Screw the NHL. Normally I watch the games on Roku thru ESPN+. Since this game is the game of the night on NHL network, I’m blacked out…..and live in Georgia!!! How ****** stupid!!!

A really gutsy win there, A+ for effort. A really entertaining game as well. I don't think I've ever seen a goal like the Wild's first goal.

 

I don't know about Rossi, though. I can not prevent myself from comparing him to Anton Lundell, who we could have picked (I know, coulda, shoulda, whoulda...). Rossi needs a lot more strenght to be able to fight for the puck. Maybe it's the size or the serious issues with Covid he had, but I sure hope he comes back next season a lot stronger. Maybe he join the training with Kaprizov:

 

 

Great game by Kähkönen, too. He seems unorthodox, but at least he's not afraid. Attacks the puck very aggressively. Sometimes too much, but he gave us a chance to win.

Funny you word it this way about Rossi because I’ve been thinking the same thing since his debut against Boston. To me, Rossi looks a little light/weak on his skates. Part of that could be a lack of overall confidence but I think is mostly physical. He missed a lot of time and it’s gonna take him a little longer. To me, regardless of how much we want him to be, he doesn’t look ready. He needs a full season in Iowa and I suspect he’ll be back there pretty quick. Boldy is another story though. I know the organization would probably love to wait until next year for Boldy as well given the salary cap and roster projections over the next few years, but Boldy is ready. Contrary to Rossi, Boldy skates like he belongs. He already looks like a top 6 forward. I’m sure he will still have some growing pains as most young players do, but sending him back to Iowa doesn’t help the Wild win games. They have some tough decisions looming.

That was a hellava win by this team tonight! I honestly would have done back flips if we got a single point considering all those missing players, but to get a win?? WOW!!

89!!!!

Way to redeem yourself #22!!

I’ll take Boldy in the OT!!

WOW!!!

Seriously, when Fiala gets out of the box, I’d send his ass to the showers. I’d rather play even more shorthanded than have him on the ice.

This is brutal. 

What a fu&$ing brutal 2-3 minutes that was for Fiala. I mean, damn….

Zuc should have given the puck back to Addison right there on the PP.  He was there waiting on the doorstep!

But i’m telling you, I liked the puck movement on that PP.

Injury updates….

Ek is skating. He could be back Friday.

Brodin will not play against Washington.

Regarding Kaprizov, word is they hope he could play next Friday. Evason didn’t give a time frame but they hope he’s ready “next time we play.” To me, that’s phenomenal news that his playing next Friday is even on the table.

Spurgeon skating on his own. No time frame mentioned.

Talbot to skate this coming week.

Greenway didn’t clear protocol. Duhaime did and will play against Washington….provided he gets back from Boston in time.

Russo now quoting Evason who is saying “it doesn’t look good” regarding Kaprizov.

Much needed win, and on the road too. Now let’s hope the collateral damage (Kaprizov) isn’t too bad. Not sure this team can take much more.

Anyone have any details on Nick B’s injury? Sounded freakish…..

#1 star Matt Boldy I hope 

If it isn’t Boldy it has to be Kak. He had a great game in net.

PEUdreau has AT LEAST 10 turnovers in this game.  How does Evason keep throwing him out there on PP2 and for quality minutes.  His level of 'suckage' is beer league

This has easily been his worst game of the season to me.

How about an empty netter for Rossi’s first NHL goal???

Gudreau treated like a rag doll there.

This isn't going to end well if we just try to survive like this.

Agree. Right now it’s looking like it’s just a matter of time. Hard to sustain though short handed like we are. Hopefully Boston gives up an easy one.

Man, we need some sustained play in our offensive zone. 

Embarrassing 

That last save beat Talbot thru the 5 hole. We got really lucky his leg swept it out.

Why is Gudreau on the ice??

Ek had a chance to score.

We’ve actually had a bunch of chances to score but we have missed the net tonight more times than I can count.
