Those were some f’d up bounces/breaks the Sabres got, but the Wild’s D has been so leaky lately, perhaps they deserve them…
We have the capspace to make a move now vs wait until the deadline (I think shoring up the D is more important than the pipe dream that a Giroux or Pavelski would want to come here) unless GMBG truly believes Dumba coming back on Sunday is a difference maker for this recent skid? (not likely) it will at least take away minutes from Merrill being on the ice…
Goligoski appears to just be milking the final 30+ games until he can retire…only putting out the bare minimal effort…at least Fiala and Kaprizov are heating up at the right time as it seems we’ll need 4-5 goals a night to have a chance to win…
ok, enough $hitting on the Wild by me tonight, I think we play like 20 of the last 30 games at home to hopefully right the ship before the playoffs…..
Funny how we keep chasing problems in the line up when we talk about what the Wild need to do by the dead line. First it was a desperate need for a #1 or #2 center. Then there was chatter about goaltending and now it’s the D corp that needs help. The Wild have multiple problems is what we’re really saying and they are not going to all get fixed with one or two moves at the dead line.
I’m guessing getting Dumba and Greenway back is going to help matters and I do think BG feels Dumba is going to right the ship. It’s probably just me but it seems the Wild value him more for his off ice stuff and over value his on ice play because of it. And now it would seem Dumba is entering the stage of his career where he has become injury prone so he has plenty time for that off ice stuff. Zuccarello may have a nagging injury the rest of the season. Fiala fell on the sword last night but I don’t think he should be too hard on himself. I think Evason has hounded him so long about his turnovers he now has a complex about it when he is not alone in that department by any means. He’s a much bigger contributor to the team than a detractor. Gologoski is looking terrible and to think he’s a “value” contract at $5M! 
I don’t see him back next year. That’s proving to be a bad move by BG.
Well don’t look now but that wild card spot is creeping closer and if we don’t thump Dallas tomorrow who is on a hot streak of their own it’s a helluva lot closer. Objects in your mirror are closer than they appear.
I agree BG made the move that seemed right at the time it just didn’t pan out they way he hoped. So saying it was a bad move probably isn’t fair to BG. Big game tomorrow. Love those afternoon starts on Sundays
