2022 MN WILD/NHL THREAD

Can we play 5 on 5 for a bit please..

⛳️⛳️⛳️⛳️⛳️

Get Talbot in there. Fleury can’t control his rebounds.

WTH is Kulikov doing?

Tell me again why Talbot didn’t start?

Its early have faith.

Spurgeon’s not gonna survive this game let alone the series if something doesn’t change.

Wild had their chances, didnt convert on them. Cant blame Fleury for those goals, maybe his rebound control on the first one, but Perron right there for the powerplay… need to get more shots through…

Someone needs to bring Brayden Schenn back to Earth. Guys running around like an idiot. Landeskog beat the wheels off him first shift of the playoffs last year and it was goodnight for the Blues after that.

Having watched a lot of the recent games, I was in the Talbot camp as well. Maybe it is his style but Fluery seems to scramble around and has not controlled the rebounds as well as Cam. I do believe the team may feel better having someone back there with so much experience. I just hope it works as this team as been fun to watch this year.

I guess I saw it coming…

Yes. This. 100x this.

Boldy has looked great so far. Finishing checks, good passes/puck control in the zone, and some good defensive effort as well. Great to see that out of a rookie, he’s going to be a difference maker for a long time.

Hope the wild can get a quick one here in the 2nd, if we go down 3 I think this game is going to get ugly.

Wild need to tie it up in the second period here. Come from behind third period fire wagon hockey is not going to get you to the Cup. Fluery has been known to go either way once he gives up a couple. He can shut it down or give up a couple more.

Frustrating to be controlling the game and down 2.

For Christ SAKE score a PP goal!!!! Man they’ve been close.

Fleury can’t keep up side to side. I’m not sure Talbot could have either but he scares the crap out of me in net.

So much for home ice…same old song and dance…blow it up

Yawn

Sob… we’ve had more than enough chances to be ahead in this game… if only fans/media/coaches told the Wild they needed to stay out of the f’ing penalty box this series (i’m joking)…. Playing right into the Blues strength…

Fleury’s made some big saves this game

I haven’t read anything here since I got off work but not starting Talbot pissed me off. Flurry flopper not all his fault all goals weak side rebound with no d around. This poop is already over.

Well only scenario we haven’t seen in this game is a short handed goal.

Doesn’t really help we are 0/4 on the Power Play either. Not what I was hoping to see tonight.

Classic MN sports

After watching some replays maybe not all weak side like I thought but not much d around net

On the bright side at least it’s not another late start.

Hopefully the offense shows up for Talbot in game 2… they hung Fleury out to dry tonight..

Hopefully they play 5 on 5 for more than 6 minutes a game in this series.
One of the more pre season like games I have watched in the playoffs.

Greenway with 2 stupid penalties which led to PPG. Special teams killed them like we’ve been worried about.

Lets hope this is a wakeup call and they feel embarrassed and get pissed off and right the ship… you dont win or lose a series in 1 game…

the first one was just 2 guys in a scrum, should have taken both if they wanted to call a penalty.. second one was ridiculously stupid… it should make a great example of what not to do in tomorrow’s film review session…
