Gameday: Minnesota Wild vs San Jose Sharks, 10/10/09

For the record i thought that Harding didn't get any help last week, according to Russo he was nervous in times like that the team steps up and helps him calm down by giving him a chance to make some saves

Tonight with Backs on the 2nd goal when Marlou took a shot and got his rebound, Shultz needed to make sure he didn't get that chance, at the same time Backs needs to be better on rebounds to his credit he was falling as he made the save still its a combo play on both of them.

4th goal again you cannot let a guy get by you that easy, it was a break away, can't really rag Backs on that one.

Didn't see goals 1 or 3 by the sharks can't comment on that one.

Also if you are given a 5-3 for 2 minutes, i know they got a penalty later ended up a 4-3, but the thing is you score on 5-3s not get penalties.

Wild have the potential to play well, they are looking better and better every night, i think they can make the playoffs once they start playing better.

Tonight Pouls played well he made some nice fore checks and also had a bomb defensive play he worked hard and was on the 2nd pp unit, maybe even in top 6 for Wednesday.

Quick question...how do you feel about Bouchard's potential?

At this point, nothing more than the 2005-2008 Bouchard.

For some reason I thought you were one of the few remaining who still thought he had any promise. Never mind......moving on.

Butch has promise he has the skill just not the drive, but waiting on him is like going to a lesbo club hoping to get laid if you're a dude, for the record my money is on the lesbo club.

If that's true...which it is....then he has no promise.

For the record, I believe I'm one of the very first that thinks Sheppard will be nothing more than a 3rd/4th-line defensive center. So we'll how that plays out.

The lone fact that we're still relying on Shep and Butch is another reason why we'll be feeling the Riser-effect for a long damn time.

Shepp has been playing well this year, granted we still screwed the pooch on his development but he is showing potential.

what i mean to say he has the skill so there is always promise but just not going to happen

You can have all the skill in the world, but if you don't know how to use it, it's worthless. Therefore no promise.

Fuck me with a three foot pole i mean Sykora is a big loss but Clutterbuck was just plain fun to watch

well, hopefully now they try out kalus during a regular season game. it would be interesting even if he cant do the defensive system style of hockey, he did somehow score a nhl goal for boston

Yeah Kalus sounds like he's going to be a pest and a hitter which we need given Clutterbuck is out.
