Bear55 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Forget the Hawks, that appears to be a pipe dream, we are likely getting the Blue's at home. Should be a very interesting series and I am sure Yoe will do everything he can to take us down. One thing I will say about Yoe is I liked his coaching in the playoffs, aside from that Dallas series we did very well under him. The first year we hit the playoffs we were just outclassed in every way by the Hawks, no chance on that one and we were just happy to be there. Last year we didn't even deserve to be in the playoffs but the Avs gifted us a spot. In between we played very well and really exceeded most peoples expectations taking out the division leader both times. The team we have now is far superior to those, lets hope they start acting like it. Seems like right now we just can't score, these guys need to get our offensive mojo back in a big way or we go home early. hoppe56307, bbfenatic and Bobby Bass 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knoppers Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 its just keeps getting worse. I think this team has given up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear55 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I don't even know any more, need something to happen in these next 9 games to spark this team. No clue what that is and if there is even a remote chance of it happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbfenatic Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Pom 1 in his last 19 Suter 1 in last 27 Parise 2 in last 11 Brodin 0 in last 30 Hanzal 1 in last 12 Zucker 1 in last 13 Nino 1 in last 19 Haula 1 in last 17 Koivu 2 in last 23 Combine that with a weak defense and iffy goaltending.....yikes.

bbfenatic Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 On a good note Prosser finally came out of his Zero for Can'tCountBackThatFar goal slump....maybe he'll catch fire and carry the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear55 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) On a brighter note somehow we are still 2nd in the west and Staal is scoring in bunches again, just need the rest of the team to catch up, save for Grandlund, he's just been good all year and even when he is bad he is probably our best player.

Makes no difference what place we are in or that Stall has scored 2 goals in the last 5 games (you call that bunches?).....who would not want to play the Wild in the first round at this point? This is absolutley shocking to me....they appear to me like a ship without a Captain....7 games left to figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear55 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 But 9 goals in his last 13, I call that scoring in bunches. No one else has been even close to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartmanMN Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Time to put Zucker back up with Granny and Koivu. Sometimes when he gets pushed down in the lineup he stops working as hard. Put him back on #1 line and he will pick it up. Then Parise, Staal and Pommer. Put Coyle, Nino and Haula together. Was fun shifting the lines every game early on, but time to settle in. bbfenatic and hoppe56307 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too much tinkering went on...some of that brought on by Fletch...Hansal, White/Schroeder, Stewart for a 4th line would be just fine too...they have to dial in these remaining games to have the consistency needed for the playoffs.

Bobby Bass Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Am I the only one who wants to see Stalock at least get one start so he can show he is a better backup then Kuemper? hoppe56307 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bottomdweller Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I loved BBs post game the other nite after the canucks game, he nailed it. Guys got to step it up and play, outside of granny and staal, the rest look like they just started playing. Lack luster for sure. Im still hoping they come out and play like I know they are capable of but not looking good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for the fact they did have some chemistry the last couple games, and earlier in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbfenatic Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Erickson-Ek on his way back from Sweden...the Wild/Circus just added a new act IMO. Sounds like Chuck's AZ deal to get Hansal/White is just another flop? hoppe56307 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear55 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 We desperate, Ek looked good early in the year and he can clearly make one of the 3rd or 4th line even better. Not sure how but we are going to beat the Caps tonight and get over this slump! Has to happen at some point right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like all the other teams do. He gets the same shot over and over against every team. Not sure how you let a guy with 18 power play goals float like that. Doesn't hurt Bakstrom is setting it all up. You leave him and just cover Ovi and he will light you up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
