Wild appreciation post.
How fun is this team to watch? They are so deep that Boldy, Rossi, Beckman, and Addison are having a tough time cracking the NHL lineup. I would argue they are NHL caliber players right now.
I’m a diehard sports fan so I catch most of MN sports teams games, but this team has been must-watch TV for me!
How about Dean Evason?! All he does is win games and push the right buttons.
Is anybody else having as much fun watching this team as I am?
They definately appear to have a long term/sustained success plan for the franchise and are sticking to it, a rarity in MN sports…They can roll 4 lines against any team in the NHL (still tbd on how they match up against a full Avs squad though)
The part that’s been so pleasantly surprising for me is that they are scoring alot without their top guns (Kaprizov & Fiala) scoring goals like they probably should be yet…That’s a great benefit to have…
The only negative sofar this year is the Powerplay….and imo nothing will change with it until they make a direct PP coaching/philosophy change for it, GMBG needs to hire some outside thinking…
OR
at the very least copy exactly what the Capitals/Bruins/Leafs do on their powerplay (the NHL is a copycat league) obviously we can’t expect some of our guys to duplicate what a Ovi/Pasternak/Mathews can do, but we do have skilled players that should have similar success…
