GDT: WDSF Game 4: Golden Knights @ Wild - 7:00 PM CT - NBC, TVAS, SN

Bright side? Looks like the applications for wilds new head coach search this off season will be in high demand by the looks of this sub these past few weeks.

Tits jacked.

 

[P10p]

That's not what was happening, but I really enjoy the fact that I'm in your head rent free.

Yes, because you crying about people suggesting that Boldy might not be placed in the lineup is living rent free.

I just love how you called us "whiners" yet here you are in this thread, whining...

 

[Bazeek]

Nah, earlier in the week he was roasting anyone who had the stance that boldy might not play, calling us "whiners"?

If you mean this then it's pretty much a case in point. I get that it's become a contentious topic, but Parise in for Johansson and a taxi-squad plug-in on the 4th line is the most status-quo move possible. I don't recall anyone really predicting that Evason would do otherwise here.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I’m going to “enjoy” Rau just being there.

He was actually calling people complaining about those that wanted Boldy to play “whiners”.

Boldy has zero experience, not only in the playoffs, but in the NHL. So I fully understand why they want to go easy, and not throw him into a high pace playoff game.

And that's the latest Guerin failure being discussed

 

[57special]

Rau in for Bjugstad seems wrong. They should be playing together and channeling 2011.

[GordieGallant]

Minnesota needs a newer and fresher reporting voice for the Wild. Russo's been a mouthpiece for years and refuses to press on questions the fans actually care about.

 

[Nino Noderreiter]

To anyone saying that you can’t throw Boldy into the playoffs for his 1st game:

It’s almost like you could have given Boldy some run in the last games of the regular season to see how he looks against NHL pace to make a better and more informed decision on how your current best offensive prospect (Rossi is working back to speed) looks in case you need a potential talent injection in a playoff series.

Glad we got to see a couple of games of Johansson, Bjugstad, Rask, etc in barely meaningful games that had zero chance of making a potential positive difference.

 

[GordieGallant]

Between the Wilds lack of interest in game 3, the horseshit officiating in the NHL, and the 9:30 start time Monday night I have just about had it with this league.

They better come out and play hard for 60 minutes because the last game was pathetic.

 

[Puhis]

You know, Parise does at least generally give his all. Rau is experienced and slots in well on the 4th line. Let's see. I would've liked to see Boldy too, but I also trust our coaching staff to make the right decision. As for the game... Que será, será.

Don’t hear that much here. Most here have a better plan the the coaching staff.

It's all good if they win.

 

[guitarhunterdude]

I just wish there was a real direction. Seems to me like Guerin is thinking the team needs to rebuild and, given Rossi's issues, maybe still draft that 1C we need, but is trying to appease Leipold's desire to win now without really committing to winning. You can't convince me that he actually thought we could go into this year with this center lineup and be a playoff team; the plan must've been to get Rossi some experience in a throwaway year while we get another lottery pick. Kap, Talbot and our d-corps end up being too good for that to happen, so now we're stuck with a group that won't contend but isn't bad enough to build up the prospect pool either. And it kinda seems like we'll be stuck in limbo for the foreseeable future given the likely decline of our d-corps in conjunction with any improvement in the forward group.

This is a tough position to navigate and I don't think Guerin's the guy to do it. But then I thought Sakic was an absolute joke and Bowman was a genius 5 years ago, and look how the tables have turned for those franchises.

Did you hear how Berube, head coach of the Blues trashed the officials in public? He probably has some league reaction coming, but I love it, that guy has balls.

Really sick of the faceoff tutorial 50 times a night. Drop the f***ing puck.

 

[The Enemy Within]

Well, we definitely need to get a good start in this one, and just an idea, but maybe we don't let our foot off the gas? Yeah, that sounds like a good recipe to win in the playoffs.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

This is just 4D chess to keep Fiala’s AAV under 6.

 

[Webster]

 

[2Pair]

Did Pierre just cal MAF a great teammate?

 

[Bazeek]

Wait, so Rau gets the spot opposite Fiala?

Prove me wrong, Kyle.

 

[Wild11MN]

WTH??? No penalty on Dumba? It's a miracle.

 

[Nino Noderreiter]

You just can’t be good in the playoffs without winning face offs. Possession is too difficult

I think 4v4 probably would have ended up with more offensive chances than that garbage.
