The Maple Leafs are only getting better, young, getting close to their prime and fast; while the Wild are showing their age once again. After two poor efforts can the Wild turn it around against Toronto or will they drop their 3rd straight game. Enjoy and discuss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And agree with all your points , especially with, - to move their feet all game long. It seems their production and their goaltenders stats are better than ours. Even if we lose, I just want to see a real battle the entire 60 min. similar to the last year game before New Year against Columbus Blue Jackets, but not a sporadic sparks.

CreaseAndAssist Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 I would be fine with a solid 60-minute effort, if Toronto still has too much firepower so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllaZilla Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Over the last five seasons the Wild's record has looked like this through December 1: 2018-19 - 14-11 2017-18 - 12-13 2016-17 - 11-11 2015-16 - 11-11 2014-15 - 13-10 They are actually having their best season through Dec 1 this season.

rottenrefs Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 It's that magical time of season again when no one in the entire world knows which Wild team is going to show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMahon 6 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Good evening, fans. Let's see a Wild win tonight! Agree with the other posts: the guys need to move their feet and play 60 good minutes. If they do that, I'm cool with any final result. Anyone else think Stalock needs more games? I'm not gonna rag on Doobs for a couple of bad games: that's par for the course IMO, especially when someone is overworked as much as he is. But I'd hate to see another repeat of "Doobs has nothing left in the tank for the playoffs" movie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rottenrefs Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Dubnyk's last four games he's 0-4 / per LaPanta. Boudreau still has Dumba with Brodin. Leaf's go on the PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rottenrefs Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Leaf's - 1 Wild - 0 That looked too easy for them. Get Doobs the hell out of there. He hardly even responded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rottenrefs Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Jesus... The replay showed a 30 foot shot go right in on Dubnyk and he stood there in his crouch... DIDN'T EVEN MOVE and took one right on the mask. MF'er is probably stoned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Rick Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Im sorry but I do not think Minnesota has played well lately. I believe the Leafs will throttle them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rottenrefs Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 7 minutes ago, MNSOTA said: Why is Dubnyk starting? Disclaimer: Parody Stalock got into a scuffle today between 17 gang members. He took several blows to the head, lost four teeth, got his arm broke, a knife in the hand, two broken toes from being stomped on and got bruises on his knuckles. A Wild spokesperson said Dubnyk is starting tonight because Alex was a little tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rottenrefs Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Wild going on the PP. Coyle made a DEEP rush, fed it out to Koivu who whacked at it. Parise got dumped from behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rottenrefs Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 is it a prerequisite for Wild players to pause for 2-3 seconds after receiving a pass before cranking off a shot? WTF? PP is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
