Needed that whistle badly

Probably easier said than done, but I'd like to see Minnesota skate the puck out of their zone a bit more.
Seems like they are just flicking it out now, and it is resulting in either MORE sustained Dallas pressure, or icing.

Someone needs to take the calm road and skate it right down the Stars' collective throats to break their flow.

As long as Faber doesn't turn pucks over like Fiala turning over brats on a grill, I am happy with the trade Minnesota made! 

and we got Liam Ohgren with the pick too so I'd say we have a lot too look forward too.

They're playing like they do with a 1-2 goal lead right now.

[Jimtown guy]

This is not good 

[bbgarnett]

3, 6 and now what 9 seconds into the PP they'll score,

REALLY soft call

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Damn.

Pressure leading to the Wild taking a penalty.
This PP could be the game decider here.

Dallas scores, they may leave tonight with the series lead.
Wild kill it, they may build up enough to grab the lead themselves late.

Let's go boys!

[ClusterChuck]

Kinda weak call.

[Jimtown guy]

Please no defensive faceoffs 

[EmptyShelf]

I would rather have Faber on for the PK than Dumba or Merrill (if they put him on).

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Atta boy, Duhaime...
Way to cause problems for the Dallas PP!

[EmptyShelf]

That is a Big Kill

[Jimtown guy]

Great kill 

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Big kill, but Dallas still has the zone, and the pressure.
Minnesota needs to play with the puck more.

They are just asking for Dallas to put one past Gus if they keep playing in this way.

[EmptyShelf]

Mo has shifted after PK

[ClusterChuck]

[EmptyShelf]

From what I have seen.  I don't think we will see Faber in the AHL.  He has taken 2 shifts in last 4 minutes (in a tie playoff game).  Dean must like what he is seeing.  I have not seen him make a mistake - has looked very solid and has some juice in his stick and feet.

[ClusterChuck]

We have to make a statement and take this one !!!!

[Jimtown guy]

Kirill better not be hurt. Didn’t see the hit 

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Wow.
Kap slowly to the bench.
Hope it was just the wind knocked out of him.

Suter crosschecked him.

[Jimtown guy]

Reeves kill Suter damnit

Suter with another cheap shot to the Ribs

[EmptyShelf]

Reeves needs to beat Suter's a$$.  I have seen enough of that dirty $hit behind the back.

[ClusterChuck]

F U Suter...So classic of him.
