The Blues played yesterday and eek'ed out a 2-1 win over Boston. Charlie Coyle was himself in his debut and didn't do anything that made me wish he was still here. Binnington saved the Blues' bacon multiple times and was pretty busy. While he's certainly their hot hand I'd be surprised if Allen didn't get the start today. Enjoy and discuss...

Alexandron Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Just looked for our schedule till the end of the season. Sincerely, I do not remember such a depressing tough schedule in a Wild history for a remaining month and a half . Practically all teams in that stretch are a playoff teams except maybe 2-3. If we want to show for our fans any nice hockey we should play as a playoff hockey team every game since today. Hope the team will be able to show that level for the fans especially on a home ice. Wish same as MNSOTA, the first goal for Donato in a Wild uniform who is having 3 points in 2 games already and which is a not bad effort for a rookie. I also like Hunt's shots too, who is having a pretty nice power in it , but wish to see them more and more and more (3 times more) often. Kunin, Greenway and Ek making an evident progress too. Good for them. It seems St.Louis team built their recent confidence and results through the impressive play of their goaltender - Jordan Binnington (14-2-1) 1.7 GAA; 4 SO. That winter is getting me crazy as indoor as well as outside. It is something, which I do not remember for at least 23 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icechipper Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Has Hendricks been a healthy scratch or is he nursing an injury? He gives another faceoff option when Fehr gets tossed from the circle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregonwildfan Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 As much as i want the wild to move more guys and retool or rebuild I still want them to beat the crap out of St Louis. Them Dallas and Colorado make my skin crawl. That said wouldnt it be Wild like to go on a bit of a run playing against upper echelon teams.

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Let's go Wild! Gotta re-establish that home ice advantage...used to be Wild were ALWAYS favorites at the X....need to make it that way again. And yea, @Oregonwildfan , I'd like to see the Wild knock the Blues back a peg or two as well. #StLouisJohnnyComeLatelys Stars got a win today, and the Avs leapfrogged them, Minnesota needs a W to keep pace.

Starofthenorth Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Zucker keeps getting set up with meat passes and it looks like he can't hit the broad side of a barn with his shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregonwildfan Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I like how nobody got in Tarasenkos face skating into dooby. I know there was nothing malicious but every other teams defensemen would be in his face for getting that close. So soft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregonwildfan Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I dont want the other teams star player tapping our goalies pads saying sorry after running into him while our star defenseman does nothing, well besides skate past half speed and pretend not to see it.

Starofthenorth Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I'm curious as to why that wasn't a penalty shot. He was in the shooting motion and penalty was committed and he didn't get it off fully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
