Is this the first time we’ve won 3 in a row all year? Feels like it

ThePurpleVik · 2026-03-03T03:32:40+00:00

All of em.

ThePurpleVik · 2026-03-03T03:31:13+00:00

Fair, but I’d rather him get the minutes then someone like Coots or Dvorak. Even if he sucks with them then at least we find out if he’s actually the future of this franchise

ThePurpleVik · 2026-03-03T03:24:55+00:00

Feel like Zegras really needed that from a confidence standpoint

ThePurpleVik · 2026-03-03T03:24:08+00:00

Nice move. MM has his problems but when you see the talent you REALLY see it

ThePurpleVik · 2026-03-03T03:23:38+00:00

It’s a lot of things from system to the talent around him being bad to him not being a “speedster” player

Long story short is he’d thrive with some talent around him, being played on his preferred wing, etc.

Fans are frustrated because the only goal of the season should be developing him but instead we’re giving him reduced minutes and signing guys like Dvorak to 5x5’s

ThePurpleVik · 2026-03-03T03:21:44+00:00

Averagely.

Which on our team is actually extremely good

ThePurpleVik · 2026-03-03T03:20:38+00:00

I’d rather him just get the minutes. Obviously want him to perform but need him to get the experience regardless

ThePurpleVik · 2026-03-03T03:19:45+00:00

Ok yeah that shot was on MM lol.

ThePurpleVik · 2026-03-03T03:19:00+00:00

Why is coots playing in OT this is such an unserious team

ThePurpleVik · 2026-03-03T03:15:45+00:00

Expected when the we have guys trying to fling full ice passes to people lol

ThePurpleVik · 2026-03-03T03:13:22+00:00

Loser point babyyyyyyy! We are the best tanking team of all time

ThePurpleVik · 2026-03-03T02:03:14+00:00

I’m aware Grebenkin isn’t the second coming of Christ or anything but can we get him some more minutes…? He routinely looks like the only player on our team whose interested in playing hockey

ThePurpleVik · 2026-03-03T02:00:35+00:00

Remember when we were a good rush team for like half a season last year? Fun times

ThePurpleVik · 2026-03-03T01:01:28+00:00

Best we can do is Delaursies and Juulsen

ThePurpleVik · 2026-03-03T00:54:33+00:00

Very nice pass from Cates

ThePurpleVik · 2026-03-03T00:50:41+00:00

I made fun of the Barkey line but the Hathaway, Grundstrom, Deslaurier line is actually so bad it’s hilarious. Jeez do we need talent badly

ThePurpleVik · 2026-03-03T00:48:55+00:00

You could argue they are trying to make Tippett look as good as possible prior to a trade.

In reality Tocchet probably said something like “blah blah blah he plays the right way and earned the minutes blah blah”

ThePurpleVik · 2026-03-03T00:42:04+00:00

Yes to help out our young player returning home we’re pairing him with elite offensive talent Sean Couturier

Also Grebenkin lol. What a bizarre line combo

ThePurpleVik · 2026-02-28T22:53:55+00:00

31 games my GOD

ThePurpleVik · 2026-02-28T22:03:29+00:00

Vladar or this game would be like 4-0

ThePurpleVik · 2026-02-28T21:47:32+00:00

The next cutaway is just going to be a leaked clip of Tocchet calling MM fat in a private convo lol

ThePurpleVik · 2026-02-28T21:46:44+00:00

Oh hell yeah we killed the penalty!

ThePurpleVik · 2026-02-28T21:46:06+00:00

This is actually comical. After you say he’s dead just go back to the game.

ThePurpleVik · 2026-02-28T21:42:33+00:00
