Looks like a game of a boatload of goals again.

Rask!!!!

Curiousity killed the cat, I know. But can't help it.

I missed what happened.

Bad goal

Ugh

Superaccurate

Bjugie!

Icing. Not good at all.

I think so too. Evason keeps on schooling him. Which is a good thing, as Fiala has potential but needs constant attention.

Fiala and Dumba both take those dumb penalties. They get so eager they lose some control.

Fiala with a bad penalty

Good shift

No Zucc .. That is bad

I wish we would win more faceoffs

That explains why the eye test says he's good, but the numbers overall are not.

Damnit. I would have liked to hear that. Never too much of explaining what the teams are trying to achieve.

Recently we have had a string of positive surprises. Pitlick, Addison, Duhaime, Sturm, the level Kaprizov is at. Hartman.

Lamoriello probably feels somewhat like a father towards Parise. Otherwise it's hard to understand why he's ready to have Parise there.

Parise - Isles funk, Suter - Stars funk. Co-incidence probably, but they won't help there, either.

Watching CAR - WSH while waiting for the game to start. Wonderful, fast, smart hockey

"I've been caught stealing; once when I was 5... I enjoy stealing. It's just as simple as that. Well, it's just a simple fact. When I want something, I don't want to pay for it." TBLTIR has found a great way of abusing cap space by creative LTIR management. Minnesota Wild is currently not manipulating cap space, but on the contrary suffering from cap space Suter/Parise era penalties imposed by the NHL - penalties that should be imposed on TBLTIR as well. The consequence of the NHL's inaction is that the 2-timing champs can manage quite a roster and we really can win only by stealing back from them. The only way we win is some of our guys must find their inner thieves for this game. And Evason must find a way for us to compete in the neutral zone. In the last game they clogged it totally for us, and themselves danced through it with no problems whatsoever. 3-2 OT win for us, because in the end justice always prevails. Bjugstad with the winner. He's played solidly recently, but is probably a real clepto-maniac underneath the civilized, laidback appearance

In the last game they were double trouble for the Jets. Fiala made a very nice pass to Kap, which led to a goal. Kap had a huge game and Fiala had a good game. If only Fiala starts finishing some of his chances, they could become triple trouble for the opposing teams.

Whoever he plays with will be a very good center. That would be very informational - to see what happens when he plays with a center of his own class. I still hope the NHL won't participate.

20 games, 11 goals, 4 assists, plus/minus +15. The plusses being way better than any other Wild player's numbers, and 6th best in the NHL.
