Lets put those bozos behind the bench and see what happens. Willie is coaching his ass off to keep this group that was UNIVERSALLY picked to finish dead last in the league standings competitive. Hats off to Willie D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh I still don't understand why there are still people trying to defend WD's decision on players deployment. Apparently the Sedins are totally capable of playing 2 minutes out of the last 5 but Bo is inferior conditioning wise he can only play 1 minute+. What a pathetic argument for not having BO on the ice after a time out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Googlie Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 11 minutes ago, RWMc1 said: I think the overall game plan is solid, they just need to execute better. Sit back and defend the 0-0 tie. If we get the first goal, then sit back and defend the lead. If the opponent ties, then defend the tie. If the opponent goes ahead, then sit back and defend the one goal deficit. Wait for a lucky power-play chance and tie it late. Defend tie and attack late for the tie. Win in OT or shootout. The perfect plan! Why are we not winning more? Willie needs a bow tie, to buck the trend. (Remember Robbie Ftorek and his sweaters? Dare to be different) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the harry Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Please stop that playoff talk, I can't hear it anymore. Think about the future and say thanks and bye to those who won't be part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimito Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 tough break to not get a point at least. That 4th goal is stoppable, but Edler got beat and gave up the shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give the credit for the performance to unexpected performances by a number of players including Tryamkin, Bo, Granlund, Stecher. NO one foresaw these guys being as good as they have been. I'm of the opinion that a better tactician/strategist, could have achieved better results than WD who has been reluctant to make changes (PP is the poster child for that) and has overly relied on vets who are not producing. He has also over-played Miller who is far better when fresh and at the cost of not playing Markstrom enough who has also been very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other teams' coaches still play their top d pair against the Twins. I didn't like that the Twins turned over the puck in the ozone on Pasternak's winner though. Plus, there was no back pressure on the puck carrier too. Maybe other teams play their top lines against the Twins because of there being better chances to score on them now?

Teams have been putting their #1 defensive lines out against Bo's line and they are still producing. THe Twins do not appear to be benefitting from the fact so yes, I think BO's line is out-playing the Sedins. ALso, the twins get all that great PP time and have done very little with it for 3+ years.

You want to know where I think this group would be without the coaching of Willie D? Take a look at Colorado....and then subtract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNeil Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 This really puts the playoff hopes, to get 90 points for the last wildcard.....we would need to play the equivalent of a 109 point team from here on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neko Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 28 minutes ago, oldnews said: Btw - Jeff Patterson is an idiot that doesn't know how to read a shift chart. http://www.nhl.com/stats/shiftcharts?id=2016020815 Bo Horvat's last shift ended at 58:47 - in other words - he took the shift after the Boston goal and left the ice with 1:13 left. Whatever floats the irrational blame game - whine on CDC. If you're going to bring that up, might as well mention how the Sedins were out on the ice for a good 2 minutes. But Bo is a lot younger.
