WCQF: Wild vs. Stars Series Discussion

[eternalfaith]

It didn't take long for Torch to start grasping at straws and playing line boggle. David Jones on the top line?

The 2nd and 3rd lines should be better. Wish stoll would come out and Carter would center Porter and shredder

Well we're a team without any top-6 RWers right now.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I actually don't mind it.

Why not Coyle and throw someone like Carter as fourth line center.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Haul a famer honestly about the only former golden gopher I like. So cocky, this team really needs that attitude.

I haven't seen a lineup that jumbled and gutted by injuries since the days of First Line Center Warren Peters.

#mnwild lines: Granlund-Koivu-Jones; Zucker-Coyle-Fontaine; Niederreiter-Haula-Pominville; Carter-Stoll-Porter


I actually like those lines. Although Stoll should sit after last night.

..shudder..

like when we were mulling over running Boogie, Fedoruk, and Simon on a line. It happened in a few practices..............thankfully JL was only having fun.......

It's sad, since I love the team, but I just find it very hard to even care about lines...what does it even matter where players are if they're either not going to bring it or their best just isn't good enough...

Have to agree. Line combos don't mean anything if the guys aren't trying.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Maybe it looks like they aren't trying because there is zero chemistry? I thought it was pretty obvious in the 1st period the forwards didn't know how to work together and later in the game it was still evident with the one and done offensive zone entries/shots.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Still with the "not trying" ********?

I really don't know how someone can say that with a straight face.

Seriously. These are professional athletes in the playoffs. They're obviously trying. Just failing.

Wonder what doob's maintenance day is about....

 

[Generic User]

Because he plays a lot is my guess.

Stoll was pretty bad....but what other options are there? Dalpe? Anyone in the AHL?

Schroeder would be a better option he can actually keep up with Dallas.

 

[BigT2002]

Need speed for this team. Playing defense doesn't help matters any.

Yeah, coming into the series I even thought Haula might be a bigger loss than Parise.

 

[123TripleDoge]

hopefully, i was of course worried it was the puck to the helmet. Pretty sure that concussed Darcy before right?

I just have no confidence in this team when it comes to injuries

Well there is that giant Vets vs Kids divide in the locker room that's probably poisoned everything including chemistry.

what the **** happened this spring, remember watching canucks game at the december and wild teamplay was so good and worked like a charm

Wild fell off a cliff and lost like 13 straight, Yeo got fired, Torch took over, team has alternated winning and losing streaks since then, but seems to have fallen off a cliff again just in time for the playoffs.

 

[BigT2002]

Not going to lie. I wanna see some of the small guys go. Bye Granlund. Bye Spurgeon. Bye Zucker.

I'm so tired of this same old story every single damn year when the post season comes about.

 

[Stickpucker]

At least we scored a goal?
