Kirill needs to change sticks again, pucks are just blowing up on his blade…

One of the weakest tripping calls I’ve seen in history

How many companies are there because before the switch it was happening it’s not the stick

……just when you think they will actually kill a penalty

Let a lot of other stuff go this game and then call that, dumb.

Great officiating both ways.

And then Boldy’s stick gets tossed out his hands with no call

I’m definitley more satisfied with how they played tonight vs the past few weeks… domingue played very well and they controlled play for much of the game. It’s a lot of little plays of defense they need to clean up. Bad pinches, not boxing out, and puck watching. They control play more when they are physical and grind.

I agree. I was ticked about a lot of other calls both ways ok let them play but that was lame.

Faber has 16:28 of icetime through 2 periods already… just crazy

Unbelievable how young he is and what he’s being asked to do.

And unfortunately he won’t even be in the discussion for the calder because he isn’t a scorer.
There should be a trophy for the best defensive rookie.

it could be worse, we could be the Oilers…who lost to the Sharks last night, expect the Oilers coaching staff to get fired today…

Addison played almost 20 minutes and was a -1 (but could have been a -4, he looked so disinterested in playing defense)

If Faber continues at this pace he’ll for sure be in the Calder conversation, Power and Sanderson had pretty identical roles and stats last year and they finished 3rd and 6th. If Faber starts getting PP1 time like Dean alluded to then his points will go up and he could be legit in the Calder race.

But yeah there’s no chance he actually wins it unless Bedard gets hurt.

I couldn’t stay up for the Oilers game but omg the wheels have come completely off and they have lit the tires on fire

Leon LOL

You definitely weren’t wrong about his interviews lol great timing

Reminds me of this interview from Matthews… “great question”

LOL I forgot about that one.

McDavid might stay in Edmonton, but Leon wants out ASAP imo…. I think there’s also a bit of an ego issue with him playing second fiddle to Connor all the time…

Watch him somehow land in TampaBay replacing Stamkos & Hedman caphits….

Always so spicy and dramatic Joe

Spurgeon back in tonight…

Good. They need a boost.

Why dont we get in front of the net and screen for point shots on the powerplay? Its unreal… it looked like Maroon and Zuccy actually got out of the way of the goalie for Brodin’s point shot just now…

Just some sloppy hockey being played. Turnover after turnover. Fanned shots and missed shots. Blown opportunities. Not good.

On the upside, the Wild sure have dominated the face offs.

Along with with faceoff wins the play of the Gus bus has been very good.

Gus probably should have had that one but these guys need to score

Faber is just so good. So smooth. Foligno needs to chill again.

Saw Kirill is already like 3rd or 4th in goals scored in wild history.

Totally forgot greenway played for Buffalo now. Anyone miss him over maroon yet???… other than maybe reavo of course…

I love how we always seem to bring the very best out of the opposing team goalie…

Sorry but this team is not built to score 5+ every game to win.
Most teams are not built that way but the Wild definitely are not.

Coulda really used one more save yet again tonight

They also made Devon Levi look like a good goalie, something he hasn’t done much of this year

Foligno’s been a monster on the forecheck all season, and very visible tonight. Great in the D zone too.

It’s a toss up. Lately when they try to screen they end up blocking their own shots.
To effectively screen you really need accurate shooters.

Another great game by Jesper Wallstedt last night in a Iowa Wild road win…
