Minnesota Wild @ Colorado Avalanche, Saturday 10-30-21, 8:00pm, Pepsi Center

Favorable calls for the Avs.

WTG refs. Avs could use all the help they can get on their way to the playoffs.

[ClusterChuck]

Here we go...

[bbgarnett]

Talbot needs to save that 

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Such BS on these calls.

Go ahead Avs...take what you are given.
You STILL aren't good enough for a Stanley Cup, ya jack holes.

Makar runs a Wild player, doesn't get called... Wild runs an Avs player, Col ends up with a 5 minute PP, and Mac only gets 2 for roughing.

And now there's that a-hole Kadri.... the KING of starting crap then acting supremely surprised when someone wants to tear his head off.

15 wasn't enough for Duhaine, Needed to add 2 mins and by chance even it out for the AV's

And Boldy after recovering from injury. Another interesting player in Iowa is Nick Swaney.

[ClusterChuck]

Seriously, You call that during a major?? 

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Kudos to Jon Merril....he was in Mac's face while Nathan was trying to line up shots...even took him into one of the side boards.
THEN got a clear when the Wild needed it.

More PK'ing for Minnesota coming up, and I am not a huge fan of Merrill's, but damn if he didn't do well on that last sequence.

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Damn... Kulikov paid for that.

Fallen warrior!

[ClusterChuck]

Still a very good 5 on 3 kill.

[bbgarnett]

yay more weak wristers with no one in front of the goalie

All things considered, it wasn't the slaughter I thought it would be.

Plan backfired on The Joker and his ref cronies...

thats a gash  ear doesnt bleed much

[ClusterChuck]

Only 1 against Grubauer is one thing but 1 against Kuemper is downright embarrassing.

[Alexandron]

At least we are not losing with embarrassing score 9:1; 7:3; 6:1 like we had last season against these teams.

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Jon Merrill again...may have just saved a goal!

Fantastic game for this guy tonight.
I won't be saying that a ton about him this season, but he has earned some praise with his play this game.

[ClusterChuck]

LaPanta..."The Wild need a spark" Umm that might be 97 and/or 22 at some point tonight genius.

[ClusterChuck]

Brodin's being targeted...Wow 3 big hits against.

Lol...NM...I bumped my KB and the feed went to previous play 
one of those nights.

Kevin Fiala may be one of the few players in the league who can match Nathan MacKinnon stride for stride.
He just needs to watch his stick though.....can't be sticking that thing in and around Mac's hands....refs don't need much of an excuse to give the Avs another PP...

Of course.
Brodin's been solid all game and a major pain to the Avs' setting up scoring chances. 
Just like Kap up front, they know who they have to take out in order to do what they want to do.

I wanna see some Minnesota players take a few liberties with Landeskog or Makar see how they like it.

Foligno making "light contact" with Kuemper just a bit ago works too.

[ClusterChuck]

1 dumb penalty ruined what could be a fun third.

[bbgarnett]

wow we are just so slow 

[bbgarnett]

well later all

one dumb penalty and some hellaciously bad calls by the stripes didn't help.  We do, however, need more offense AND chemistry.  None of our lines look smooth (with the 4th looking the smoothest - and they are all new).  I would keep Beckman and DeWar up and send Rau back down (if it were me)
