GDT 10/17/09 Wild Vs Nucks

Zidlicky proves useless in his own zone, and Backstroms limited lateral movement lets him down.

Backs overcommitted down low.

Get rid of Boogaard now!! I can't believe Richards gives him minutes. He's the reason for the Vancouver goal.

He actually does that quite often. He goes down so damn early all the time.

I'd say James Sheppard's penalty had more to do with that than Boogaard did. 3 of the 4 Wild penalty killers were below the circle, and neither D-man could stop the cross crease pass.

Boogaard was on the bench.

May you have mistaken Hnidy's 34 for Boogieman's 24 on that play?

No Boogaard was on the ice for the Kessler goal. 1st goal I was talking about.

Sorry, thought we were discussing the one that just happened.

DO SOMETHING OR ELSE NORDY GETS IT!!!

My God, it's like watching a bunch of Bouchards. Pass....pass.....pass......pass......lose it.

Post deleted due to cooling off period....

No, it's just becoming a broken record watching this team make the same mistakes game in and game out, thus you are getting more upset as it goes. Maybe it's time to let go and just watch for the sake of watching instead of analyizing? I am finding myself caring less about the outcome of the game, but being entertained none-the-less, as hockey is still fun to watch.

Boogaard, 2 games, -2, 0 fights, 1 stupid penalty. Scott, 5 games, even, no minor penalties, 1 won fight. These are 2 players in the exact same role on the exact same team, and one has clearly been more reliable to this point.
Get rid of that clown on skates.

True, hockey can be fun to watch. And we already know this season is done. But the effort from these guys is embarrassing. We saw better from the 2000-2001 team.

I really thought we had a chance to win this game. The Canucks have struggled mightily and so has Luongo.

I was really hoping this game and last night's game would get the team turn around and on the right path.

HUGE SIGH

I hope Toronto starts winning some games.

Still a lottery.... But boy could we use Taylor Hall.... Then again, one guy isn't going to turn this team around, especially an 18 year old....

Yeah I was thinking about 3 years of sucking. Worked great for Pittsburgh, Washington and Chicago. Come to think of it Phoenix is looking good too now.

No Toronto shouldn't win any games. I mean I don't want the Wild to come in last place in the whole league.

Well, do you think the fan support would stay for 3 years of complete uselessness?

Probably not...but could you imagine if Minnesota (a true hockey base) had the Penguins or Capitals roster?

A team that wins gets good fan support pretty much anywhere.... The question is outside of Toronto, is there a market that can sell-out while being continuously a bottom-feeder?

Montreal

Hmmmm.... the WMB is having technical difficulties. Indicative of how the team is playing.

Okay, so I deleted the initial post after cooling off. It was too harsh. That said, it's kind of sad when it's almost a small relief to be missing the game on Wednesday night. Normally the game teaser shows highlights from the roadtrip. Hmmmm......the only highlights would be their bonding trip to the football game. Chances are they'll show highlights from the home opener.

The coach and GM can't get through to the guys. They won't let me into the lockerroom due to the restraining order. So it's time to bring in Matt Foley.
