Minnesota Wild @ Tampa Bay Lightning, Sunday 11-21-21, 4:00pm, Amalie Arena

Strange brawl.  Helicopter swings.  I would rather have Harts on the Bog-erosion

[ClusterChuck]

Rather have Hartman on the ice.

next moose and maroon

Not much of a fight....lotta ragdolling.

Hartman got in a good shot, Bogo knocked Hartman's helmet off.

Bogo is a big strong man, but not really much of a fighter.

Hartman did well to avoid the haymakers.

That would be interesting..

[ClusterChuck]

Playing pretty well overall. Just nothing in the gritty zone.
Not very confident that Kahkonen will make the big saves to keep us in the game tho.

Boldy and Rossi need to be up by next weekend.  Addison will also help.  We have 2-3 liabilities that I am sick of watching = Gaudreau, Rask and even Duhaime.  Merrill in the back, and I have 0 interest in Benn.  We need more skill now.  FL and Tampa just have too much firepower.

[Tomdog]

Gigi and Lapante going on about the greatness of Tampa.

A little easier to be great when you circumvent the salary cap and don't have to pay income tax.

That was my point if I could speak English in my post - not sure what my drivel meant myself  (enacts a self-imposed exodus to the corner for a Time Out)

I figured that's what you were implying.

I am equally lacking in confidence concerning our D.  It has been very inconsistent the past two games.  There is clearly a drop off between our Top Two, and the rest

Old Nanc taking one to the shin.  You couldn't even make that $hit up.  Was a very ODD situation, but I heard it happened again recently for some Women's professional soccer team spot in Europe (team of thugs hired to beat up the competition).  So, who is the crazier gender (sorry Fruit)?

Yeah, But at least we're not giving up odd man rushes like last night. 
Aside from the usual vague LBI, Any word on Spurgeon?

[ClusterChuck]

Btw...Not LOLing at Nancy's injury, Just the meme. 
And not touching ES's last sentence.

Wild doing fine in the gritty department.
According to the numbers they have about as many hits as the Lightning, and the eye test told me they weren't backing away from any physicality and dishing it back as well.

Minnesota may want to steer clear of the penalty box though.
Traditionally, the Lightning get more dangerous on the PP the later the game gets.

If a Wild player is gonna take a penalty, he better be sure he can take a TB player with him.

Puck dropped, game ON!

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

If Minnesota likes playing with fire with the possibility of getting burnt, then they should keep turning the puck over in their zone...

[bbgarnett]

Duhaime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ClusterChuck]

DuHaine !!

[EmptyShelf]

Now that is a quality shot/goal by Duhaime.  I need to call guys out more often

Meaning loose pucks in front of net.

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Duhaime....got to prime real estate and made it count.
Would like to see that more often from him throughout the season. Getting to the right spots on the ice then finishing.

The Lightning have large aggressive defensemen... you are right of course, but easier said than done against the Champs.
