Series Talk: Playoff Qualifier Series: Minnesota Wild vs Vancouver Canucks (VAN wins 3-1)

[Dr Jan Itor]

If Zuccarello is our best playmaker then we are truly f***ed.

Fiala is our best playmaker. He's our best everything.

Playmaker in terms of passing abilities.

Kunin, Greenway, Donato, Foligno, Hartman, Parise are not the type of players I think Fiala should be playing with.

 

[TaLoN]

Aight which one of you is this lol

That's Webster

 

[Webster]

That's Webster

My Zuccarello burner account, it's probably 10 years old. But Russo knows the story behind it, otherwise he'd block me. I've had some arguments with him in the past...

 

[Digitalbooya]

Parise-Staal-Fiala
Greenway-Eriksson Ek-Kunin
Galchenyuk/Donato-Koivu-Zuccarello
Foligno-Sturm-Hartman

f*** rewarding Zuccarello’s bad play with putting him on the 1st line.

What’s the story behind it?

 

[grN1g]

Parise Staal Fiala
Donato Koivu Zucc
Greenway Ek Kunin
Foligno Sturm Hartman

Inject some new blood and life with Sturm. He should be rolling 1st game with those 2. Galy I think has to take a seat in this one otherwise your taking out one of donato zucc or kunin for him which idk if thats likely atm.

I actually kind of like it.

 

[thestonedkoala]

Couldn't see the game, but heard that Koivu got banged up?

I don't recall anything of note. Probably just old age?

 

[Uberdachen]

Fiala is our best playmaker. He's our best everything.

Just need him to score quick so we can put him in net and ride to 1-0 glory.

 

[Minnesnota]

I wonder if Kaprizov is watching any of these games.

 

[57special]

Very disappointed in the play of JEE, Greenway, and Kunin. Replaceable players, at this point. Was hoping to see at least one of them pop in the playoffs. Two first rounders and a second rounder.

Wonder what a package of Dumba + 1 of them could fetch in the offseason. Brodin's D is too valuable to trade away IMO

Still can't believe Fiala getting a double minor for a goalie bump and then getting decked in the corner. That hit he took woulda been a double minor during the game, yet somehow it's nothing after the whistle.

 

[NHL1674]

Three straight games without a 5 on 5 goal. Wow.

Agreed. Greenway has been absolute shit. Literally not a single redeeming quality about the games he has played. Really don't understand how he was slotted in a 1st line role opposite of Fiala.

At this point, I don't really care if they lose. If the Hawks, Yotes, and Habs win their series then we're picking in the Top 10.

The Wild have no business up there, the Canucks will most likely send them home tomorrow.

Guerin has a lot work to do...

 

[Uberdachen]

Hunt and Galchenyuk can go space-fight each other for the moon’s hand in marriage.

 

[Ban Hammered]

It's over tomorrow
Our PP is atrocious.

 

[123TripleDoge]

I wonder if coaches would've/could've anticipated this much special teams. They coulda focused solely on PP and PK the entire camp and probably beat anybody lol

 

[Mickey the mouse]

Guerin has a lot work to do...

JEE got 1.5 per year / 2yr bridge

How much do RFA's with no arb Rights get ....
1. Kunin ?
2. Greenway ?

How much does UFA Soucy get offered ?

I don't know how to start a thread If someone wants to help out

 

[57special]

I don't want to just beat on those three, as there are plenty of other passengers. I just find them the most disappointing, as they are supposed to be the future of the team, whereas players like Staal, Parise, Suter, and Zuccarello have nowhere to go but down.

Another nondescript generation of prospects like the Coyle/Nino/Granlund/Zucker bunch?

Yes and no to answer the last question. The first bunch was undoubtedly hyped more and rightfully had higher expectations.

 

[57special]

well said, but we had the right to be excited about drafting two WJC captains from excellent teams and a beast like Greenway. Kunin is a hard worker but seems to lack any high end talent, Greenway is inconsistent, if not downright lazy, and JEE ...well, the replay showing him trying to shoot with an upside down stick says it all.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

The Wild are as soft as a goose down pillow. Stalock gets run over twice, nothing. Fiala taps their goalie and all hell breaks loose. That’s the Wild in a nutshell
