The goals..etc he was getting last year were awesome. Howistrs, driving hard to the net. He looked like a bull.

What's happening so far this year? I heard mixed reviews of his first game..and that he was awful his last game.

Taking an early train up to Taipei this morning but hopefully can catch part of the game.

Smith started off well last year but tailed off quickly for the remainder of the year.
This year (imo) he just looks a bit too timid still. He'll bounce back though.

Example of why the road to NSH always goes through Milwaukee.

Is Gaustad a scratch again?

Sitting on the high speed train going 300km/h, sadly internet speed isn't fast enough to watch the game but am thankful that can get internet regardless.

Have there been any bright spots so far?

[I Will Son]

1 shot.... Holy ****. Poile you see what we need I hope....

[I Will Son]

Ugh honestly I'm only one opinion but I haven't one good thing

Tarasenko hasn't done anything positive, yet. So I guess that's a bright spot.

Honestly, we look better on the D end and neutral zone than we have in our other 1st periods. But we can't keep any sort of pressure in the offensive zone. Zip, zero, nada.

The goal was unfortunate -- Rinne tried to glove it on the ice, but a Blue's skate was in the way, and it got knocked over to Berglund.

We also have the super anal icing linesman crew tonight. So that's fun.

[NoNecksCurse]

we're honestly the same team we have always been. sort of good but not great. always have a stinker or two and this is one. our offense sucks.

Honestly, our bottom 6 looks as good as our top 6. Even Clune is at least forechecking.

Thanks for the updates.

We continuing to stay on the perimeter when we actually get into the offensive zone?

Excuse me, but we prefer the term "opportunistic."

[worstfaceoffmanever]

12 combined shots? Is this the ugliest game ever?

The Blues D (as typical) forces a dump at the line...and we're not effectively chasing.

If the crowd is any indication, these guys are making the Wild's crowd sound like the Shark Tank.
