Scoring is fine.
“Tune in for expert analysis on the Wild's early-season performance”? I don’t know, 2 1/2 games in? Looks like the scoring is fine. I guess you just needed content. Let them play for at least 10 games before judging the lines.
This team reminds me alot of the Edmonton team 2years ago. Deadly PP and Two absolute stars, the rest of the team is a work in progress. But we have better Goaltending and D. That team got better and better as the season went on.
There's places for 4 better Players = Before a favorable Cup Run
Foligno 2nd line? Promoting CARCUS Johansson, who is the "SUPPOSED 11TH FORWARD" back to top 6??? SCREAMS FOR CRITICISM!!! Zone entry becomes the dog that caught the car!!! What to do next? CARDIO AIN'T THE ANSWER!
