ClusterChuck Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 May miss most of this one due to visiters but maybe catch the 3rd. Tough test for sure but with the energy from Fleury and possibly Reaves playing might give us a chance. Wild Win 4-3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Let's see what the Wild can do against the high scoring Leaves® Toronto hasn't been able to move on from the 1st round in several years (when they've even MADE the playoffs), and much of that has to do with the fact that teams play them hard and physical and their top six doesn't have nearly the same amount of space as they do during the regular season. The way this Wild team is shaping up now, low scoring, defense first (at least that seems to be the attempt), and very physical, it looks like the type of recipe that could give the Leaves® fits. But then again, if the Wild start their all too familiar parade to the penalty box, and allow the Toronto PP to run loose, this could be a very looooong afternoon. I wanna see Minnesota smother these guys, frustrate them....and maybe squeeze out a 2-1 or 3-2 win in regulation. Gotta be smart though. What's the over/under on time in minutes before Ryan Reaves picks a fight with Mitch Marner to try and fit in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Hopefully Dean Evason is NOT assigning Calen Addison to Auston Matthews. Matthews is too much physically for Calen. Watching him just now, Calen looked like a gnat Matthews too easily swatted off his back in the battle for the puck down low. And now Marner gets a shot in, MAF didn't see it, and in it goes. Looks like Reaves better start that fight with Mitch now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Caught the tail end of the play, but Greenway is getting called for either interference or some sort of elbow....but the TOR player looked like he 'sold' it also. Would like to see that again. Greenway looked frustrated. Like he KNEW the guy embellished it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember like it was yesterday when I lost a draw in our defensive zone at the state peewee tourney in overtime and the opposing team scored on it. Pissed me off to no end. From then on I worked on draws constantly and got pretty damn good at them. Still bugs me when I lose one in beer league 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another example with Kaprizov taken down I've seen that happen (I think)...but it sure is about as rare as a Toronto second round playoff series! And with that, Kap says, "Won't call a penalty? Eat goal!" Tie score! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) Wild really should crash n bash the area around the goalie. Toronto has three of their best defensemen out (Brodie, Reilly, Muzzin), and are working with basically low pair or AHL guys down there.

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Toronto getting away with some high hits and after-the-fact checks out there. I mean, if the refs are gonna call this lax like this, then the Wild need to get in on some of that physicality too. Unless......the Toronto fix is in....
