Pospisil finally converting one. He has been around it a lot lately and working hard. He has also been keeping the bad penalties down (knocks on wood).

Vladar didn't close the door like how Wolf has been lately, and a 0.870 S% doesn't look great on paper, he still made some great saves at key times. Eye test, he looked fine IMO. It's too bad that the Wild didn't fire a few more muffins at him so at least the stats would have matched with the eye test.

Being able to consistently count on the 4th line has been a big plus so far this season.
Very true, but Huberdeau has to figure out his game.

He has hustle, I'll grant him that, but its like...useless energy being expended for no accomplishment. Its like watching a Pee-Wee hockey player.

Just skating around trying to substitute effort for effectiveness.

For an 'Elite Passer' his passing is brutal.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
