That ice sheet was wretched, by the way. I've never seen pucks slide so poorly on cold water.

Watching more angles, he never even shot it, moving the puck hit his skate or leg and went in.

and the goalie is looking to the ref if he's going to call it a goal.

Guess that move to steal and score is a pretty sweet play.

Certainly replay would have seen that?

You can't kick it in, but if it deflects off a skate it's good, which is basically what happened here.

From what I saw of it, there was no kicking motion, thus a good goal.
It's nice that the Wild get some puck luck for a change....

How did Talbot look the rest of the way?

Yeah, Talbot was reminding of Dubes on one with 4 seconds left in period...

But Special K was everywhere, doing everything.

The winning goal was sort of a fluke, as you guys are saying, but I think goal scorers have a way creating their own luck with their quick hands and flurry of action in a micro-second. More ordinary players are more deliberate. It's nice to have a superstar play for the team- I hope that's what he becomes for the Wild.

Too bad most of our games this season will mean a person has to stay up until midnight to see them or else DVR and watch them after the fact.
Could be a fun team to watch, but it is very obvious already that we are sorely missing a true #1 and #2 center.

Trailing by a goal late, they had a lucky bounce off a pipe with an empty net and then score with a second left in regulation to tie. They get the game winner with just a few seconds left in overtime. Amazing. The Wild should be thanking their lucky stars after a win like this.

Status: offline 		Victor Rask will go back to centering the top line after the forward groups were scrambled Saturday, and goalie Cam Talbot will make his third straight start to open the season after he backstopped the Wild to both late-game rallies against the Kings.

Rask couldn't get on the ice last season and now he is our #1 center.
Let's hope Dumba tears it up early so we can get ourselves a true #1 center as soon as possible.

On the heels of standout performances in his first two career games in the league, the Wild announced today that Kaprizov has won two awards: the NHL Players Association’s Player of the Week award, and the NHL’s First Star of the Week.

Kaprizov’s honors come after the Russian phenom had an incredible debut against the Los Angeles Kings, earning two assists and scoring his first NHL goal in overtime, completing the Wild’s comeback victory. Kaprizov followed up his auspicious debut opener with the primary assist on Marcus Johansson’s overtime winning goal, giving the Wild their second come-from-behind OT victory over LA in as many games.

The last Wild player to be named either the NHL’s First Star or Player of the Week by the NHLPA was Kevin Fiala, who earned both awards with his play during the end of February of last season, earning four goals and five assists over nine games and was in the midst of a four-game point streak.

If he can play solid, then we can win if our guys (Rask) bury their opportunities.

I didn't get a chance to watch much of the game, but saw Rask choke with a wide open net.

Agree with ST, we need to trade Dumb-a for a top Center.

No matter the sport, we all dream of the other team being willing to pay a premium price for players we don't want.
