The truth is that there is an excepted norm in the game that you do NOT go after the superstars. No one delivers hits like that to Sidney Crosby, for example.

It's Boston though, essentially one of ESPN's 2 "homer markets". They can do no wrong to a flyover team like us.

Well done, yet we're the one who's star player is out who knows how long. Not well enough done. We won the battle but may have lost the war if KK is out long.

I turned it on near the end of 1st period and their thug, #11 was roughing up Zuccarello. I wanted an immediate visit from Foligno on his next opportunity after he got out of the box. Unfortunately that didn't happen until well after KK left the game.

I also know nothing will come of it other than maybe a small fine and slap on the hand. This is how the Bruins always play and have for years. Remember the brawl that happened between them and the North Stars back in the old days with over 300 minutes in penalties? We need to do that to them when they visit St Paul this season....let them know that shit won't fly against the Wild. Either play hockey or be prepared to pay for cheap shot hockey!

We need to get healthy bad.

Agreed on both, but I think Rossi could use about 10 pounds of muscle added to his base. He seems to get knocked off his feet easily.

They may not have enough talent to make a run yet, but as a group they sure are easy to like. Who would have thought a lineup of mostly Iowa players would have played close with Ove and the Caps. I actually missed chunks of the game channel surfing back and forth between the Gophers sweep of MSU and the Wild, but knew I had to catch the end of the Wild game. And true to form, they didn't disappoint in 6 on 5 play and stole one again.
A fun night of hockey!

I don't think Rossi can add 10 lbs of muscle. The kid is already built like a brick shit house.

It's great that the Wild were able to capitalize on one of the greatest gift goals in the history of hockey. I had never heard of a team scoring an own goal when pulling their goalie for the extra attacker ahead of a power play. That was one for the ages.

Kappo is really stepping up in Talbot's absence. Rock solid again last night.

Shootout goal aside, I'm really glad that Guerin only signed Fiala to a one year deal. I really thought he had turned a corner last year. He turned another corner this year and is right back where he was.

All in all, a great win with our best center, best two defensemen and best player all on the side line.

Finally, is anyone surprised that the league declined to discipline Frederic for his dirty hit on Kaprizov? I'm not. Same shit, different year. It's always open season on Wild players.

Look who is in charge of player safety at this time, George Parros, an f'n goon from yesteryear who's only place in the league was fighting.
That tells you all you need to know about how much the NHL really cares about player safety.

Status: offline 		What an incredible end of the game. The whole game was pretty entertaining, even when we were having trouble scoring goals. But they just never give up, and that's the trait of successful teams.

I was livid with Fiala for the trips to the penalty box (I think one of them was a pretty bad call though), but he redeemed himself with the shoot-out goal. Much needed win, and much needed two points.

And now they sit until the 14th for the next game. Damn covid. The good news is that we'll get most of our sitting players back by the time we play again.

Still mad at the league for not disciplining Fredrick for the hit on Kaprizov.

I think "kid" is the operative word there. He is still a kid playing against men and it will take some time for him to adjust. You can tell he will be a good one though.

Looks like Ericksson Ek is set to go on Friday. He has been centering Foligno and Greenway in practice.

Rem Pitlick was placed on waivers. Things went south fast for Rem after a promising start. I think this is an indication that the Wild have already decided that Boldy is here to stay.

While Pitlick has shown flashes, he hasn't seen the ice time he needs to take the next step. Hoping he clears waivers and can get some quality ice time in Iowa.

I had a feeling he may not make it through the waiver wire. Maybe he will get a better chance to play up there.

Why send Pitlick through waivers instead of a worthless sack of crap like Gaudreau.

So off he goes to a Montreal.......
Dewar will now get to rotate in the coveted 4th line spot.

At least Ek and KK are expected back this weekend.
