No Zucc .. That is bad

[lynxrattle]

Good shift

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

As an added challenge for the Wild, they are NOT facing the TB backup like they did last time out.
They are facing the guy that could very well be one of the best goaltenders on the planet, Andrei Vezinalevskiy.

Certainly not ideal, but I’ll admit I’m interested to see how we fair against an elite team missing a key player. Other teams, like LV for example have faired ok. Let’s see if we can perform.

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Wild with some tremendous shifts....but now the air of momentum could be sucked right out with this penalty by Fiala.

PP Champs.

[lynxrattle]

Fiala with a bad penalty

[TallyTigerShark]

Really stupid penalty by Fiala.

[Alexandron]

Evason was not happy on Fiala's penalty. And saying some .... 

[lynxrattle]

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

[bbgarnett]

Fiala and Evason have like some weird father son relationship or something.

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Wild PK doing a good job keeping the dangerous TB PP to the perimeter.
And now kill it off as I finish this.

Excellent work by the MN quartets.

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

Probably, Vasilevsky could be the 1st goaltender on a planet who could be a member of the Triple Gold Club. No goaltenders so far in that club in its history.

Yea. Icing is only good on cakes, and I don't see any pastries near the Minnesota bench  

[bbgarnett]

Bjugstad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lynxrattle]

Bjugie!

[Alexandron]

BJUGSTAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Wow...Bjugstad!

Powers through (using his size for once!), and surprising Vasilevskiy with that quick wrister!

1-0 Wild.

[lynxrattle]

Superaccurate

[bbgarnett]

Damn what a shot and Joseph just completely like gave up on the play

[TallyTigerShark]

Man did he thread a needle there!!

[wildstars95]
