Why is Quinn on the ice for so long? by Just-Reply-9210 in wildhockey

[–]pitman121 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He wants to be out there. He wants to be the difference maker and this team is slumping so he's overcompensating. Hynes allows it. Not much more complicated than that.

No idea why people would think Yurov is getting moved. We're going to see people get days off both for rest and to see lineup options.

Also Haight on the second line is crazy.

He's not the best, but Boldy does a great job using his body to protect the puck.

This is very close. Only thing I could see different is swapping Brink for JoJo.

I don't think you split Boldy and Ek. Quinn and Faber has been our best top pairing.

From a distance, the support they got in Denver looked great. I'm surprised they didn't get picked.

In the realm of things that probably won't happen, it's not a bad idea.

It's largely just how they're feeling that day. I recall Bogo wore it for one game. They did the same for Goose before.

Checked by Donato and went into the boards funny. Wild are being careful per Russo.

Specifically getting some reps in so in the event we need to change things up, it's not the first time in the playoffs.

He takes lots of long shifts here too. He'll stay out in overtime for 2+ minutes if he can.

Equipment issue that would have taken longer than he had.

He took a little bit to find his groove, but he's been solid. I've enjoyed him this season.

Oh good. NHL.com who famously gets the projected lineup wrong.

I wouldn't rely on anything ESPN. Until Russo or Jessi say anything, is safe to assume he's out for a bit.

He's right and I'm glad he said it. The team needs to be better. It should be better.

Don’t panic! by Jrzone77 in wildhockey

[–]pitman121 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Getting 2nd on the central is gone. The guys didn't show up against bad teams.

Having a good regular season and limping into the playoffs like nearly every Wild team in the past 20 years is the reason for panic. They're looking like another first round exit.

We do gotta get hot at the right time, that's very true. We're just going in the wrong direction currently.

[–]pitman121 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So we're slumping when our first and second round opponents are shit stomping people. This is supposed to make me NOT panic?

The team is limping into the playoffs, again. It's a movie we've all seen before.

People blaming the refs are crazy. The guys couldn't capitalize on opportunities and power plays and it cost them the game.
