i caught a lot of the game on fox n plus #254. i forget if it was radulov that just blew by rask like he was standing still luckily doobs made the save. no room for rask if it was my team. in the 1st & 2nd we looked fast , slower in the 3rd. glad doobs was alright after that save off the mask (needed repair). good game even though our power play was lame. good shot by spur that hit the goalies shoulder normally that's a goal.

It is what it is at this point. You would have liked to get more out of a Nino return, but Nino himself wasn't really getting the job done here either. Better to look forward than to look back.
Good, to my eyes.
There were a few times that he'd carry the puck in, get caught by the defense, and didn't seem to have a clear idea of what his options were so it just kind of fizzled and went the other way. He seems like a very instinctual player, a little like Dumba, which is a double-edged thing. He likes to shoot and make things happen, and he's good at doing it, but I think he needs to settle in.

Blackhawk guy in peace ...
Caught the condensed game you guys look good.
What I read CHI & MIN consensus for bottom dwellers the Central Division and believe me, watching our last go against the Caps, that prediction has more than a bit of merit - brutal spanking from a Cup contender that my club obviously ain't - but you guys looking good.
Big Ryan Hartman guy and he WILL frustrate you at times but I'd take him on my club 8 days a week. Think he'll get you 25 Gs and 55-60 pts total. And sprinkling some salt all the way along. ;-)
My plan this season is to "parlay" Minny & my club against the rest of the Central so pulling for the Wild every game 'cept head-to-heads of course.
Here's to staying healthy as possible & some puck luck too ...
Go Hawks ... And Wild!

Hartman will probably play on the 4th line so im only predicting 10G for him. glad you think highly of his ability, we need it.

25G is optimistic, but Hartman looks like a guy that'll eat a top-6er's lunch if they struggle to produce. I can also see him getting tried as a right shot on the powerplay once that (inevitably) starts to go flat.
I thought he looked good in the first, but then regressed to just flinging the puck around. Had real problems exiting the defensive zone when he got the puck on the half wall. It seemed like he may be a little scared and so he just gets rid of the puck to anywhere before he can get hit.
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, seeing as it was his first game.
Man, I love Boudreau.
If Greenway can find a way to play his best consistently then we've got something. I don't see him ever being a big pojnt getter, but he affects the game, big time, when he's on. The scary thing is that he is only going to get stronger.

Hartman has surprised me. But, I don't think he's a 4th line player. Not just and energy guy … He complements his linemates well and has offensive instincts.

I guess it’s relative to the rest of our top 4. In a vacuum no, but compared to Suter, Spurgeon and Dumba? Easily replaceable.
His skating still blows my mind. One of the smoothest skaters to watch. Also showed some offensive instinct last night.
Seems like one of Suter, Spurgeon and Dumba is always injured, and Brodin is left to Eddie Murphy the bottom-4 with whatever wigs and fat suits they have lying around.

You're 100% correct, no argument from me. Out of the top 4, he is the most replaceable.
But I was more alluding to the, "In a vacuum" side of things. I think he's under appreciated by many fans (not yourself or many folks here) but we know historically our PK takes a massive hit when he's out and replacing the dzone starts and tougher minutes he plays isn't as easy as many think.
Glad we have him while we do!

This is what Fiala does most of the time unfortunately. He hogs the puck, doesn't see the ice very well - both his linemates and defenders - skates himself into trouble, struggles to try to skate himself out of trouble, then turns it over.
All the skill in the world, but not great vision and not the highest of hockey IQ's.
I hope he can improve and become the player Fenton advertised him as... we paid a hefty price for him, gotta root for him to turn it around.
