    • 7- Wild in 6, tough series, but these bigger badder Wild still prove too much for the 'loaded Blues'
      4
    • 8- Wild in 7, home ice proves to be an advantage, could have gone either way, but MN sends St. L packing in a very hotly contested set

He damn near got back to the post to stop that. Wild just can’t afford to take unnecessary penalties

Home ice is going to be huge in this series and the Wild having the edge here will put them over the top in 7 games.

We SHOULD show the F*&% up and play like a 14-1-1 team at home.  This is EMBARRASSING on D, and an inability to bury the d*^n puck.

Agree with that but still we are trying hard. Husso is too good(better than Fleury) and his posts too in these 2 periods.

2 bonehead undisciplined penalties killed our good pressure.
I'm all for Playoff intensity but think people and don't react to those situations.

Greenways second was benching material. Offensive zone and the puck was long gone. Absolutely stupid

Sad part also, according to Jimtown Guy table, we had 0 goals in 5 Power Plays opportunities during 2 periods. Not acceptable.

Story for most of the year really, So not surprising.
I remember saying long ago if we had a decent PP, We'd be a dangerous team.

It certainly has and I’ve been of broken record lately saying how our special will be their downfall. I’d love for them to prove me wrong

Agreed...Problem with that is we need the Grief line intact.

Evason..."We're built for 5 on 5"
But then you're The 3rd most penalized team in the league. That does not equate to a winning formula.

Really can't blame the team much on the goals given up by Flower.  This is the game that Fleury has left in him.

 

Not sure how it's unfortunate.  The Wild has to ride Talbot, or get their tee times straight quickly.  Fleury is just not a goaltender that's going to carry a team through a playoff series any longer.  Doesn't matter how much fans want him to still be that goaltender.  He's just not anymore.

Regardless, the defense has been dog$hit.  You don't leave Ryan O'Reilly and Perron wide open on the posts......Clue - it ain't the goalie, and the Wild cannot buy a goal either.
