Dumba.
Granlund.
Neiderreiter.
Coyle.
Haula.

This would be my list...plus Fontaine, Brodziak, and Stoner.

Considering that Stoner and Dumba were the first pairing tonight playing hard minutes, I liked what I saw.

 

[TaLoN]

LOL at Bob Kurtz and Tom Reid calling Setoguchi invisible...

 

[rynryn]

not that i'm defending him, but that one extra roughing was ********. and he should have actually drawn one by refusing to fight kane, who clearly interfered with him. medvec i mean.

I thought Dumba - Blum was our first pairing?

LOL at Bob Kurtz and Tom Reid calling Setoguchi invisible...

Except when he gained our zone... Blew a tire... Then turned over the puck.

 

[TaLoN]

Reid mentioned Medvec as playing well tonight.

 

[Casper]

stupid hit by medvec. it was irresponsible for sure but it certainly wasn't that vicious. I dont think Im gonna like Evander Kane that much...

I could be mistaken but I thought I saw Stoner with Dumba and Prosser with Blum most of the night.

 

[Caior89]

Dumba IMO was the most impressive tonight. Granlund, Coyle, Stoner, Haula, Nino, Brodz and Fontaine all played well

 

[Northland Wild Man]

I'm not really a fan of Kane after tonight.

Decent game minus the penalties.

Maybe Yeo was shuffling pairings.

 

[rynryn]

Medvec wasn't bad, but i wouldn't say anyone on D stood out as good other than Dumba in the "whole-game" sense. Medvec was great in clearing out the crease, Prosser was good at mucking it up around the goalie.

 

[Minnewildsota]

Sweet move by Holla? Huala? Haula?

 

[Beegoalie]

Dumba was outstanding..you can see glimpses of that high ceiling. Granlund,Niño as well..love his bull rush to the net philosophy. Coyle was coyle.. Haula was a pleasant surprise for me..quicker that I thought too

 

[TaLoN]

Saturday Parise, Koivu and Pommer will be in the lineup.

 

[SPMaximus]

Saturday Parise, Koivu and Pommer will be in the lineup.

will it be televised/streamed?

 

[Nharris31]

Pretty good game to many penalties though. Also fan who actually cheer for their team instead of booing.

Everytime I hear Wild fans boo the PP, I just....

doubt it...

Why? If he makes team likely pushes stoner to 7th guy. Which is good. No way will Dumba make it and not be in a big role though. I hope he makes it. He's sure been fun so far this Preaseason.

Because of what you stated. He won't make the team unless he's in a top 3-4 role. I concur. So, do we think he'll beat out Spurgeon or Ballard? It's hard to say.

I really want him to make the team too, I'm probably still ingrained with prospects being rushed under Riser.

I think he makes the team as long as he plays every night. 5th-6th wouldn't be bad for him to start with IMO, as long as he's not sitting in the press box. Allows him to improve and maybe move up the lineup too.

DJ playing Clutch. Generic User would be happy.

Almost as happy as I am to see Dumba dominate. Hope he convinced enough people tonight to jump back on the bandwagon.

I think most sensible people never jumped off in the first place. Just a vocal minority as usual.

You're probably right. For awhile it seemed as if there were only 5 posters who still had faith in him. Especially with Trouba stepping up. Either way, happy to see him do well. Get back in line, haterzzzzzz.
