Nashville they have to 100% of the time get the puck below the goal line and go to work. Don't turn things over at either blue line or the neutral zone and especially not in the offensive zone.

It's really not that surprising. They have ZERO players on the roster that can take over a game by themselves. They don't even have a pair like that. They need 5 guys on the ice all pushing the truck up the hill or they get run over. I was talking about what seemed like a total lack of effort - not...

By the way, Slap Shot, on that whole "Patriots" thing.

Huh. They shut down McDavid and played a team game. All elements of my 5 point plan that could get them deep into the playoffs this season. Unfortunately for them part of that plan is to stay healthy. So, now that they've finally started playing the game they need to play the health domino's are fa...

Yeah. Now they're getting way too banged up. Infirmary mode is starting.

This is the way they can play. How sustainable is it? I hope very.

As I was saying.

I disagree. The "Zucker Drama" may be the catalyst that gets them going.

I didn't make the connection on Sunday but apparently there was some team rallying going on in that win against Montreal around Zucker's mistaken comments to the media. Apparently, Stalock deadpanned that Boudreau was "better" and the entire lockerroom including Bruce busted out laughing. They showe...

I looked those stats up yesterday. Patriots number one in everything.
Thanks, Bonin.

I try to help where I can.

Or you could just watch the games and try and enjoy yourself. God this town sucks...

You can do both. I am living proof of that.

It's the ultimate trap for a Vikings fan right now. After the last 3 weeks (although I tried hard, especially this week) you're looking for the flaws. You're trying to figure out ahead of time how the team is ultimately going to rip your heart out and stomp on it in the end. The last time it went fr...

It all reaffirms the fact that Cousins always could make all the throws. The question, and the only question left is can he win the big games? We'll find out.

No one would have ever guessed that would happen. Wow.
It's a good feat, but Mahomes did it Weeks 1-3 this year.

Yeah, but no one is surprised by anything Mahomes does.

On the road? UMD? I don't see a single point this weekend. The Gophers have this unique habit now of turning any game against an in-state rival into their own house of horrors. For being such a die-hard fan, figured you'd know it's a home-and-home. Gophers also tied and beat them in two games last ...

Can they close?

Russo says that's their first goal off the rush. Wow.

Best goal of the year. They may pull this out.

Dumba now -11

Wow.

You said home cooking. No one else did.

Man this team loves to turn the puck over.

Nice shift by the Staal line. Hopefully #12 waking up.

They have flashes. Nothing sustainable.

Different day, same game.

Big win. Last shot at a divisional road win.

Cook. Wow.

Offense won this game. Great day.

Beautiful.

Rhodes couldn't do any better.
Well he could stop whining like a child

He's frustrated.

Rhodes couldn't do any better.

I'll give Zim some credit. He adjusted something.

Tight Ends getting some good looks today.

Nice.

Cook is pretty good.

And there's the f*** kicking game again.

Diggs needs to catch that.

Again I am not saying the D is playing lights out...I am saying they arent as bad as you seem to think they are. The league is set up for offense not defense. I mean the best defensive team (Chicago) is 3-2.

I'm with ya. You're right.

If people think they are good for them.

No. I just don't think there as good as they used to be. Eye test for me.

Nice D on that drive.

Maybe it's me but this defense used to exert it's will over teams. Haven't seen them dominate a game against a tough opponent for a while. The D has had a few games where they did (especially after halftime) including last week IIRC. We thrive on pressure from the line where it seems we have issues...

12, 21, 14, 16, 10, 20. Points against.

That’s a recipe for winning a sh*t ton of football games.

Yet never the game that matters.

Zims D used to never give up this many points in a half. The league has figured it out.

This defense can't get out of its own way.

Nice drive.

Whew going to be rough all day today. D needs to step up.

Slavin just as much PI as Rhodes there.

Of course.

How does that get called as a holding? My goodness.

Detroit got screwed last week. That's how.

Turnover machine back for an encore.

The door is open. Smash it down Gophers

LOL. Sconnie loses. Great moment.

A miracle may happen in Illinois.

I've got Gophers on BTN.

Now they're getting an F in staying healthy as well.

No centers and no snipers. No wonder they suck.

That kid is so freaking good.

Lotta turnovers.

Can't hold a lead apparently.

There is the offense.

Where's the offense? Half this team turns over the puck like Fiala.

Nice to see the refs hate Detroit as much as everyone else. They got hosed.

It's just home cooking. Just like Rube said. That's why Philly got hosed at US Bank.

I don't like hearing that from Zucker. You don't like that it had to be said, that it was him saying it, or that it was said at all? Let's face this team needed a swift kick in the ass. No reason to say that in public on the record. None. I couldn't disagree more. He didn't throw anyone under the b...

The goalie for the Wild is the easiest job in the NHL.

Not anymore. When the Wild were good defensively this was true. This year they are awful.

Meanwhile.

Haven't heard much talk of Dumba scoring 30 goals lately. One goal. One assist and -9 (2nd to Staal's -10). Caught down low twice on PP last night for 2 on 1's against. Yes the guy has a great shot. Defensively a train wreck, running around way to much. This is the biggest problem. Not only are the...

Boudreau ready to pop a bolt.

Justified. This team plays like it doesn't care.

The latest Russo/Souhan podcast was interesting. Basically confirmed my list of what needed to happen and my current report card levels.
