarhunterdude]

I figured we'd get a reality check at some point but Jesus Christ this is just brutal.

 

[NHL1674]

Shots 17-1? Silly Avs. They're falling right into our trap.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Yikes

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Double yikes

 

[Uberdachen]

But it was going so well

 

[AKL]

I think this is a pretty good indication that we're not a real contender like some might believe.

 

[NHL1674]

Landescum

 

[GordieGallant]

Dumb....ba

 

[Wild11MN]

Well, at least this 11-minute power play is over now that they scored.

 

[NHL1674]

I don't think many here considered us a real contender. That said, it's one period.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Double flyby on the most talented player on the ice. Not good.

 

[Bruce Granville]

I think this is a pretty good indication that we're not a real contender like some might believe.

Just missing some C and PP...who needs that anyway?

 

[AKL]

I don't think many here considered us a real contender. That said, it's one period.

One period against a team that was actually expected to make the playoffs, and has outclassed us to a degree that we couldn't hope to reach against any team in the league.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I think if you want that to be true, you can use this period as evidence.

 

[Blue Ox]

22-1 on shots

 

[Taylor26]

22-1 shots woof that sounds like a video game?

 

[Dickie Dunn]

I miss the Fiala that could hit the net.

 

[Bazeek]

This game is definitely lopsided, but just looking at the Avs goal differential in home games vs away games... methinks someone in that arena might not know how to count right.

 

[AKL]

I think if you want that to be true, you can use this period as evidence.

I don't want it to be true, I'm just not going to let a bunch of games against teams that didn't even qualify for a 24 team playoff last season convince me we're anything more than a bubble team in a normal year. Some people would look at those games and say we need to start trading high value futures for rentals.

 

[Webster]

Oh this pessimism. Didn't we just beat Vegas twice? The Avs have engaged overdrive, they really respect the Wild. But they won't keep this pace up for 60 minutes.

 

[NHL1674]

How the hell was that not a hook on the Avs?

 

[NHL1674]

I don't want it to be true, I'm just not going to let a bunch of games against teams that didn't even qualify for a 24 team playoff last season convince me we're anything more than a bubble team in a normal year.

Well thank goodness those people aren't the GM, because we have a ways to go before being legit. But they are definitely moving in the right direction.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Would be an incredible time to get the PP going
