GOD this team is so fucking frustrating to watch. How the coaches and management thought it was a great idea to put the same exact defense out there that didn't work to start the season is beyond me.
And Greg Zanon...holy shit, he might be the worst defenseman in the NHL right now.
Anyway, Ryan Wilson is on his way to being the defensive version of Pascal Leclaire. No sooner back from injury does he take a puck while sitting on the bench, a puck shot by his teammate Cody McLeod. I guess it's gonna take something like THAT to force Sacco and Sherman to reinsert Barrie and possibly Elliott back into the lineup. It took injuries to Wilson and EJ to finally make Sacco give Barrie a regular shift, and sure en
As for the Wylde...if not for pedestrian goaltending from Backstrom, the score wouldn't have been as close as it was. Minnesota HAS to be exploring options of upgrading their netminding situation. The fact that Minny and Vancouver aren't in the same division any longer might ignite possible talks, who knows.
If they know what's good for them, they'll move PMB and Heatley, possibly Setoguchi, and keep Cullen. Dude was pretty awesome for them tonight--nearly had a hat trick.
