Fargocase Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Very disappointing loss. Obviously could have gone either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMahon 6 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Dammit. The Wild deserved better. Can't fault the effort.. the hockey gods of good bounces just not on our side today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fargocase Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 The puck sitting on their goalie's shoulder - that was insanely heart-breaking! It was kinda like old school hockey but of the three fights, there was about as much actual fighting as 1/2 of an old time hockey fight. All three fights were pathetic.

CreaseAndAssist Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 Wild Fall 2-1 in Feisty Effort Against the Flames Not a bad effort, but obviously the missing players sort of undermined the team's cohesion as the game went on. On the promising end of things was the improved play of the younger players. But not having Dumba and or Zucker means there is no real one-timer threat. If that is a situation that will exist for a while they'll have to figure a new approach and quick. I have a full game recap, an Iowa Wild report and prospect updates too, check it out!

I'd agree, those were pretty poor scraps...they weren't really worthy of calling them fighting majors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mandatory visors cut down on the motivation to fight, more than any rules changes do: the "winner" of the fight is liable to mess up his hands worse than anything the "loser" gets.

IllaZilla Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 They just need to eliminate fighting. Makes the NHL look like WWE on skates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The days of Basil McRae and Al Secord swapping bombs are over, and we'll never see Bob Probert's like again. Now, it'll be Ryan Suter cutting promos on the mic: "I'm taking a Kwik Trip to the penalty box, where they have healthy cotton swabs for my nose."

Fargocase Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 They should create a meme of Suter skating back to the bench with the bloody nose and dripping blood - add the old "Give Blood! Play Hockey!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
