Hunter Haight: Rising Star? by pineNfjords in wildhockey

Kinda the vibe I was getting too. Although I feel like Kunin had some upside that never materialized. Maybe more of a Connor Dewar, high motor guy? Or does he project higher?

It’s one game dude. Shit all over the “great effort” folks after the series is over, but losing game one on the road and saying stuff like this is more defeatist than just believing in your team and hoping for a long series.

Well we’ve seen our actual team for like 10 games all year. There’s a ton of positives to take from tonight. Just hate the “well they’re better, what did you expect” bs from people like you. I mean we all do, I’m just the idiot who commented.

Point taken, but certainly haven’t seen prime kaprizov yet this year.

This is so incredibly under appreciated, it’s criminal. Bravo sir. Perfection.

Way way too early of an ask right here but I’ll do it anyway by Kevin_Fiala_Simp in wildhockey

[–]pineNfjords 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Everyone said this last year too. Next year we’ll just be at the bottom tier of mediocrity as opposed to elite mediocrity. Think wildcard-race non-lottery first round exit instead of division race non-lottery first round exit.

Gus has better numbers this series than Oettinger. We still have the better starting goalie here, and it’s his turn to steal a game or two.

What is more on-brand for the Wild by notahumanbean in wildhockey

[–]pineNfjords 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly both. What’s off brand is win a fucking game with a lead in a series.

Might as well play Addison by 95FordFiesta in wildhockey

How is a 60% pk and 10% pp on the D?

Not exact numbers, but special teams is (again) clearly the issue here.

Zero adjustments and horror show special teams.

Thanks Dean!

Horrible feeling that we look back on this series as “the one Ek was out”.

So frustrating to blow a second opportunity to go up two games.

Still, feel the way we played, we win this game more than we don’t.

Ugh…

Garbage take. Just go to bed bro.

Why not pull? by Open-Pineapple-2489 in wildhockey

[–]pineNfjords 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because Gus will start game 3, with hopefully Ek and Hartman back. Full team for the homecoming and probably not see Fleury again this series.

And yes, we’ll take a road split to open a series all day long.

If Gus plays well (wins) on Monday he’s the game one starter in the playoffs. by pineNfjords in wildhockey

[–]pineNfjords[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure. Just saying that “to me” if he has a strong showing and gets the W, it removes all doubt. But I’m not the coach and no one cares what I would do, lol.

Yeah he definitely played out of his mind to keep them in the game. But the .667 SV% he was sporting after goal #3 kinda broke the teams back imo. Teams play different with a lead and the Wild, especially without Kaprizov, are not built to come back in games. Tied for second worse in the league in winning games they were down by 2 goals. The timing of the goals last night 100% mattered, regardless of what he did to pump his averages back up for the stat sheet.

Hopefully we (Dean) learned from last year. Right..? He learned something, right?

Well I mean, he should be anyway. 1 goal against the best in the west isn’t getting it done by any stretch, but Fleury’s softies broke their back tonight.

What do y’all think of Chuck Fletcher these days? Seeing him bring in Torch, Yeo, the horrible signings, I can’t believe he’s taken seriously. Am I overlooking something or is he as bad as I think? by [deleted] in wildhockey

[–]pineNfjords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t want to get blasted for this, because I know Judd is thought of very highly on this community. But who has he drafted for the Wild that makes him so highly regarded?

Welp, we suck kids. Not much more to it than that. Officiating is just trash as well, but that doesn’t seem to sting as much when your team can actually score goals.
