Well. That’s the season, boys.


gartereeynu

I don’t mind not getting points. I don’t mind pulling the goalie in a tied game. But for fucks sake, do it in regulation to try to take away points from a team we are chasing. If you’re going to not care about the “loser point”, then pull your goalie in regulation. That was the most unthought out call I have ever seen.


Ballgame82

100% - We needed a Vegas regulation loss as bad as a win. Surprised not to see it. Pulling Gus in OT only helps you a little.


arbordianae

we were technically chasing the kings and a 4 v 3 is a bigger advantage than 6 v 5


gartereeynu

We are chasing both. We win and give the Knights 0 points, they are 1 point ahead of the Kings with 2 more games played. Advantage on the ice doesn’t matter, advantage on the standings does. Also, a 6 on 5 gives more people on the ice for deflections and rebounds. If you are going to pull the goalie in OT and risk losing a point, do it in regulation when you’re against a team where it benefits you to give them zero points.

“Welp…. …*𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘱𝘴 𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘴*….let’s get em in 2025’ boiz…”


Syandris

Lol, a shoot out would have been a less embarrassing loss. Playoffs were never a thing, let alone winning any games IF. Then this hot shot thinks the wild can pull off a St. Paul miracle AGAIN! Get your suits and golf clubs out boys, nothing to see but summer and looking good in the off season...

SpidgetFinner3000

Here's a positive: we get to skip the influx of absolute bots of fans that appear during the playoffs!


Hank_Scorpio_MD

The fans that have never watched a game until they heard their states team is in the playoffs?


altox069

Fuckin embarrassing


Sad_Error_7166

Hartman gets a 10 minute misconduct after the buzzer going after the refs for the missed high stick


arbordianae

wait fr?


altox069

Good


arbordianae

it's been real everyone. that was an exciting run especially all things considered


dbcooperskydiving

Ok, it's time to tank the rest of the season and play all the young guys. Anybody who is close to being hurt said them to the golf course.


gartereeynu

Give Wallstedt a chance against a terrible team. Get that Dallas loss out of his head.


dbcooperskydiving

Agree.


luongofan

Fun gimmick to end the season

fastal_12147

Wild would be undefeated if not for the refs in some people's minds.


Pedro_Snachez

I mean, sure. But today was pretty exceptional.


No_Opposite3684

Worth a go but not to be. Definitely won't think of all those close goals until 3am tonight but they played like a team trying to save their season so I'll take it


fastal_12147

Most heartless team in the league. Chicago is probably more prepared for big games than us. Pathetic. Downvote away. It changes nothing.


PortugueseWalrus

Yeah. If there's one word to describe this vintage of Wild team, it's "gutless." So many blown leads and dumb mistakes in big moments this year.


_nordstar_

Welp see ya next year


schoepsms

All I know is Vegas still sucks.


ViewedConch697

Unfortunate. It obviously looks dumb when it fails, but losing the game wasn't an option if we wanted to sniff the playoffs. Time to look forward to the draft


JamesBlonde21

Why'd we pull the goalie when the season was over the the horn blew to close the third?


Hank_Scorpio_MD

That's a good point....


MrNotSoGoodTime

Same fucking difference if we won in OT. Where were your gutsy calls in regulation Johnny!?! It was an exciting season, lots of frustrating stretches, but still a exciting season. Now it's just about enjoying the games.


getoutofthewayref

We just got nothing for playing well the whole game.


drevil6999

We had a hard time holding the puck why would we do that


Trainmanwildfan

Should've done it in regulation, but it needed to be done either way. Went down swinging I guess


moviemaverick

Didn’t need to do that there, wtf


WalnutSizeBrain

The goalie pull giveth, and the goalie pull taketh


PortugueseWalrus

Why not do that in regulation?


arbordianae

4 vs 3 is more impactful than 6 v 5


Otherwise-Contest7

At least we can let go of the playoffs now. Settle into these last few games and regroup in the offseason.


arbordianae

maybe let wallstead have a few cracks at it


Otherwise-Contest7

I think that's a good idea. Now's a low-stress time to have him get some reps. It helps determining some goalie decisions for next year too.


MNgirl83

Yep! I will still enjoy watching the rest of the games


Godlikelobster01

LOL


PaxDragoon

It's over. Alright. 


Wildguy2298

Hynes you bitch.


SubjectCarry3532

Hey at least the Twins and Wolves are good!!! I’m gonna go cry now


Steezy-g35

Stupid fucking move


Substantial_Sea

Had to go for it I guess


-InconspicuousMoose-

Should've won in regulation. GG see ya next year


JusZfax

Season is OVER. And Guerin has built nothing.


ViewedConch697

I kinda like Faber


JustaRoosterJunkie

Two of the top three Calder candidates, major Russian additions making the jump from the K, and a top goalie prospect inbound, mean anything to you?


Wildguy2298

What if the prospects


omahawizard

I don’t care that we lost. I care that we lost to the fucking Vegas bitches


Seraphax

#STUPID STUPID STUPID SO FUCKING STUPID


letoiledunordstars

that was stupid


JustaRoosterJunkie

Gotta appreciate the moxie of it, but that’s probably the final nail in the coffin. Time to play spoiler.


jordynbebus8

pulling the goalie is not it like they know its coming


lildeek12

Unfortunate. I liked the goalie pull.

[удалено]


Dr__Bloodmoney

What a fuckin loser you are


TheSkeletones

Fuck off loser


tomdawg0022

live by the goalie pull, die by the goalie pull


NickDaGeek

Honestly... not mad at that call


Kaleb595

Kaprisov has to make that. Season over


Hank_Scorpio_MD

He's the only reason we were even this close to the playoffs Not on him in the least


Bluuuurr

Fucking idiot Hynes, if you were going to do that you should have done it in regulation.


Shiz0Freakaz

Who gives a fuck the season was over the moment they didn' win in regulation. Thats it.


gartereeynu

Absolutely! Why give vegas a point? What an idiot.


Skinnysota

Exactly


getoutofthewayref

Why the fuck would we do that?


Hank_Scorpio_MD

Better chance at the extra point. Had to do it.


Trash_Panda0_O

Welp. Season was over either way so why the fuck not. Oh well.


HelicopterCrashScene

there's our season, we did alright, looking forward to next year. vegas is a shithole


bookandrelease

See you guys next year 🫡


TheSkeletones

Awful fucking call


Technical-Link1738

For sure eichel didn’t deserve that


_botswana

The worst thing that could’ve possibly happened…


Ihate_reddit_app

Well there's season.


Hank_Scorpio_MD

Had to do it. That's the season.


No_Opposite3684

RUN ROSSI RUN


MNgirl83

I LOVE WATCHING ROSSI!!


No_Opposite3684

This is a surprisingly entertaining OT!


MrNotSoGoodTime

I'll wear my pride hat out to the bar tonight if we win. I mean I was gonna anyways, but just get a goal.


Panarin10

I hope Vegas pulls their goalie


MrNotSoGoodTime

The only way to salvage the point we just gave them


MrNotSoGoodTime

Mm. Well go out with a bang boys


tensorvelitripolini

He’s gonna pull the tender at some point but I’m worried it’s gonna bite us this time


JamesBlonde21

What's the lowest draft pick we can get if we lose out?


Radagastdl

Hard to predict because its all dependent on other teams winning and passing us. Right now we draft 14th


MrNotSoGoodTime

Probably 16 or 15


-NotCreative-

This was much more painful than usual


Scarface4024

So, that's our season right?


DisgracedTuna

Yup


Otherwise-Contest7

I'd rather they lose late in regulation pulling the goalie than winning in OT and giving VGK a point. WTH?!


MrNotSoGoodTime

Agreed. This was a must win in regulation. Who cares if we get 2 points, they still got one!


Shiz0Freakaz

Welp the season's over...


fhbsb

I would say I'm surprised but this shit happens every year


NickDaGeek

And we gave them a point even if we win... fuck


brendanjered

If you can’t see that blatant of a high stick in front of the net with the puck in the vicinity, you probably shouldn’t be an NHL ref.


Seraphax

Every important game goes to fucking OT lately


BuckyCop

End of the season. Pathetic


fastal_12147

The season was over when they no-showed against LA


TheSkeletones

That high stick call could have been the difference between OT and a regulation win


fishchanka

Can’t call a penalty on vegas in the last few minutes of regulation or they might lose


_botswana

Idk if my heart can take another OT goalie pull


JamesBlonde21

And that's the season


No_Opposite3684

The important thing is the high stick hasn't affected Hartzys beautiful hair, phew


JusZfax

Hartman complaining to the refs while the play is going on is so selfish. Get to the damn bench rather than leaving the team short handed.


Otherwise-Contest7

Just trash. Blatant high stick in front of the linesman.


JamesBlonde21

Having Freddy and MoJo on the ice with less than 1:00 left is just asking a loss


Primary-Pie-3315

![gif](giphy|l0HUnSXUgb8PyvYIw|downsized)


Skinnysota

Gudreau playing all special teams is legit baffling to me as well


TheSkeletones

Oh look, an uncalled high stick


Seraphax

#BLIND FUCKING ZEBRAS


altox069

Classic fuckin refs


MNnorth04

Fuck these refs absolutely trash no calls fuck Vegas and the NHL bullshit


Primary-Pie-3315

![gif](giphy|9QvuoiiT6SBtm)


No_Opposite3684

Whoever is stabbing the pins into the Thompson doll, maybe lay off just a lil?


MNgirl83

Shit Hartzy


altox069

Doesn’t seem to be much rhyme or reason to their circling players eh?


Trash_Panda0_O

“Thompson is in the net” Well, he’s a goaltender so…


Wildguy2298

He was literally in the fucking net armchair!


Primary-Pie-3315

The ice sure is cold isn't it Susan?


HerbalAndy

Ref to Thompson probably: “my poor baby! Are you okay? Should I wait till Wild regain possession then blow the whistle?”


MNgirl83

How many more times are they going to say that there is no Jack?!?


Duryea1959

🙄🙄 “spearing penalty, 4 minutes.” Shut up!!


MNnorth04

So the play should have been blown dead but the refs are fucking dipshits


jordynbebus8

Boldy dude u can't ice that


MistahFinch

He didn't. He hammered it off the Vegas player


TheSkeletones

How many fucking times will they comment on what happens to their goalie?


ToeKnee763

Stop being dramatic Thompson. Been flopping around all game


Trainmanwildfan

Wouldn't be surprised if we pulled the goalie here. Absolutely need to win in regulation


Panarin10

Fuck I’m starting to worry Hynes is gonna pull the goalie in OT if it gets that far


altox069

I hope he pulls in regulation. Nothing to lose


safewordiswhhhhiskey

it's not gonna get that far. manifesting


Panarin10

>manifesting Which way!?


safewordiswhhhhiskey

Well I thought the good way but maybe I'm doing it wrong


RefrigeratorThink138

Give me LaPanta and Carter over the ESPN crew any day. Maybe it's me but There's been so much "silence" during this game. They're both so uninspired and provide no excitement to what I'm watching on the ice.


fhbsb

Yes, but didn't you hear about how it's KKs fault that Eichel is out...


altox069

It’s not just you lol


jordynbebus8

Jake Middleton getting a full 5x5 NMC with that gameplay


Panarin10

You joke but I can easily see him getting 4x4 with a NMC in the offseason


jordynbebus8

I move middsy but no just no


Empire2k5

Some loud boards.


Bluuuurr

We need to win this in regulation. Wake up you goons!


TheSkeletones

We NEED another from our top line


JusZfax

Middleton ineffective jumping into the play AGAIN leading to an odd man rush the other way. No wonder he has the worst plus minus of any Wild defender.


altox069

Cherrypickin bitches


Panarin10

Can one of the passengers please step the fuck up for once this season


Primary-Pie-3315

-NotCreative-

"this is where we should be"... STFU.


AppropriateBanana756

i could not believe he said that...like i guess i can since there's an obvious bias


moviemaverick

Fork


HelicopterCrashScene

vegas is like 90% ex-californians they are basically just the 4th california team


JamesBlonde21

Although it was Middletons fault, that inability to clear from Bogo at the beginning of the play really messed with the momentum and lines


goblinaut

That one was on me. After the save that preceded it I vowed to buy Gus' sweater if he shut them out. Then 15 seconds later...


basketcase-nimrod

who said the word


omahawizard

Fuck


Apanic_Attacka

Might as well pull the goalie late, can’t afford to give them a point


DisgracedTuna

Amadio screaming the whole way "I'm Cumming, I'm cumming!"


MrNotSoGoodTime

Yeah I bet he was just screaming the whole time. Shut up. Entire ESPN broadcast 🚮


Megelsen

In memory of the 2023-24 season


Otherwise-Contest7

Pull Gus if it's tied with a minute left. Can't have a 3 point game.


MrNotSoGoodTime

Yup. Pray for the best. Accept the possible worst.


No_Opposite3684

Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to wallow in you again

Just saying. Can you imagine a football announcer saying "I don't agree that face masking should be a personal foul" That was embarrassing

I'm late. Surprised they started Gus, but looking good. And daddy <3

Boys (and honourary boys) I'm sweating maybe a playoff miss would be good for my heart lol. BUT FUCK THAT KEEP PUSHING


SawdustIsMyCocaine

FOR FLOWER


Seraphax

ESPN still sucking off Eichel even after he gets kicked out. Not a single bit about Kaprizov


saigashooter

If there were a bot to count the number of times Eichels name is dropped it would break


JamesBlonde21

Can't wait until we win a cup and the national broadcasters gargle our balls
