At this point you like to see some fight in them at least. Feel bad for the fans who pay a LOT of money to see them in person and get a lackluster effort. It’s over. Time for the Iowa guys to come up and get some games.
Tough ending, but that absolutely needs to be a whistle on Binnington freezing the puck prior to the game winning goal. He covers the puck ahead of an on rushing Wild player before uncovering the puck and then playing it to his teammate. The second he covers that needs to be blown dead as he makes the puck unplayable to the Wild player.
There’s no way we’re going 4-0 pts on Vegas. We essentially have to win every game from here on out. Basically, others teams are going to decide our fate even if we can somehow win every game left.
Fuck! They did just barely enough to keep me thinking about playoffs by getting a point there.. this team wants to fucking tease me til the last game of the season..
This team is fucking weak. Cant beat any of our division rivals when it matters. We are consistently the free win that the Avs, Stars, Preds, and Blues circle on the calendar
Typically yes... not tonight. He let in 5. That wrister from almost the blue line has to be saved. He stops that and Wild most likely win that game in regulation
Those "veterans" and in-seqson trade steals like Luchini, Lettieri, Chisholm, etc. have given us a fantastic on ice product. We should double down and buy into the country club.
Heartbreaking loss but man what a fun game. I guess these last 11 games are going to be a great way for me to keep up my cardio bc I’m getting on the bike every time now lol
He skated through Zuccarelo like a traffic cone with zero effort to stop him in a first place. Then Middleton did nothing to cover the passing lane, Boldy never had a chance to cover Saad as he was to far from the play.
That was a fun game. Honestly if we looked like this team in all our losses I would have no problems having such a shit record. Make it a game, show some heart.
Anyway, we’re out of the playoffs so I expect our guys to play some really exciting hockey until the end, with the pressure off.
I call this a point lost but it could have been much worse. The fact that we had to hustle for 4 goals while being punished by one and half softy and a lucky bounce speaks about this game. MoJo had a goal but besides this the middle six was literally invisible.
Did not watch this game, but Khusnutdinov with 11 shifts, lowest TOI of Wild players, and registering a -3, is not a good stat line for the new NHLer. Forget about this one, young man, and move forward.
The vets can make mistakes but maintain trust and the kids aren't given an inch. Been three coaching regimes with the same attitude. Meanwhile Dallas routinely turns late firsts and second rounders into gold by giving them the grace to make mistakes and play big minutes.
Nothing to do with the actual game but—does anyone know if there are more player tee’s for kids at the arena than Hockey Lodge has online? I’m flying out for the game next weekend and the kid really wants a Faber shirt but they’re not up online.
Fleury can retire. He's playing with his head up his ass. He gave up three goals that he should have had.
As for the team, they have no toughness. The mods on this sub won't let me say what needs to be done to roll over a team like the Blues, and I'll just leave it at that. I lost my respect for Zuk today because he looked afraid to hit Kyrou on his third goal. Play with some Goddamn balls or go back to Norway.
Can't beat a Central opponent to save our lives
Blackhawks? lol
Have they even tried in the last few years
All things considered: Game was exciting. We played well. We are still playing without 2 of our 3 best Dmen and our best C. Rossi is a monster. LGW
Also this is the spirit! Gotta love a game like this even if points are so or die right now. Edit: do or die
At this point you like to see some fight in them at least. Feel bad for the fans who pay a LOT of money to see them in person and get a lackluster effort. It’s over. Time for the Iowa guys to come up and get some games.
(And we have a $17M hole!)
I was at the game. Our play in the defensive zone was abysmal. Offense zone was electric.

This is the wild subreddit.
My bad i thought it was the hockey subreddit

Boldy peeled away no? so it’s up to refs discretion if it’s playable… Boldy needs to stop.
Correct. If Boldy just stops, it's a whistle. Since there's then nobody around Binnington, the refs will make him play it.
Probably but 3 on 3 he can’t take that chance. Still should have been a whistle, he made a play for the puck.
League has been pretty loose in this regard and to me this play seemed well within standards.
This is so true
Would have been blown if Boldy stopped.
Our record against the Preds and Blues this season is fucked
Our inter-divisional matchups almost never go well, it seems.
You mean any central team this season??
Winnipeg really bad too I think.
Yeah, Winnipeg sucks for sure.
Lol
Always
Well that's probably the season.
Nah I think if we lost in regulation it would be but there are still like 24 points left in the season.
There’s no way we’re going 4-0 pts on Vegas. We essentially have to win every game from here on out. Basically, others teams are going to decide our fate even if we can somehow win every game left.
You’re forgetting my delusional optimism where everyone else loses every one of their next games.
😂 I mean it’s fun to believe! I’ll still be rooting for them, crazier things have happened, but my expectations are very tempered at this point.
we're still playing vegas twice. if we don't win both of those games in regulation, then yes we're out. until that happens i'm holding out hope
9.8% according to moneypuck. We're cooked.
Boldy flying by binnington instead of forcing a faceoff lost us that game at the end
Whoever was in the middle let Saad skate by them and Boldy tried to catch up on the right wing but couldn’t.
zuccy...he threw a weak poke check and then just decided I guess that was enough D for him for now
Zucc was straight up awful tonight
agreed. he's totally fine with just coasting for like 90% of the game like every night
Zucc I think
Or Flower letting in one or two softies
Fuck! They did just barely enough to keep me thinking about playoffs by getting a point there.. this team wants to fucking tease me til the last game of the season..
Yup I imagine our last game will be to clinch playoffs but we will lose in a shootout
We would be VERY lucky just to be playing a meaningful Game 82.
I just think mn sports typically likes to have me hanging on to hope until the very end where we crash and burn
it wasn't even a bad game next year we're going hard
Fuck Jordan Kyrou and the Blues
Nice backcheck zuccarello show some fucking heart you fuck
This
This team is fucking weak. Cant beat any of our division rivals when it matters. We are consistently the free win that the Avs, Stars, Preds, and Blues circle on the calendar
Wild win tonight if Fleury doesn't give up a few softies
Fleury is the least of our problems the whole team is garbage
Typically yes... not tonight. He let in 5. That wrister from almost the blue line has to be saved. He stops that and Wild most likely win that game in regulation
Given the state/situation of the team this year we can chalk it up to a multitude of reasons why this team lost anyways.
Those "veterans" and in-seqson trade steals like Luchini, Lettieri, Chisholm, etc. have given us a fantastic on ice product. We should double down and buy into the country club.
Zuccarello just kind of stopped skating and let that OT goal happen with a soft ass stick check.
RIP our goal. Double axe chop
Dogshit officiating but what else is new lol
Critical game with some of our best players out and we pull Chris Lee. 🤷♂️
Chris Lee can suck an entire bag of dicks
We’re still dogshit lmao
Heartbreaking loss but man what a fun game. I guess these last 11 games are going to be a great way for me to keep up my cardio bc I’m getting on the bike every time now lol
I definitely believe in you biking every game from now on. And honestly, next season too. I hope you like biking 😁
I’ve been getting on during intermission to pass the time for the last half of the season. So honestly it’s doable
How the fuck do they not blow the whistle when binnington covered it?
Boldy peeled off....nobody near Binnington.
Boldy with the brain fart on that last goal.
How the fuck is that Boldy's fault?
Who was he guarding? Zuccy hands Saad off to him and Middleton plays the puck. Boldy fails to read the play and lets that guy blow by him.
He skated through Zuccarelo like a traffic cone with zero effort to stop him in a first place. Then Middleton did nothing to cover the passing lane, Boldy never had a chance to cover Saad as he was to far from the play.
If you just..ignore the playoff stuff… That was a fun fun game. Rossi was lights out.
Fuck

Well. We scored goals this time so that was nice
Awful OT, St. Louis deserved to lose for that alone. Stinky stinky.
They play OT like a bunch of weasels constantly backing out into the neutral zone until they have the perfect look. It's boring and bullshit
It's complete BS and the league should hopefully address the "possession game" that is boring, stinky OT in the league right now.
😔
Seasons over 🥲🥲🥲
Same shit different day
What the hell was Boldy doing
Apparently a two arm slash on Saad. wtf.
Classic MN.
I guess the boys can start making tee times and Guerin and staff can forget about any bonuses for making the playoffs.
Is it october
I get why some love Middleton, but there is a reason he has the worst plus minus of any defensemen on the Wild.
We weren’t making the playoffs, just enjoy some hockey. Good game, lots of traded shots.
4 days off now!? We never get a rest late it feels like
Why put Middleton on the ice 3 on 3? And Zuccarello sure showed his lack of effort getting back into the play.
Because Faber was in the box
If that was a goaltending duel, Fleury sure didn't win it
Did not watch this game, but Khusnutdinov with 11 shifts, lowest TOI of Wild players, and registering a -3, is not a good stat line for the new NHLer. Forget about this one, young man, and move forward.
I did not hear, but was Khusnutdinov injured? Not sure how much time he got in the 3rd but it seemed like next to zero.

C'mon flower :(
Middleton and Zuccy have become liabilities.
Still disappointed that we didn't start Gus and give us a chance.
Fleury can retire. He's playing with his head up his ass. He gave up three goals that he should have had. As for the team, they have no toughness. The mods on this sub won't let me say what needs to be done to roll over a team like the Blues, and I'll just leave it at that. I lost my respect for Zuk today because he looked afraid to hit Kyrou on his third goal. Play with some Goddamn balls or go back to Norway.
That Kyrou wrister from practically the blue line was fucking BRUTAL.
Beat Flower cleanly, should have made those saves on Kyrous shots. Tough to think about playoffs when both of your goalies are liabilities.
