My God. They did it.

[Roboturner913]

[Hulkacaniac]

You say that like it’s a good thing.

This is the best the powerplay has looked all night.

Must be a coincidence that Faulk and Hamilton were out there together.

 

[DougieSmash]

faulk looks really good tonight

 

[Canes]

I like how Roddy doesn't change up lines every period like Peters but he's gotta do something about the PP combos.

 

[Unsustainable]

I think we need to hit them more

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

I hope that our fans are going to be patient with the kids. They've make some really bad plays early in the season but it's just growing pains. So far they have not really cost us yet.

First good PP tonight, some solid chances, and we couldn't capitalize because Wild kept taking guys out who were in prime scoring position

 

[DougieSmash]

good game from hamilton so far

 

[Negan4Coach]

These refs are buck wild, huh?

 

[HisIceness]

Dreading the 3rd. You know Minnesota is coming out ultimate warrior style, they know they just need one shot and they are back in it.

 

[DaveG]

Shots are 37 - 8... seriously

Yup.

Devan has made some good saves

 

[Led Tasso]

It must be nice to have a goalie like Dubnyk to bail you out when your outshot by 30 in two periods. If they had one of our goalies you are probably looking at a 5-1 game right now. Dub is unreal

Tripp mentioned Ferland's curve as a Lidstrom, he is referencing the classic Easton Lidstrom retail pattern. Part of the reason I've admired the guy is because I noticed he's using it. It's actually a very good forward curve if you've got the hands to handle it. It's a squared off deep heel/mid curve that's twisted ridiculously open, its the easiest curve in the world to shoot over the glass with. It adds a ton of velocity to your shot though and makes it easy to roof from in tight. I've played with NCAA and minor league guys who use it as skill players and it's remarkable to watch because it has NO backhand or toe and skill guys who can dangle with it are impressive. Rob Shremp used it, if you go look at his old highlights - I can't think of another NHL'er using it right now. At this level you have to play simple with it, and work hard not to shoot too high. I like that he uses it, as it works well for power forwards as it's also a "tall" curve so more surface area for bouncing pucks and helps them get the shot up from tight. The other companies make versions of it, he's using a CCM.

He uses it very well, if you're familiar with it and have a half decent set of mitts you know what I'm talking about.

Quality insightful post. One day I will make one. Maybe...

Same. Almost to 20k and they've all been pretty much a waste of internet space.

Let's see what the kids are made of.

I think Canes under Peters start the game strong while Rods team builds a game and gets stronger and stronger. Our speed probably really tires opponents too.

Apparently that's still not good enough for some Wild fans.

 

[Wolfpuck]

At least we're up 2-1 instead of down 2-1.

Finally got power back burn of course no internet so can't stream. Reading all this sounds like classic canes but maybe they are starting to turn things around. Bleedgreen I was intrigued by your curve post- is this the same lidstrom curve that was basically equivalent to a zetterberg curve? I haven't played much over the last few years but I had a lidstrom/zetterberg curve that I loved that I think now is called a p9? I don't remember and am too lazy to dig out my sticks and look...

They can feel free to send him our way...
