Nice to hear the announcer say the Wild were doubled up on in shots...28 to
16...good thing he doesn't design bridges.
Anyways what happened tonight? The Wild were playing fantastic the past 2
games and tonight they played rather flat. Guess they had to get this one
out of the way. But hey...a win is a win.
Here is a listing of the worst plus minus players on the Wild. I think
this
is one case where stats don't lie. I think if the Wild could weed
themselves of these guys, and just bring in reasonable players, the team
would be much better off. Add a quality scorer and I think we could have
a
great team next year.
PLAYER GP G A PTS +/- PIM ATOI PPG PPA SHG SHA SOG SPCT
Stephane Veilleux, LW 52 4 4 8 -12 47 14:45 0 0 0 1 80 5.0
Branko Radivojevic, RW 46 3 6 9 -11 40 14:49 1 0 0 0 52 5.8
Dominic Moore, C (12 Tor) 30 1 2 3 -11 10 11:56 0 0 0 0 28 3.6 (already
released)
Martin Skoula, D 52 2 6 8 -10 22 20:00 0 0 0 0 42 4.8
Here are the best plus minus players....again I don't think stat lie here
either. Although it really is baffling how Skoula gets so much ice time
and
Carney sits frequently. Perhaps Skoula has pictures of Lemaire in a
mullet
or something, but wathing game after game I just think Carney is a solid
defensive player and has by far fewer lapses than Skoula.
