    I like that Foligno seems to be looking in the mirror and I’m betting he’s challenged all his teammates to do the same. That’s good leadership, if that’s the case, which I bet it is.

    4 in a row. Boldy with a pair. E-EK, Foligno and Kaprizov with one each. Finally getting some help scoring for previous lone wolf E-EK. Even Johansson snaps 10 game scoreless streak. Gus played well- didn’t have to work too hard. Zucc extends scoring streak and is on pace for 90+ points, which...

    NFL has really bad officiating

    They have to protect the QBs. They play the most exciting position in all of sports and the superstars are must-see and every team’s starter is capable of electric play or colossal mistakes. The single best rule change in the last 25 years was adding the two point conversion. It preserves the...

    Strib Chip Scoggins: Minnesota QB search twice as tricky, given coach P.J. Fleck’s philosophy

    Ok, now we need a stud transfer receiver. I think the odds just improved.

    Boldy and Kaprizov have come to life again. That’s helpful.

    The minutes were spread more evenly, with the 4th line deservedly given significantly more run.

    Calling Bobby Jackson

    I think they should take a look at a guy who is around the program, has his degree, was a terrific player with a clean record: Quince Lewis

    Cyber Truck

    Interesting. Is it electric? And is there a practical reason behind its profile (physical design)?

    They definitely played with some jump. But they also played with some puck luck. Two posts and a crossbar. Still couldn’t score, even with intense pressure and doubling up shots. Another early penalty - at 0:22 of the first. Another careless double minor high stick - Boldy. That said, 4-4 on...

    You are on a roll! Turkey of the Year, now this?! Hats off to thee, @Ope3. Now, who will Guerin trade - you know he ain’t done….Hartman?

    Can't say I'm surprised. I like Evason. He has a toughness I like. But their special teams play has been subpar since he started and abysmal this season. The power play relies WAY TOO MUCH on blasting shots from the outside and is quite predictable. Watching the NJ Devils school us on their...

    Yeah, he's had 10 subpar games. That never happens to athletes. Cut him. :rolleyes:

    Quick question

    What I want to know is why they call it “the paint.”

    4 possessions.

    He uses the D end of the floor to justify the decision. But that does nothing to explain why, with 9 seconds remaining and we have possession, down 2, he isn't in the game. Defense isn't the concern at that point. Pretty difficult for me to understand that decision. Those final two offensive...

    Quick question

    I think it has to do with deep penetration in the paint?

    Not the same as others, though. Dozens of Grade A scoring chances. Just couldn’t get it over the red line. Lots to like about the game. Kaprizov with a goal and assist, and lots of star quality play. Also one horrible play that gave away a breakaway and a back-breaking goal. He needs to stop...

    I wouldn’t give up just yet on this team. (Not saying you are.) Boldy has looked great in his two games back. Kaprizov will produce- I like the new look of him with Rossi (who, I agree, is buzzing out there) and Boldy. Foligno needs to play better. Right now, he’s good for a strong hit, but not...

    Their PK is really bad. That said, we need to copy New Jersey’s power play approach. It’s all about redirects.
