Zuccarello gets some rest, smart move after all those minutes on the ice.

So here's a chance for Boldy to make an impact on the top line. But I doubt we'll see more from him than we already do when he's playing with the same guys on the PP.

Is Buffalo a good team? I get confused. Sometimes they reel off a string of wins, then I look up, and they have backslid.

They score a ton, but let a lot in.

If you call being injured "getting rest"
Of course, since it's the 2nd half of the season, he's about on schedule for the injuries to get in the way. He's not getting any younger, his injury prone ways certainly won't disappear as time goes on. By the time the playoffs get here, he'll be hampered again to the point of uselessness as usual.

Probably not, depending on your definition of good. Hungry would be a better description imo.

Are we talking about Brodin, MAF, Spurgeon, or Zucc?

Zuccarello. The old skater who is never getting any better nor will have a health breakthrough to suddenly be healthy at the end of the season when it has never happened yet in a Wild uniform.

 

[BagHead]

Yes.

8-0 loss without our Lord and Savior in the lineup. Boldy injures Kap somehow, for the rest of the season.

I can try to answer that. They’re half a good team. They are the highest scoring team in the league. Their goalie situation was a disaster that has moved to kind of decent lately. They had an 8 game pointless streak where they had 4 of their top 6 D injured that is keeping them out of a playoff spot.

still…they’re only 6 points out with 5 games in hand. Storms have postponed two of their games and left them lagging behind in games played so it skews things a little.

The most interesting thing is their record when Matthias Samuelsson plays. He was out for that 8 game disaster. They were 4-1 before he was injured. Went 3-10 with him out. Since he’s returned they’re 12-4-2

its one of the damndest splits you’ll ever see.

So…are they good? Well…they score their way out of a lot of trouble they make for themselves. And if they can get all of Dahlin, Power and Samuelsson on the ice they can limit the amount of trouble they make.

so…sometimes?

So Bedard isn't out of reach, is what you're saying

 

[The Enemy Within]

This should be interesting! Get all the points! Go Wild!

I'm not a fan of these BUF sweaters.

I like them, but that was what they were wearing when I first watched hockey. I think they are kind of different. Then again, I tend to like almost all of the Buffalo sweaters. I stress the word "almost." lol

 

[Digitalbooya]

Rossi just scored for Iowa.

Buffalo is putting a lot of pressure on the Wild

So you were the one fan that liked the turdburger sweater... I always wondered who that person was...

Silly Wabit.

 

[AKL]

I'm hard pressed to find a bad Sabres jersey. Most of them are pretty good to great.

 

[Wasted Talent]

I'm watching the Buffalo feed and I'm 90% certain they talked about Zuccarello carrying our offense with Kiprusoff.

 

[AKL]

Thinking Boldy+Kaprizov are gonna have to score at least three points (each) tonight or else some people might decide they can never work together because it didn't work this game.

 

[The Enemy Within]

Dangit. Bad start.

 

[Southern Minny]

MAF kinda hung out to dry on that one, not much he could do.

 

[Wabit]

I like most BUF sweaters (turdburger excluded). This jersey/color scheme just looks too much like something that PIT rejected and Pegula (BUF) said we'll take them if they are cheap.
