Ugh

Ugh 

[bbgarnett]

Talbot has to make that save 

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Aaaand the Champs don't stay down very long.

Corey Perry, looking alive the last few games, comes up with the equalizer.
Wild turnovers = bad things for them.

[lynxrattle]

Bad goal

[TallyTigerShark]

Bad play in neutral zone cost you there. Short lived lead…

[Alexandron]

1:1 now. So fast answer on our goal. Wow.

Curiousity killed the cat, I know. But can't help it.

Wild are being smart about one thing:

Aim high on Vasilevskiy.
As good as he is, he is susceptible to a high snipe. Always has been that way.

He has gotten better at minimizing the space up there as his career has gone on, but if teams can get the TB defense to collapse, and Vasy is forced deeper into the net, there is room for an opportunistic sniper to take advantage of over his shoulders.
Wild are certainly aware of, and seem to be trying to take advantage of that. That last Marcus Foligno shot was an example.

Meanwhile, Vasilevskiy devours just about everything down low and at chest level on either side.

Ok, I will put it in the form of a math formula:

Wild Turnover + Sieve Goaltending = Tampa Bay Quick response and tie.

I shall tweet the secret code cracker to the wild bench ..

[wildstars95]

the wild are letting the bubble wrap paper champ's hang around 

[lynxrattle]

 

Rask!!!!

[bbgarnett]

why do we always straddle the line and just pass back and forth like it's not a high percentage play. 

 

Rask!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Alexandron]

RAAAASKKKK!!!!!!!!!!

[ClusterChuck]

RASK  
Thought I'd check the GDT to see what time today's game was.
Joined at the right time. Lol

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Victor Rask...managed to get to the middle of the ice, and surprise, surprise, it looked like a high snipe to beat Vasilevskiy up close.
Wild get the lead once again.

Can they hold it this time?

[lynxrattle]

Looks like a game of a boatload of goals again.

@lynxrattle

You may like this, seeing as how the Canes are your Eastern team:

Carolina is inquiring around the league about acquiring a top four type defenseman.
They are bugging the Stars about moving John Klingberg to them.

Stars aren't keen on moving him now because they are very much still in contention, but it could be something to watch as the trade deadline approaches and if the Stars fall out of contention.

Klingberg would fit nicely there.

[lynxrattle]

Excellent period.

[ClusterChuck]

I didn't see the TB goal but given how Talbot has played the last few games, A 'softie' isn't that bad once in a while.
If 1 softie ruins a game, Then we're not as good as we think.
