Minnesota Wild @ Vancouver Canucks, Thursday 3-2-23, 9:00pm, Rogers Arena

It was an important road game for us. Did not expect low scoring game but the most important for us we have got 2 valuable points in regulation. And Fleury was solid too. I am also glad Kaprizov added a couple goals in this game and now has a chance in remaining games of this season to place 11 more goals to reach for the 1st time in the Wild history 50 goals record. No one did this before in 23 years in our team. 

 

After watching Wild games of this season and an impressive performance of skills at the All Star week for Connor McDavid (when he placed 4 goals from the first attempt in each corner ( 2 top; 2 bottom)of the net)) it came a question: Do we practice every day this skill? It seems not. His records this season are outstanding: in 62 games 118 points already (52 goals; 66 assists; +/- +11). Elite prospects projected for him 156 points(69 goals; 87 assists) this season.

That was pure beauty.  I think he sandbagged the final round by hesitating so the other guy would win
He made all 4 while the other missed one and he waited 'Too long' to hit his 4 in a row again.
I'm sure our team in practice aim for corners but in less tense environment. Come game time it's all so much quicker and they miss by 2' or so too often.

Did Duhaime get hurt in that scrap?
