@guerillasports@gs_off_ice It’s so funny. When his team is diving all over the ice and gets all the calls he just shrugs his shoulders and says the other team is undisciplined but when the refs aren’t on his side he blames the ref. I hate the stars more every year because of this garbage.
@MolitorisNick It’s called projection. The stars are the worst team in the west for diving and stars fans can’t enough when their guys do it 5 times a game but as soon another team even comes close to remotely diving they call it out.
@AlexNorwood23 Clearly offsides. By rule the call was correct. The only argument that exists is future use of challenges. Sort of like pass interference review in the NFL when they had it. End of the day, Nyquist is a seasoned vet who needs to have awareness of his positioning.
@MinnesotaSOH Only things I’d change are keep Middleton with Spurgeon and swap the second and third line. Foligno and Hartman are playing the best hockey among our forwards after the top line.
@BarstoolChief It’s not luck. It’s continued misplaced trust in our depth veterans to show up in the playoffs. Hartman and foligno can stay. Nyquist, Jojo, Merrill, Bogosian, and hell even zucarello can all go at this point. Bring up the plentiful prospects we have and give them a shot.
@MinnyHockey Best prospect pool in the league and Hynes and Billy G continue to rely on unreliable and useless depth veterans. Either no showing or like Merrill and Nyquist, straight up costing the most important game of the series.
@WildTakes10k I’m not sure why the Wild continue to put trust in our depth veterans year after year in the playoffs just to continue to no show or cost the series. Dump them besides Hartman and Foligno and bring up the young and hungry guys. We’re letting a top prospect pool rot in the AHL.
@spittinchiclets Bench the rookie just for Merrill to be above the faceoff circle as his guy sits wide open in front of the net. Nyquist is the worst deadline acquisition. Traded a second round pick just to do cardio and then be offsides in one of the most pivotal goals in Wild history.
