Minnesota Wild vs Buffalo Sabres, Thursday 12-16-21, 7:00pm, Xcel Energy Center

[ClusterChuck]

On that 2 on 1 break with Kap and Zucc, Everybody now knows Zucc's main and almost only move is to feed it to Kap.
Take the shot for a change !! Instead of forcing a pass. 
This dog and pony show with them isn't producing that much.

I don't think its a must win, but its one we should feel confident in.  But sometimes injuries / illnesses force teams to simplify their game and sometimes they rally around it.  Hopefully we take their spirit right away and take care of business.  

Exactly LIG, a must win just to feel more confident. That was my point of building a confidence, but not just only for the points overall.

sloppy first period .. for sure

[Alexandron]

I can't believe that Buffalo was abled to produce 21 shot during the 1st period against us and we only 6. Wow.

Why do I expect to see Pomminville here.  

La Femme? 

 

He was more of a dandy than a hockey player.  I recall paying much too much by trade and later salary.  A total waste of a top roster spot.

[MNSOTA]

I guess we’re not interested in shooting tonight.

21 fricken shots against....the SABRES?  C'mon, get it together!

[ClusterChuck]

Another poor decision by 24 at the blueline.
The X is going to have to repaint the yellow stripe after tonight. All we're doing is marking it up all game.

[bbgarnett]

Fack Talbot did not need to play that puck there 

[ClusterChuck]

Wake up boys !!

[wildstars95]

this is like that seattle first game

[Tomdog]

If you keep playing in your own end that will happen sooner than later.

Yes , it is. And we have now 1:1 score. It seems Buffalo is pretty interesting team - accurate passes - accurate shots.

Talbot should take this puck.

 

[Tomdog]

cross check to the face should be 4 minutes

[Tomdog]

It looks like they worked on colapsing more on the PP

[EmptyShelf]

Can we just start getting 'typical' performance on the PP with consistency?!?  If we do not score on a double minor, we suck a$$

[Tomdog]

I'd like to see the statistis on that trying to stuff the puck from right next to the net.

It doesn't appear to be a high percentage

[Alexandron]

Sadly, we wasted that double minor opportunity.

[wildstars95]

this is the 4 day's off wild from yeo / boodrow day's

[Tomdog]

Whoever coaches the PP needs to be reasigned

[EmptyShelf]

The whole 4 minutes:

We're very lucky that so many of those passes didn't connect.

Unfortunately, we not have consistency on the PP for a long long period of time. At least since Boudreau presence as a head coach. 

[Alexandron]

Foligno- EEK-Greenway is the most noticeable line so far tonight.

5-1 Wild 

 

Kaprizov, Zucchini, Hartman, Ek and Brodin will score

I'd be thrilled right now if just 1 of them scored.
