Bottom line the Vikes lost a #1 WR in Harvin. They picked up a #1 WR in Jennings. Factor in all the what if's you want but on face value the Vikings IMO would have been better off with Harvin due to his overall play making ability...if they could have struck a deal.
As a Packer fan...I'm good with the exchange above as far as the Vikings are concerned.
This is exactly my point. OD does nothing for those two IMO. To give your 2 best players the opportunity to produce as much as they can they should play with a guy that compliments them to some extent. Rocco is the ONLY player that does that. Danny and Corbin basically scored in the Tech series on great individual plays. The chance of those plays diminishes as the competition gets stiffer.
Appeared so.
Knight's goal was a great individual play. Still not convinced OD on the wing is the answer for that top line. He scored but seriously...he had more legit opportunities thru out the game that he didn't even put on the net. For a top line guy you hardly notice him.
Rocco with Rowney and Parks works if Rowney plays to his capabilities.
Gaarder was a beast Sunday and Mitch was really good. I liked what I saw from that line.
How Drake sat for a few games I have know clue. He was all over the ice Sunday. One thing with him and Colton...you notice them because they fly around.
Question is then does Rodwell sit again Thursday???
From what I saw Sunday Drake has to stay in line up. If was Hak I'd go like this Thursday...
Kristo Knight Rocco
Drake Rowney Parks
Mac Mac Gaarder
General Colton Rodwell
Was sad to see Jennings go but he wanted more years and money than the Packers were willing to pay. Also feel he wants to be THE guy again. Wasn't going to be that in GB. Jennings for Harvin...Vikes take a hit. Jennings is strictly a WR. He will learn quickly Ponder isn't close to A-Rog. Harvin is a playmaker...big difference.
We are going to try to make it was well. Have some family in the Cities we have to negotiate around.
1 adult 1 child...I'm the child and my 12 yr old daughter is the adult...or so I have been told.
Too bad All-WCHA voting took place last week I guess!
To Mitch's credit as awful as he was Friday, he was pretty good Saturday and very good last night.
As far as OD goes...yes he did score last night and I'll leave it at that so good for him.
