with how flat we were.
It would be nice to steal a game we didn’t deserve on occasion.

The Avs came out fast and had their way with us pretty much the entire 1st period and it wasn't much better for us in the 2nd.
I didn't stay up for most of the 3rd since we went down 4-1 early in the period and I had seen enough by that time.
I haven't heard or read anything yet, but that Dumba injury didn't look good.....hope it's not as bad as it looked originally.
A good game to forget and move on, we all have bad days.
Oh, and it wouldn't have mattered who was in goal last night. Talbot kept them in it as long as he could under the circumstances last night.

I don't remember the last time we were so embarrassingly outshot though, sheesh. Anyway, I'm sure they'll bounce back. They have a nice mix of youthful exuberance paired with some sold veteran players and much improved goaltending. Outside of the PP, this team is vastly improved and so much more fun to watch. Special K is everything I hoped he would be and more...

No answer for MacKinnon-Landeskog-Ranten line.

Status: offline 		Bottom line is we aren't there yet. The Avs have far more high end talent on their current team than the Wild have ever had. If we have to play them in the first round of playoffs, it will be just like when we played Chicago at their peak.....no chance of making the 2nd round. It is what it is, but at least we are seeing signs of growth and a new attitude we have never seen from any Wild team.

And....other than against the Avs, they are fun to watch.

What happened to the team that was so fun to watch just a few weeks ago??

Status: offline 		They didn't kick it into gear until Suter scored on the PP. That seemed to put a little energy in their game.
Coasting through 2+ periods and then having a big push to end the game may work against the bottom half of the league, but as we recently witnessed in Colorado, it sure doesn't against top teams.
They need to play like the last 10 minutes the whole game to even have a chance.
Take the win and move on.....plenty of things to work on still.

Status: offline 		That 3rd period broke a string of at least 8 straight periods of looking like they were skating through mud. The Colorado series was one game where they got run over by a truck and another game that was the truck throwing it in reverse and running over them again. You can't wait two periods of the next series to shake that off.

Man, we looked like Koivu's team for 2-2/3 games...

Props to Cam, he is playing well.

Regarding last night. One stat was thrown out there got me thinking. They mentioned that Scotty Bowman use to say the combined ST's numbers have to equal or be greater than 105 to have a shot at the cup. Ours sits at 94 with a very good kill. If we can get to even middle of the pack we would be a dangerous team. As such we are low seed playoff contenders.

Someone sent me a PM about it. He is missed in the Hockey Thread and all threads of course.
