[TaLoN]

Wow, a lot of people here can't tell 16 from 56? Are you all Dan Terhaar or something?!

 

[Avder]

Thank you very much, Stoner! Glad to see you finally earning what we used to pay you

 

[Puhis]

Seriously, dat speed. And dat shot.

Hey now. Both Greenlay and Lapanta were saying Haula.

 

[FinPanda]

Haula has been very good. BUT ZUCKER!

 

[The Enemy Within]

It would be easier to read the numbers if I was at a better angle to the tv right now. lol But no excuses. lol

 

[NHL1674]

I love Nino's willingness to get in the paint and ruffle some feathers.

 

[Puhis]

To be honest, he earned his salary on that breakaway goal last year.

 

[Avder]

Nino got clotheslined.

 

[bobman543219]

Hey now. Both Greenlay and Lapanta were saying Haula.

That was your first mistake

 

[W75]

Haula is finding his game, he's been good tonight.

 

[Northland Wild Man]

Good job Nino, get right on top of him.

Who do they think they are? Mike Goldberg?

 

[Puhis]

It's truly amazing when I really can't think of a better spot for Zucker than where he is right now. True, he'd look good on that 2nd line RW, but then again, so does Fontaine.

It's a good problem to have though. I don't mind Zucker on the 4th line, if he gets regular PP and PK minutes. In fact, he SHOULD be used a bit sparingly, since he relies on that explosive speed. 4 on 4 OT with him and Haula as forwards? Gimme a hell yeah.

 

[NHL1674]

Hey....I fell victim to the stupid tv crew. Was on the pc, heard them credit Haula, and typed before watching the replay.

Damn you, FSN

He's figuring out how to earn his way to keeping himself in the NHL, and that is GREAT news for the Wild!

 

[NHL1674]

Gut feeling says the gates will open for Vanek after he gets that first goal.

 

[melinko]

Anyone else feel like Vanek looks just as fast or maybe even faster than Koivu?

 

[Puhis]

Is it just me or does Fonz look quite a bit stronger than last year? Seems to be able to hold his own just fine along the boards.

 

[Sharppi]

Well, Zucker continues to impress

 

[Willdo8302]

I want Zucker to move up the lines but how nice is it having a guy that can bury it on the 4th.

 

[FVM]

Good morning guys. How's the game so far?

 

[Puhis]

Anyone else feel like Vanek looks just as fast or maybe even faster than Koivu?

That's because he is slightly faster than Mikko. What makes Vanek look quick is his tremendous agility, he just dances around the offensive zone with the puck on his stick and makes it look effortless. I guess that's why some people deem him as lazy, because he does that way to an untrained eye.

 

[gphr513]

Whoa, Kuemper. Knucklepuck?

Oh boy, fisticuffs!

 

[StealthClobber]

Get outta here Getzlaf.
