GDT: 10/31/15 - Wild @ Blues - 7PM CT / 2AM Suomi - FS-N

[Laredo]

This is random but my love for Zucker is approaching This Providenceian levels. Kid is so much fun to watch...he does everything.

The moment I saw him breakout of the wild defensive zone past 5 red wings defenseman to score a great goal I knew he was something special to watch.

Moment I watched him (poor AHL stream, cause of the NHL lockout) break into the o-zone and snipe one short side 5 seconds into OT I loved him.

I loved him first! I'm cooler!

 

[Avder]

Zucker hipsters?

Ugh!

 

[this providence]

Still first.

 

[Avder]

Still first.

I gotta admit, of all the hipsters I've seen, he appears to be the hipsterest of them all.

 

[hipchecks]

Looks like Dubnyk is in tonight.

 

[Lapa]

^Thank god.

 

[J22*]

^Thank god.

I've had a bunch of different thoughts watching Dubnyk play this year. Thanking God for him, hasn't been one that has crossed my mind yet.

 

[Sharppi]

Watched Preds-Kings.

HOLY POOPARONI, the 3on3 OT is so stupidly entertaining. I'm starting to advocate actually moving on to full time 4on4 hockey.

Also, Doughty, Toffoli & Carter are like really good.


On to this game! Blues squad looks quite depleted, they are without 3 of their best guys. We need to capitalize on that.

Actually 5 of our better players. Shattenkirk, Statsny, Schwartz, Tarasenko, and Berglund. In addition, Fabbri was out for 4 or 5 games and Lehtera missed all of preseason. It's really surprising that the Blues are 7-2-1.

Better him than Kuemper.

Wow. That's a lot of money and even more, important guys on the IR. Lets see how shaky our goaltending is today though, it just might make this a game too. Our D and goaltending has been... questionable these past games. Wild offense can't carry the load whole season so we better pull our things together.

 

[The Enemy Within]

Good win last night against Chicago, but we can't allow those type of goals. Have to really step up defense.
I'm really glad Dubs is starting tonight. Hopefully it will be a lot better game by him. Go Wild!

 

[J22*]

Better him than Kuemper.

Not based on their play this season it isn't.

 

[kfan22]

Yes Dubnyk hasnt played as well this year! But I think that was a given his play wouldnt be at the level it was last year! But he is 7-2 this year and that is all that matters and 1 of the loses he came in relief and got the loss because the Wild rallied

Above average was all that I was really hoping for. Maybe close to being a top 10 goalie if things went well. Dubnyk hasn't come close to that.

 

[Avder]

Not sure I like Duby starting this one.

First, I have a feeling that his knee might still be bugging him, in which case he should probably take advantage of the extended break and get an extra days rest for it.

Second, we're gonna need to play in front of Kuemper at some point this season. Better to try to get the wrinkles out of his game now instead of later on when points are even more critical.

 

[behemolari]

Beatable.

Edit: And no idea why Backes is centering the 4th line. But it's kind of hilarious.

came here to doom and gloom as expected Kuemper in.. then saw this, should be close one

edit: ok it's Dubnyk in, we should win this one

 

[Avder]

Yay puck drop.

And Zucker reallllly likes the first 20 seconds of the game.

 

[Bruce Granville]

SO for Dubs...

 

[Lapa]

Well, ****.

Ahem

 

[Avder]

Hm. That puck went out of bounds.

Blargh.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Unbelievable

 

[123TripleDoge]

puck out of play, not blown dead, then doobs craps the bed

disgusting
