Doing Nothing
Night and day from Anaheim. They were carrying the puck up ice, much better passing, much better in the offensive zone, and it didn't hurt that Edmonton is just TERRIBLE. Seriously, that 18-0 period, Eddy could have had close to a dozen shots if they weren't so stupid and lazy with the puck.
I said the Anaheim game looked like Wild was playing shinny vs an NHL team, and that's basically what Eddy did vs the Wild.
I'm not in love with the lines, but they are better than before. I'm still not sold on Coyle being up now, but there's not a lot of options. Wish we had a second Zucker or Parise as we need more shooters. I like Brodziak on the fourth line. Granlund looked great. Defense very good, liked Falk's game, Spurgeon looks like he did from last year. Backstrom played great.
