He seems 'in the zone' today, and I think he would like to show up McK. Did you see when he picked McK's pocket from behind and led the Wild rush? Nathan 'no likely' being shown up.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think their defense is one of the best in the league, with two very good goalies. But they are definitely beatable. Have to disagree. They are a good, fast, dangerous team. Cup ready? Overwhelming favorites to come out of the West like some would have people believe? No, and no. I've seen not only the Wild, who are supposed to be "well behind" Colorado, pressure them into mistakes in their own end, make them look super ordinary there, but their goalies aren't the ones to take them anywhere near a Cup either. And I've seen other teams, if they follow the "make them play in their own end formula" the Wild are using, do the same. Make no mistake..... I do think the Avs are good, but not nearly as good as some people seem to think they are. Not until they get a better plan in their own end and not until they improve their goaltending. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 OT really does need 10 minutes. 5 simply isn't enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmptyShelf Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Boldy looks just awesome as a Rookie. He is going to be a GREAT player. He is skilled, smart, responsible, and patient with the puck. Each game he is getting more opportunity (Line 2, PP2, PP1, OT). So, I am wondering when they will let him try the shootout? Say, after Kap and Fiala?

CreaseAndAssist Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Hard Work Not Quite Enough in 4-3 Shootout Loss to Colorado Here is @MNSOTA's post-gamer. As I promised from the preview, lots of extras. Pretty good effort all around by the Wild. We had some chances we didn't capitalize on, but the effort was there. We played like a team that felt it could play with Colorado. That hasn't always been the case. You have to love the confidence this team plays when it pulls its goaltender. It knows they can score; and believing makes a difference whether you're going to be successful in those situations or not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
