He should get pulled off the pp for a game or two after that one. Switch James & HJ in the lineup too. HJ is not a Top 6 guy. He had a great start, deserved to get a chance, but it’s becoming clear he’s just not a Top 6 guy. Don’t want another Schmaltz situation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godsmack Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Will we see any drastic lineup changes tonight? Guys up in the stands in their suits, reshuffling of lines/line combinations, etc? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked about this with Virg Foss last night, too many passes. Just shot the F'N puck. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

108498 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I didn't hear the game last night, but I was very surprised UND lost. I saw they lost in overtime. What was it that kept UND from winning easily by two or three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have set a single game record for turnovers and giveaways last night. he got picked at least 8-9 times and just drop passed a puck to no one or tried to force an impossible pass another 10-11 times.

90siouxfan Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I don't think any coach in this era will call out players, the team or the opponent in a post game interview, that is like juggling hand grenades. The issues will be dealt with (hopefully successfully) behind close doors. IMHO it's ridiculous to think you will gain insight to the locker room via the post game interviews.

Blake had a brutal offensive zone turnover last Friday in the 1st that could have easily made it 5-1 Denver by the end of the first. HJ took an offensive zone penalty 30 seconds into UNDs first power play last Friday too. It’s as if Bubs and staff got back from Denver and decided to do absolutely zero coaching and film watching this week … 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know his OT history has been good overall but he's been a liability defensively and to not have James out there on the first OT shift was a poor choice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that a bunch of the fans aren’t much better. These guys are college age guys that all of a sudden have confidence in themselves. Sometimes a fine line between confidence and overconfidence. You look at some of the predicted scores on this site, and talk about why we didn’t win by a lot, and it seems overconfidence isn’t only within the player group. You have to respect that Colorado would want to beat the number 1 team and that their goalie has the ability to steal games. Hopefully they aren’t of the thought process that it was a freak thing and couldn’t happen again, and instead have the mindset that they are going to be ready to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Disagree. 3-on-3 is a perfect situation for him. His skills are magnified with all the open space. Plenty of people would call it insanity to not have him out there.

Agree, you are betting that their offensive upside outweighs their defensive shortcomings, which is why you see guys like Kaprisov out on 3 x3 for the Wild. 3 on 3 is supposed to be wide open, which is why they instituted it so the action is non stop. Even in the NHL, goalies are hung out to dry, despite how more players are supposed to be defensively sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore it wasn’t the right time for him to be out there at home with a game on the line. And of course his 100th turnover of the night ended up coming back the other way and in the net. It was fitting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be in the minority, but Blake and Gabber did nothing this weekend to justify being out in OT.....play the guys that are playing well, stop being infatuated with a name. If they dont have it that night, they don't have it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
