Three unanswered goals.

Cmon Minnesota.
I KNEW the Sens were gonna bring it, but still, they aren't airtight.

Wild need to do what worked for them earlier:
Crowding the net, driving the net, basically bothering Ottawa goalie Gustavsson.

He will either lose track of the puck that way, or some young Senators player will get overzealous and commit a penalty under that kind of pressure.

The perimeter crap won't get it done.

Let's go boys.

It was a ridiculous situation , but 

 

Foligno now is equalized the score!!!

Thomas Chabot foiled what would have been a point blank shot for the Wild.

He's gonna be a very good two way NHL defenseman for years to come for Ottawa.

Parise update:  0 Pts in 7 games 0+/- (playing PP2 and 14:00).  The Wild clearly knew he was toast late in the year, as the benched him.  The Isles signed him to the veteran minimum.   Suter update: 3 2nd assists.  Too much TOI, and a -2.  

 

Nice to see the youngsters on the team this year.  We need more scoring.  Beckman and Duhaime have been fun to watch.  Loved Rau in HS, not sure he will add any scoring.  Looking forward to Rossi soon.

He already is.  Perfect replacement for Erik Karlsson when he got too expensive.  In two years, Ottawa will look like Toronto - high end talent abounding.

90% of the goalies wouldn't have stopped those last 3 goals 

We could have the #1 goalie in the league and you'd still call him a sieve.

At least you're still in line for your prediction.

Yeah. I passed you slightly in my prediction 6:4 . Not sure if they will follow it and will be able to place 2 more goals.

[Alexandron]

Kaprizov had a nice chance of redirection the puck.

[wildstars95]

kappy and fiala scoring tonight would be nice

[Alexandron]

And now Fiala had a nice chance too. Wow. Missed opportunity.

I didn't say it would happen. 
Did you happen to like Fernandez-Roloson combo?
Pretty much the last time we had 2 decent goalies.

Backstrom - Harding wasn't too shabby.

Shame about Josh though.
I will always wonder what could have been had he not been so unfortunate.

Hope he and his family are doing well.

[Alexandron]

Evason really is not happy on that PP against us.

[Alexandron]

Good job by EEK. And now we are 4 on 4 .

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

EEK has become quite the pest, penalty drawing machine, and overall PITA for the other team.

Love it.

yes even then manny swam around in that stupid butterfly style

[ClusterChuck]

Moose almost had the Hattie. I'm predicting he still gets it. 

[wildstars95]

hockey talking heads on youtube sports picks ,i said the wild would win 6-5 ...i thought i was kidding 

[Alexandron]

I like that line a lot - Fiala-EEK-Foligno. Good solid line .

Not sure about Gaudreau in the line with Hartman and Kaprizov. Evason should try Beckman in this one. At least Kaprizov and Fiala had nice chances in this game.

Zuccarello is a big missing ingredient in all that.

With Zuc in, I believe it allows others to slot better.

He must to have it with our team. He does not have any other options.

Agreed on that line. And even Hartmann with Kap is a good choice.

[ClusterChuck]

Remember Hackett?
Kahkonen is now reminding me of him. Highly touted but then....
For a while I thought we'd have Hacky and Backy as a tandem.
