Each year seems to get worse lately. Used to blame Darby but it's not his design from what some have said here..

And it's amazing to me that guys like Boldy and Kaprizov haven't noticed that when they play north south and take the puck to the middle of the ice they score.

But instead they take the puck to the middle and pass to the sides for a shot at a bad angle.

Wild have the most ridiculous offensive plays. Low % passing back, Sideways etc.
Look what Bogo and Shaw did...1 keeps speed while the other heads for the net. 1 nice pass... Goal

That sounds like a coaching issue to me. 

Shaw really should be a leading candidate for the Bill Masterson award.

Patrick Kane should also be in there.

I was hoping Shaw would get a goal before the season was over.

The only excuse Guerin could have for the extensions, and worse yet the nmc, is if he had hand shake agreements for team friendly deals.

Not very plausible but I can see no other excuse.

If the Wild want to see what they have in Adam Beckman; now would be the time to give him an audition in a Top 6 role or they should just admit they have given up on him.  Also would be nice to see Marat Khusnutdinov play with some better linemates too.  

Completely agree with this.

I haven't seen much out of Beckman,  but maybe he's being used wrong, time to find out.

Marat should be tried with someone who can keep up with him. Saddling him with Gaudreau is a waste. 

3 games for acting like a child.

And we wonder why the Wild are the most penalized team in the league.

Thus endeth the Playoff streak. 
 

IMO this is the worst possible outcome for this season. No Playoffs and yet another 15-20 draft pick. And we get treated to the same graybeards next season because they all have NMC’s. 
 

This team is Groundhog Day in real life. Except it’s not funny. 

The really sad part is we all saw this coming 12-15 games ago.

The difference between a 15-20 draft pick and a top 5 pick is about 10 wins.

Just saying. 

LA will probably gain 12 more points in 10 games, I don’t think the lower points will make the difference. 

We'll see at the end if they miss by 1 point.

They needed 2 points, but it didn't work. 

They played well. Vegas got a lot of help from the refs, with all the noncalls.

Gus played really well. 

That's the end of the playoffs hopes.

How long will it take for the Wild to pull the goalie? 

The refs truly have been bad today 

Vegas goalie may think twice before trying to head a slapshot again

Just got the game loaded and see that. 

That's bad timing. 

Crap

Hilarious,  commenting about Vegas possibly getting Hertl and Stone back for playoffs.

Of course they'll be back, as soon as the cap disappears.

Lea Hextal is such a dope. Thinks Eichel's spear is controversial. At slow motion it was Clearly intentional. 

I still think they need a right shot forward on the #1pp unit.

Kaprizov 

Looked like an incidental spear, but you need to control your stick.

Now that's a big penalty. 5min major. 

Gus is on today.

Build that trade value.

Another trip by Vegas with no call

That was part of the expansion agreement. That and unlimited use of the LTIR to stockpile talent…

Evidently Vegas ownership doesn't care how much money they spend. 

Ltir players salary comes off the cap, but I think they still get paid. 

That's an extra $22 million to pay out.

Evidently Vegas can't be called for penalties
