GDT: G40: Wild @ Hurricanes | 6PM

We are so back. Rossi to Goaldy!!!

 

[NHL1674]

I don't mean any disrespect, Kaprizov is a decent enough player, but Rossi has 8 points in 5 games without Kaprizov, and I think it's fair to say Kaprizov was holding Rossi back.

Was just gonna say.....Kap was holding him back.

 

[MK9]

7 points in his last 3 games now, Rossi that is.

36 points in 40 games.

 

[Sweetnut]

Boldy!!
On the breakaway, that outlet pass from Rossi is just so beautiful.

 

[MK9]

Foligno and smart is an oxymoron

More of a moose than an ox, but...yeah.

Moosymoron? That a thing?

I hear the shuffling of offer sheets.

 

[AKL]

I hear the shuffling of offer sheets.

Call his damn agent

Kap feeling "obligated" to pass to Zucc instead of Rossi was holding Rossi back

It's funny you say this, because while you're joking, there's probably some truth to it. Losing their best player seems to have forced them to act more effectively as a team and rely on each other, while also allowing some other guys to step up (and they have!).

Not gonna lie, I love watching that Zucc one timer.

 

[Webster]

Boldy point...good for him. Lethal when he's alone with the goalie.

I like this idea a lot. It feels like we could get 2 good scoring lines out of those combos.

Boldy point...good for him. Lethal when he's alone with the goalie.

I would love to clip up a highlight real of all of the Boldy posts/near misses over the last 6-7 games.

 

[NHL1674]

Call his damn agent

He had to rush and sign guys like Hartman and Freddy before their final season even started. I don't buy the excuse of waiting to see what the cap will be. Show a little bit of respect and contact his agent.

Makes no sense.

Hopefully Ohgren can be that guy soon.

Last game, depth scoring.
This game, top dog scoring.

I'm only half joking. I was a big advocate of the Rossi effect on Kaprizov earlier in the season. Obviously Kaprizov isn't really holding Rossi back in any meaningful way, but this does help underscore that Rossi isn't just a passenger. He's a not insignificant part of the reason Kaprizov and the team are having success, and I'm very happy for us fans and for him after what he's been through.

 

[MK9]

Goddamn floodgates have opened.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Merril and jones. Team is buzzing 9n all cylinders tonight

 

[BagHead]

Aaaaand the aisles start to fill up.

 

[Nino Noderreiter]

Rossi is now on pace for 73-74 points (31g - 42/43 assists) in 82 games. I think this would be the most ever for a Wild center?

 

[DigitalBoldy]

Was that Merrill?? Lol

Jonesy!

 

[Wasted Talent]

Last game, depth scoring.
This game, top dog scoring.

Carolina trying to keep the trend going
