well it wasn't actually a penalty we got lucky though that the other ref thought it was.

 

Well, I mean, if they are gonna call a weak sauce one way, call it the other way, right?  

[Tomdog]

So is Duhaime sick, or did he aggravate an injury?

[ClusterChuck]

2 half assed rushed with those damn drop passes and then that. 
Even up call.

I think i saw "ill" as the reason he is out.

He probably saw those Colorado sweaters and started throwing up...poor guy.

That was an awful call.

[ClusterChuck]

LMAO...

[Tomdog]

The TNT ref says the call on EEkwas a good call. I guess it's on the Wild to stay out of the Avs way.

[ClusterChuck]

Figures...

ON TVA Sports they said the opposite: It's Cogliano who went bumping against Eriksson Ek, hence shouldn't be a penalty.

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

That goal was the result of poor time management on the Wild's part.
SOMEBODY on that bench had to realize the penalty to Byram was about to expire, and call it out to the guys on the ice.

And if someone did, then the guys on the ice didn't pick it up, and Byram had an easy one on one with the goalie.

Avs were aware of the penalty time, Minnesota was not, bottom line, unfortunately.

[wildstars95]

ref's ruined the flow already 

[ClusterChuck]

Ping

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Yep...as @wildstars95 said, the Wild have fans in attendance! 

Should the Wild, some how, some way, make it the Finals, I don't care who it is against, there WILL be Wild fans in those buildings.... Tampa, New York, Newark, Raleigh, Boston...even Toronto.
Man that would be sweet hearing cheers for Minnesota at Scotiabank Arena!

Leaves® fans would have chit over that! 

[ClusterChuck]

STEEL !!

[bbgarnett]

Steel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

The Wild Man of Steel!!
2-1 Good Guys!

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Would love it if the Wild can pick up a third goal before the period expires.

As dangerous as the Avs have looked on offense, they are leaving BIG gaps in their coverage.
Wild need to take advantage of that and punish Georgiev once again!

[wildstars95]

If boldy can score in games like this maybe ... just maybe ....

[ClusterChuck]

Other than not communicating the Av player coming out of the box, It was a solid 1st period. 

[ClusterChuck]

I suppose the late illness scratch of DuHaime led to the 7 D decision.

Absolutely....now for the tricky part...we need two more just like those WITHOUT the breakaway from the penalty box!

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Surprised Foligno didn't get called for being larger than Makar and knocking him on his mountain high arse...

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Dallas fans CAN'T be happy with the development in the Central.

Stars controlled the division almost all year, then slump a bit, while the Avs and Wild play out of their gourds and catch them, and now it's basically a flat footed three team race the rest of the way for the division title and home ice against everyone except possibly the winner of the Pacific.
