GDT: G2 - Wild @ "Stars" - 8:30pm CT on ESPN(?)

[Roman Maroni]

Need to get some offense out of Zucc and Foligno. More than a point every third or 4th game.

 

[TaLoN]

i think it may be time separate 97 & 36.

Overdue

Already getting late fees and angry notes from the librarian

 

[The Enemy Within]

Boston got spanked. You love to see it


Would love to see what he and Kap could do.

Let's see if Colorado can get spanked now.

Go Wild Go

Gus could have given up the exact same goals and you wouldn't be saying shit.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Nyquist individually is 3x the player that Zucc is even if Zucc can be a good facilitator. Zucc doesn't create on his own. Nyquist can enter the zone with speed, protect the puck wide, had nice vision and touch, and has a nose for getting pucks to the net.

He looks real good, generates consistently and great feeds.

Kraken looked good last night. Best ive seen that defense play in the last 2 years. And Gru cant forget about his play.

Yet, didn't I say before the game, switch goalies once cracks show? You ride the hot goalie when he's hot, once he's not, switch.

Just ask JL in 2003.

Even more overdue than that. I think Evason has a public library collection showing up on his credit report for $27.65 unpaid

 

[f7ben]

I’m not blaming Fluery here , but it’s just so stupid to not ride a hot goalie

 

[JiricekSaveUs]

If we don’t give up 6 I’ll personally consider it a win

 

[Roman Maroni]

They definitely weathered the storm after some pretty bad play and gained momentum as the period went on.

People are just running with a narrative about the goalies.

The other night there were some posts about Gus after the two goals and they weathered the storm. Hopefully they can do it again tonight. It’s just so unpredictable with flower.

Interesting. I bet that's throwing his FICO score into the penalty box.

Anything to fit a narrative. Just cause JL did it doesn't mean that this team needs to do it.

 

[Southern Minny]

Zucc and Kap just need to shoot, this is playoff hockey, not many highlight goals this time of year, just your smashmouth hockey goals from here on out.

I would’ve liked to see Gus again too, but he didn’t exactly look great early on in his start either.

No doubt about it

I peg Dean as more of a home library kind of guy.

No other coach I have ever seen would bench a goalie after the performance Gus had. This is absurd.

Gus could have given up the exact same goals and you wouldn't be saying shit.

But at least the thought process leading to him starting is solid.

If I'm wrong, and he actually couldn't go because he was "tired", then whatever, but I have extreme doubts about it.

To me, and this is just my thought, is that the organization is content with the split and are using the 1.5OT as a reason to go with a guy that they like playing, for whatever reason that might be. Of course I'm sure they don't think that playing Fleury is throwing in the towel or anything, but it's still pretty unprecedented.

I have hail falling outside...

7 month old puppy's first thunderstorm....started barking every time it went boom.

That's what I'm saying! Gus gave up 2 goals in 2 minutes. Fleury gave up 2 in 7 minutes. The team definitely didn't allow the type of opportunities that Dallas scored on today when Gus was in net.

The question for me is does the team play worse in front of Fleury? So far, I'd say yes.

His first playoff start, nerves settling in is normal. He settled in and became elite

I hope he doesn't develop a fear of storms. That can be really annoying.
