At least one point would be nice here....But two would be MUCH better

 

To hell with that one point nonsense...Minnesota had good leads here.
An OT loss would be deflating.

Just one of those games the team HAS to pull the full two out of.

Get to the RED line !!

And there it is!

And with the Nashville loss, it moves the Wild back into a home ice slot for the post season.
Gritty win for the boys in green.

Svech was kind of bright eyed, pencil thin Gumby at that point....Clearly, he learned that some more beef would be optimal

[Jimtown guy]

I only got to watch one period but it seemed like an entire game

My Bro-in-law gave me a mask with a picture of him on the outside and he claims 'not his a$$' on the inside. 
Imo...Good enough reason not to wear it.

Kaprizov getting feisty this game 

While we need Kaprizov on the ice and not in the box, I love it when he stands up for himself and takes a shot at someone.

Great win tonight, especially without Moose. I think Gudreau has heard all of the trade whispers about acquiring a center and stepped it up. 
 

One of the best wins of the year for sure. Keep it up gang!!

The guys really brought their A game for this one. Fiala, Gaudreau, Dumba, Brodin especially, but one could make a season highlights clip on many of the plays by the team. Very well played. Fenton called Fiala a game breaker and in this one I swear I thought he was better than McDavid. A huge game for him. Fenton also brought in Zuccarello who has been magnificent after Kaprizov came. Zucc only needed someone to get to the open areas. Fenton may have been awful in many areas, but he certainly was good in evaluating talent.

 

But the refs were not particularly sharp in this one. Lots of bad calls, just clear mistakes, not seeing what really happened.

Unbelievable win. I was really skeptical in this one. But we were able to win as well as all fans are the winners in predicting our win in that game!!!!!!!

Wild Outlast the Carolina Hurricanes in 3-2 Thriller

 

Fun game to watch.  Its nice to see the Minnesota Wild just focus on playing hockey instead of getting so caught up in the extra crap after the whistle like they did against the Jets.  Fiala and Kaprizov really came to play and play fast tonight.  Svechnikov has a wicked release, we're lucky he didn't notch a hat trick in those closing seconds of the game.  Still, the team worked hard and played pretty selflessly when it needed to make plays and were able to get a big regulation win against a top notch & healthy opponent.  

 

I have game recap, an extended Iowa Wild report and prospect news too.  Enjoy!
