Happy Monday, Gents….(I'll give this video a proper listen after work)
*It's crazy…..Kirill is proving his value to this team more out of the lineup than in. He's the catalyst. Everything thing goes thru him. Players turn into GHOSTS without him…….
*Yeah, Hartman is in a pretty big slump but he's also primarily been a 3rd liner this year. Nobody should be expecting anything from MoJo and if they are they haven't been paying attention.
*I'd call up Oghren. Enough of this Gaunce Jones and Shore NONSENSE.
*Is Middleton done for the year?!?!!
*It sounds like Jiricek is looking pretty rough in Iowa…
Безобразная расстановка – тренер явно осознал – Зуки с 12 и 23 это черепаха с мустангами……….12 .14.90 Рабочая тройка!!! 13 лучше справиться на пяточке соперника чем 22……а Марат лучше в организации .создания и завершения момента! тройки из " пассажиров " срабатывают раз за 10-12 игр……сколько можно это проверять? плейофф скоро….
Boldy's play doesn't warrant a trade, BUT it warrants some consequences. A little tough love and a game in the press box…yep. NOJO deserves the trade or waive. He drags down every line he plays on.
Definitely a lot of forwards are passengers lately. Scoring is coming from the defense. It's nice the D is scoring, but COME ONNNN!
They play.
Lazy hockey
Boldy has been inconsistent. Again. He needs to shoot more and get in front of the net.
Jojo as a second liner is atrocious.
I get it, Ohgren is not showing something to the coaches, but bring him up. We need size and passion to play.
To be fair, when the season was starting was this not more or less the play we expected from them? Nobody had them chasing playoff contention let alone being the number 1 team in the league for two weeks. There are a few that we definitely need to get rid of, boldly would not be one of them yet. He’s young, sit him a game or two, then stick him on the 2/3 line for a game or two atleast and show him either he gets it together or you can play without him. Mojo needs to go, Zucc I love him but he’s 36 years old, he’s not getting any better I guarantee that, Trade him while he has SOME value. Hartman is a strong 3rd line guy but he’s getting stuck with guys that shouldn’t be 3rd line guys, he flourishes when he gets to play with someone with some skill.. maybe ohgren would be a nice fit with him on 3rd line..
Well they played 4 1/2 minutes….abandoned the first touch and out and lost by being completely uninspired!
I hope the Faber avoiding front of the goal on that powerplay goal is not going to be an ongoing fear thing! He was 6 – 8 feet from a normal box/ diamond and left his guy standing alone.
This was mild from a no SOG! They went almostv16 minutes in the 2nd period against Dallas! Over half of this roster are passengers and it is farther than annoying…P!SSED OFF is more like it! And Haynes just WL NOT CALL THIS TEAM OUT PUBLICLY!!! AND THEY SHOULD BE EXCORIATED PUBLICLY!!!
I read ye tweet last night and i lol'd. I was actually glad i chose to watch sunday night football instead. And i understood exactly what had taken place once again
вечная грусть:" что то нападающие мало забивают ….тяжело команде бедной…." Ответ то Прост : " так они шайбу .мяч спиной к воротам принимают….." исправьте хотя бы это и грусть уйдёт.
а второе: 38 с трёх попыток не может перебросить шайбу через щиток вратаря…….Покормите 38 – совсем ослаб …" шайба супер тяжёлая"….. 90 получает вторую звезду матча за 8 бросков в живот вратарю…..которому дали Первую звезду матча за хорошую "статистику"…..а можно в начале игры 38 и 90 одеть в майки соперников – у 32 статистика будет Космической…..😛
The cardio brothers I love it!
Love ya fellas!! Good show, let’s do it again in February eh?!
The double-double…Pointless streak…the streak is pointless to his team too perhaps? Does anybody on the bench or otherwise have the first clue??? So shooting pucks into the chest emblem is considered a shot??? WHY? A POINTLESS POINT…
The skating and speed on this team is BY FAR the worst of any teams in a playoff spot.
If Andy Ness is such a skating guru, then Why is that?? I mean besides Billy G being obsessed with big slow grit guys.
It’s pathetic. I get sick watching this team spin their wheels to get out of the zone while every 4th line plug on every other team easily chases them down without even trying
You think a pro hockey team would focus on speed in todays game
If Bill trades for Brock Nelson just trade Kaprizov now. It’s over. That’s a move of a bad, desperate GM
Look at Brock Nelson’s age and his last 2 month stats. Denny gets way too much airtime if he’s been plugging this awful move.
I need Kaprizov to stay over any success at this season and Brock GD Nelson is gonna shove him out the door.
Boldy not living up to his contract.
Porco dio! Th iron (5!) and the officers won it for the Senators! That said, here is the thing: the Wild ares OK on goalies and defense, as for the F they have 2 only (Kaprizov and Eck). Trade 5 or 6 of them next season, and get a bunch of good ones.
BTW, Boldy is just a liability (not because of the last game, his best over a long stretch))
LIVE SHOW ON HOLD, DENNY'S INTERNET STILL DOWN ALL!
My thoughts on today's show,
After watching the Wild for the last ten games, Hynes is losing the team
They are no longer playing for each other, Passengers is straight to the point, if Billy doesn't do a trade soon
And Bring up the kid, this season is over, at this point we can sell the Cup
In ten games the WILD won't be selling anything but Hope for next year, BILLY IT'S TIME
BROCK NELSON AND KYLE PALMIERI
TWO SECONDS. TWO THIRDS
AND TWO PLAYER'S
the PLAYER'S being Mojo Merrill
as I've talked about before
Make the deal and show the team you care, Denny
My Internet provider didn't show up
Unfortunately no show tonight
And yes my new Studio is ready,
I hope you like it,
On a different note would you like
My top ten power rankings, as I've brought up before?
