G Jesper Wallstedt (2021, 20th, MIN)

[MOGlLNY]

A good few days for the best goalie prospects in the NHL with Levi having a terrible game against Seattle as well.

 

[MuckOG]

Hard to blame him with that sorry excuse of a team playing in front of him.

 

[ViD]

Everytime I watched Askarov in the AHL I wasn't impressed at all. He's a very busy goalie that's easy for skilled players to exploit. I know it's possible for a goalie to be busy and successful, ala Hasek and Thomas, but it's rare and I haven't seen it from him yet. I hope I'm wrong, young and exciting talent is good for the league.

He’s dominating the AHL this year though

 

[RedHawkDown]

I’m a bit surprised bc he is usually very good technically.

 

[schuelma24]

I mean he's 21 and really was thrown into it last night. Tough situation to come into.

 

[MNRube]

Another master stroke from Billy Guerin. Lets place this 21 year old directly into the line of fire. Dallas has absolutely owned Minnesota lately and the current Wild roster is completely awful due to injuries.

Why wait until the games against Philly & Arizona when you can feed him to the wolves?

Since when did the GM make lineup decisions?

As for Wallstedt, can't say the team in front of him did anything but he let in multiple muffins himself. Not a good game.

Pretty sure the GM decides who gets the callup and who doesn't and at some point Fleury had to get a night off.

extremely naive to think the brand new coach was behind bringing up the best goalie prospect in the world for his first game. Especially when its common knowledge that the GM is a control freak

 

[ZEBROA]

Looks way worse then it was. One screen. Two 2 on 1. One open net due to bad bounce. Bad position on first. And should have had one or two more. Wanna change him for Samsonov?

So when the GM brings up a goalie, he plays the next game? Second game? Third game? Never?

You know who decides that, right?

Dallas called up Matt Murray and he didn't play for a month. So was that Nill or Deboer?

Comparing a journeyman G to one of the most hyped goalie prospects in years is really terrific logic.

Telling me that your GM picks your line up really is terrific logic.

You don’t know our GM

Never said Guerin picked the lineup. But obviously he is going to have a heavy hand in deciding how his most prized prospect debuts. You simply don’t know what you’re talking about

Then he judgement needs to be judged itself. Because he picked a real shitty team to start him in. And then the coaches decision to let him get shelled for 7 was the cherry on top in decision making.

 

[ZEBROA]

Why didnt they pull him after 4?

 

[Dr Pepper]

Why didnt they pull him after 4?

Getting pulled in your NHL debut still probably would've been even worse than the night he ended up having.

4 is better then 7(8). Only he knows. Hope they give him a chance to rebound.

 

[ZEBROA]

Bad management. Why throw him to the wolfes and then send down with no chance to bounce back?

 

[f7ben]

Bad management. Why throw him to the wolfes and then send down with no chance to bounce back?

Because the team is run by idiots and watched by a lot of idiots.

He'd be playing tonight if Gustavsson didn't get healthy. Just a timing thing.

 

[Mobiandi]

Wolf is so much better

 

[ZEBROA]

He'd be playing tonight if Gustavsson didn't get healthy. Just a timing thing.

And bad decision thing.

 

[AintLifeGrand]

I think any reasonable human now has discerned Askarov has surpassed Wallstedt as the big man on campus
