GDT: G49: Flames @ Wild | 6PM

So, I get it. He's young and while technically not, but still kind of a rookie. But, Ohgren doesn't look bad, per se, but seems like he's running a little slow and not super decisive.

 

[NHL1674]

Good 1st period.

 

[MK9]

Has it really been 11 minutes without a post, or am I not refreshing.....

You're caught in an alcohol related time warp is all.

He's probably slow to "keep up" with Freddy and Foligno.

I like the idea of playing Öhgren with Rossi. If he could show the same dedication to hard work this summer like Rossi did the last couple of years, he should be more ready next season.

Imagine how slow he'd have to go to keep up with Zucc...

 

[NHL1674]

Couldn't he carry Zucc on his back? Or would that create an offside?

[Sweetnut]

Let's go, boys!

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Kaps looking good. I hope that the extended missed games was a conscious decision to make sure he was healed 100%. He looks it

Every time I hear backlund I picture Bob Backlund from the WWF. Loved him as a kid

Edit.... not just picturing Bob Backlund, but Bob Backlund in his suspenders in skates playing hockey

 

[NHL1674]

Enjoy your suspension, Lauko.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Oof, Lauko. That's not good

I'm fine if they confirm this 5 minutes

 

[Sweetnut]

I don't like that hit by Lauko. Right in the numbers.

 

[NHL1674]

It's a 5 minute, well earned. Just a stupid, stupid play.

Shut up, Walz. That one is on Lauko 100%

 

[Puhis]

So they don't call that interference on Lauko right before at all?

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Wow

 

[AKL]

I really think two minutes is the right call, I just don't know what else Lauko was supposed to do there

 

[NHL1674]

That is a major all day long. I'd be livid if it was a Wild player hit in the numbers like that.

 

[Puhis]

I really think two minutes is the right call, I just don't know what else Lauko was supposed to do there

But according to Sportsnet, Lauko should be public enemy number one! I just don't know who to believe!

Bad play by Lauko. There's a difference between playing hard and aggressive, and playing to hurt someone. Pretty clear hit from behind into the boards. Hope Bahl doesn't have a concussion.

Ya, for once Walz is right.bhebwas positioned to go behind the net, and tried to go back against the grain. Still boarding but nullifies the intent factor

 

[AKL]

I get why they'd be pissed, it looked ugly, but when Bahl just throws on the brakes suddenly, Lauko can't even react fast enough to change anything, he just braced for impact

 

[Soldier13Fox]

On slow mo replays I now agree. Bad outcome, but Lauko was kind of jammed up. Live view it looked bad

 

[Puhis]

Bad play by Lauko. There's a difference between playing hard and aggressive, and playing to hurt someone. Pretty clear hit from behind into the boards. Hope Bahl doesn't have a concussion.

Maybe Bahl shouldn't hit the brakes right in someone's face next time.

 

[NHL1674]

Lauko better keep his head up as well as everyone else.
