Minnesota Wild vs Chicago Blackhawks, Friday 12-16-22, 7:00pm, Xcel Engery Center

They should offer multiple broadcast options for games like these kid of like how Amazon does for TNF

[ClusterChuck]

Still forcing the same old pass plays.

[ClusterChuck]

Spurge got away with one there.

[IllaZilla]

This is the first game I’ve been able to watch all season. 
 

The colors are right, but not enough fighting…

[ClusterChuck]

Thankfully Happytoseeyou whiffed there. 

[IllaZilla]

They remind me of the Gophers under Doug Woog on the power play. Pass the puck around 45 times looking for that perfect shot instead of shooting at the net…

Spurge needs to get rid of the 11th grade mustache…

It has to be almost easy to defend being so predictable as the season goes on.

I swear, no matter who is in charge of the power play, it’s always the same: pass, pass, pass, pass again, oops, turn over…

[bbgarnett]

and what is that 3 or 4 times already that dumba has fumbled or missed the puck at the blue line

Doesn't create any 'chaos' that's for sure.
Just like  Chicago's last chance, We'd have made another pass instead of taking the shot.

[IllaZilla]

Fleury has GOT to stop those rebounds…

[Tomdog]

Pass, pass, pass with no movement is so easy to defend.

There needs to be movement.

[ClusterChuck]

Kind of a Meh 1st.

He never will, never has before, no reason to expect him to change.

Just like the announcing on the ESPN+ feed…vanilla anyone?

Then the defense needs to do a better job of clearing the puck out of the slot…

[Tomdog]

They really need to accept that they don't know Hockey and take some lessons from some of the better Hockey play by play people

We have been doing a decent job of that but way more so when Gustav is in net. But he doesn't give crazy rebounds like Fleury

We get the 'B' squad tonight.

Defense is in a tough spot then, they need to decide whether to clear the puck or tie up the player.

Cannot handle the play by play gal so watched Zuccs goal and switched to football game. Her voice drives me nuts

I so wish radio could be synched in these cases.

[ClusterChuck]

What's the deal with Kane and Toews? Are they wanting a trade or just OK with showing up to work with a rebuilding team with little chances of PO's ?

I don’t know what is worse, the females phone tree voice on ESPN+ or Lapanta’s “Top 10 Stacks of Wax” 1950’s radio voice…
