Post-Game Talk: Golden Slumbers

i agree with your premise but i think you have the math backwards.. talent gets you in the top half of the league. Will is what separates winners from losers come spring.

Fair.

Once there was a way…

I can’t get myself to watch again until Lindgren is banished from the Fox pair. It all just feels pointless

he was actually ok this game and had a nice hit in the first

I agree with both. Lindgren played ok…made a couple good plays and his mistakes weren’t exploited. But also…I won’t feel comfortable until he’s out of the lineup. Why they’re letting Jones rot in favor of Lindgren is vexing. Completely senseless.

You know why. One guy is a small 3rd round pick and the other guy is a vet that makes splash gritty plays once in a while.

Don't forget the fact that our "star" d-man is most likely WAY more comfortable with Lindgren than he would be with Jones.

Just watched the replay bc I missed it live.

I'm no different than anybody when it comes to K'Andre's brainfarts and how frustrating he can be, but if the hate feels unfair it's because of games like this one, where he was legitimately dominant and we won, against a great team, and there is just radio silence about it. This is true more broadly about defensmen, I think, but a player like Miller especially so. Mostly because what made him great wasn't a bunch of plays that many appreciate as great plays in real time. Miller has that potential to be such an elite play killer. Loved seeing it tonight. Borgen's been a good fit with him.

Also though Mika had his best game so far this year and he's strung a few good ones together now. He's not there yet. That give-and-go where he whiffs on the one-timer at the high slot is exhibit A. Still, encouraging signs--really really hope it continues. For the first 40 mins I thought he was the best player on the ice.
