And Gaudreau made up for the lame penalty shot with a snipe for the winner later!
That Boldy, Fiala, connection just keeps getting better too.

Not only is the Boldy/ Fiala connection getting better, Kaprizov, Zuccarello just keeps clicking.

I thought sure they'd overturn the call and give the goal to the Rangers but it was because I was focusing so hard on where the puck was, and how it didn't stay under Talbot's glove for very long before it trickled in. On all the replays, that's what I was watching.

It wasn't until I was watching "On the Fly" later when the guy who was on with Jamie Hersch (don't remember his name) was adamant that the "no-goal" was the correct call, and he pointed out (and the video showed) that the Ranger player used his stick to push Talbot's leg back into the goal, which made it impossible for Talbot to stop the sliding puck. Had his leg/with pad been in place as Talbot positioned himself, the puck never would have made it in.

I have often appreciated hockey linesmen for how well they catch things even at the incredible speed of hockey. And this was one that they definitely caught immediately, and made the right call.

And the good guys won.

The puck crossed the goal line with a second to go.it was in New York and honoring one of the great goalies of an era. I was sure the league officials would look the other way and rule it a good goal.

Yup, I was expecting to see some 3 on 3 in short order. Was very surprised they actually got the call correct despite the circumstances.

“Tough building to make that call. But it was the right call,” Evason said.

It helped that we got 2 quick goals to start the game, but really this game was won by Kaapo in goal.
Sure is nice having 2 goalies that can make the tough saves and keep us in it.
Keep this thing rolling with a win in Chicago Wednesday before the All Star break.

Status: offline 		One of the things that Ant'ny LaPanta and Lou Nanne talked about on the broadcast was the list of three players who might be amenable to a trade to the Wild midstream, and the two things they all had in common were their all-around excellent play, and their prowess at winning faceoffs.

Their discussion reminded me of something I've thought about before when the stats show that we aren't that great at winning faceoffs - - - how is this not something that can be a point of focus in practice? I'm not saying that winning faceoffs is easy, but I'm wondering why the coaches don't pick out three forwards and just put them through the paces, over and over again, to train them into doing better in faceoffs?

All of the other skills seem to improve with focused training. Why not that one?

Now, having said that, at the end of last night's game when they were showing the stats, I think the Wild and Islanders were basically tied (give or take a couple) in faceoff wins, so maybe the current squad is not that far off. But based on the discussion Ant'ny and Lou were having, it was essentially a discussion about what you'd be willing to give up to get one of those three guys who shine in the faceoff circle.

The Wild gave Jordan Greenway a three-year, $9 million contract extension that will run through 2024-25.
The GREEF line will be dominating for at least 3 more years.

Good signing.

Maybe they already do. My guess is other teams probably also do that.

Status: online 		Merrill and Sturm return from Covid list so that just means a reshuffle from last game. I think the extra time off for Foligno as well as Dumba will help for the stretch run. After the All Star break our schedule gets brutal in a real hurry with games practically every other day for 2 months.....

Ok, admittedly, I’ve not watched Fleury much. How is a guy that gets chased every other time we play him be a lock for the HOF? 😀 worst nickname in sports too



Never done this before but bumping myself as I've never really been spot on before
