Well, that was good and bad. Why is Dupuis on the freaking point?

Not sure because Vitale and Strait were not going to get PP minutes.

 

[thedddd]

I mean, yeah, Nisky was having a rough career in Dallas, but was a high ceiling player. Neal was streaky, but known to have a good shot and was a hard worker, also a winger. Gogo was a guy who could score occasionally, move the puck, but was rather rough in his own zone. Comparing the potential to the potential in that deal is wayyyy lopsided.

Without a doubt!

I think they may have practiced it because of the Letang suspension. But sheesh, we have Michalek and Martin.

Good point by Errey...down to 5 dmen on the second night of a back to back.

Let's mark that as the first time!

Anyway yeah that makes sense why Dupuis was on the point. Also the fact it was a 4 minute PP they couldn't afford Martin, Michalek, Niskanen out there for that long.

Yeah, it was a bad change. Dupuis turns it over as Sully was changing for Martin, basically a 2 on 0.

Man we're taking a lot of penalties tonight.

 

[evolver115]

I don't know what to say? they are three short on the bench, four if you throw in Tanger

 

[pixburgher66]

So, Engo takes a puck to the face and the Wild continue play pretending it didn't happen, take a few shots, and the whistle is only blown after the puck is frozen by Beej. Seriously?

 

[pixburgher66]

No clue how that didn't go into the net. Wow.

 

[sbb122]

Is it just me or does this bug anyone else?

When Steigerwald refers to Michalek as zy-BEEN-ek, and then 30 seconds later calls him zy-BEN-ek?

Make up your fucking mind!

 

[sbb122]

Nice shot #18...

 

[pixburgher66]

ANOTHER penalty. Sheeshkabobs. Glad Johnny's okay.

 

[pixburgher66]

Shorty was pretty, then a blah play by Staal avoiding a check leads to an answer.

 

[pixburgher66]

Well, Neal with a beauty, Staal finally finishing a close in opportunity, Kunitz finishing at last. Great night for our "big scorers" on the roster right now.
