I also hope the NHL held a conference call with every on-ice official and told them to pull their heads out of their asses.

How about moving Boldy to center where he played well that one game?

You guys make too much sense. That´s not the way he rolls
 
I honestly don't know what Sundqvist brings that Reaves doesn't? Sundqvist skates like he has cement blocks attached to his feet like Reaves. Maybe better hands?

He can actually play the PK, which is one area where Dean has made some terrible personnel decisions. Johansson does not need to be PKing.

I truly believe we are going to see a complete game from the Wild tonight. Boldy and Kaprizov know they need to get going; which Kaprizov traditionally responds well with, Gus is settling in with multiple starts in a row, and we clearly have a successful game plan for Dallas 5v5.

There are far more signs for hope than I’ve been accustomed to with previous Wild teams. Even if we lose tonight I like our odds. I called Wild in 7, but win tonight and I’d feel good about Wild in 6.

Yes he probably has better hands

For all the talk of "learned lessons" from last season, it really does irk me of any inability to try new things from Evason.

I probably like him more than most but he is stubborn like crazy. Sticking to your game works fine at times but when you possibly two games left, get Steel off that 2nd line!!! Rather experiment with Boldy at center and try him with Zucc.

Experiments are for practice, not in a crucial playoff game.

But Evason has been forced to change the lines anyway, Ek is out, and Hartman was out game 2. That said, too bad Fiala isn't here, he and Boldy had something special going.

And I always work under the assumption that there I things the public isn't privy to in practices or in the lockerroom - probably why I'm generally an apologist. Also why I was fine with Fiala leaving.

At the same time, I also accept the fact we are the less talented team skill wise and if some combos don't work, we should be willing to try new things. And if you are looking to get a jump out of the two star players (Kaprizov/Boldy), maybe changing their linemates would do nicely.
