GDT: G67: Wild vs Blues | 7PM CDT

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Can we not make Marat the new Fiala? He was one of the worst offensive players in the NHL. It’s not like he was a healthy scratch either. He got almost 82 games to show signs of life and just never did.
It’s not making him the new Fiala. It was a completely unnecessary move. Fiala had justification for moving.
 
Which forwards were on the ice?
Rossi, Foligno, Zuccarello, Spurgeon, and Chisholm were the players on the ice. Players that touched the puck after the stick broke: Chisholm(x3), Spurgeon (x2), Zuccarello, Rossi(x2).

By the time Rossi touched the puck the second time, the blues player was back with their stick.

Brutal
 
His play immediately before the goal is special. He isn’t a lazy player. He is a strong forechecker; he beats a defender that has 10 feet on him to the puck to maintain offensive possession and then gets that shot off that results in a goal.

The guy has never looked “bad” and it made no sense to trade him away for a 27 year old slow UFA. It’s an inexcusable trade.

In the likeness of Mike Tice, ok, calm down. Marat has only 4 shot attempts in over 60 minutes of ice time, some of that on the PP and none shorthanded. Two have hit the net and just happened to go in. They sprung him on a breakaway which is the one thing he can do (and actually scored that time), and the second was a the type of shot that takes a prayer to go in. He's done nothing with Boston with the elevated opportunity to say he's we gave up some legit offense. And like has been mentioned, suddenly the PK looks better.

Now the return in Brazeau has been shunned by the coach and unfortunately been useless, but the only thing I don't like about the deal is throwing in the 6th. Getting rid of a couple contracts is important for next year.

He’s got 2 goals in 4 games.

He wasn't the primary PKer either. Knowing you’re in favor of the trade usually favors the alternative.
