Wow...this game is such a hot mess, the officials aren't even calling blatant interference, and Dubnyk went off THINKING there was a penalty on Nashville (there should have been earlier, but no official had an arm up)...

Hell...I am getting confused here....
And the Wild aren't helping themselves by not burying chances.

This is getting tougher and tougher to watch.

Missed Opportunities Haunt Wild in 1-0 Loss to Nashville

 

(sigh)  Not real surprised.  Even the Predators seemed to know from the start that after they scored they knew they probably had a pretty good chance to win this one 1-0.  The power play was rancid.  Minnesota still had plenty of chances to tie the game but they didn't get it done.  Staal has one foot in the NHL grave and he's locked down for another 2 years.  At times the Rask line was Minnesota's best which is probably more of an indictment than an endorsement.  We so don't deserve the post-season.  I have a full game recap, an Iowa Wild report and a big college hockey report and prospect news too...

They could buy out both Parise and Suter in 2022, and I believe the cap hit would be $1.5M over the next six years. 

I believe that's exactly what 11 and 20 are waiting for.

Neither want to play out their contracts,

The replay actually showed Dubnyk looking back at the net knowing it was off as he was leaving so it was technically a smart play.

But then he tries to go back in...🤔

But Suter could have easily done one of his drop passes and put it in the net himself. :P

I think the Wild marketing department can put the "This Is Our Ice" marketing campaign to bed after this season...

You mean the 'Jinx' ? :P

They'll have quite the task in coming up with something after this year.

 

The Minnesota WILD...Come figure us out.

Dubnyk's gaffe - made #14 of  Elliotte Friedman's "31 Thought's"

 

14. After two controversial net-off-the-moorings calls in Toronto (March 13 vs. Chicago and March 15 against Philadelphia) the NHL sent out a memo asking, among other things, officials to be more diligent about replacing nets that are jarred loose. That note scorched Minnesota’s Devan Dubnyk in Monday’s 1-0 loss to Nashville. In the third period, seeing his own net dislodged, he went to the bench for an extra attacker, knowing that the rulebook dictates the Predators cannot score in such a situation.

Is Dubnyk brilliant or not for leaving his net during bizarre sequence?

The rest of the Wild were fooled by this move and took a too-many-men penalty. But it could have been worse, as the net was put back in position during play by one of the officials. In that case, the Predators could have scored.

Dubnyk admitted later to reporters that he saw the Rangers’ Alexander Georgievdo the same thing during a 3-2 loss in Edmonton and thought it a smart play. Here’s the problem: the date of that game? March 11 — just before the two controversial plays and ensuing memo. In case anyone forgot, what happened Monday will be a reminder.

This is just proof that no one, anywhere, reads memos...

After reading your post game analysis, I thought you were a little too kind on your first period assessment.

The Wild's inability to make a simple pass from stick to stick was team wide.

The short handed goal inexcusable.

The power play anything but powerful, inept would be a better description.

They did play better for the rest of the game, but we all know it takes 3 periods.

Thanks for the pre and post gamers, it must get old this year.

Thanks from my part as well. It makes it a lot easier to follow the Wild, when one can read a reliable description of what happened at times when there's no time to watch the game.
