Hmph. I can't make heads or tails out of this team. They managed to make a mess out of the last home stand where they supposedly play so much better. So that means now that they're on the road again they 'll probably turn in a rock solid performance.

 

As Eddie Vedder said last time I saw him, "We're gonna need more wine..."

[Tomdog]

Well if they play bad they have the instant excuse of too many days off. 
There is no reason for them to have a bad game.

76.1% Penalty Kill (25th in the NHL)

 

Both being in the bottom 3rd is unacceptable.

I could handle one being in the top ten (used to be PK ) while the other is bottom.

Anything but this.

Specials teams is a nightmare in general. I've started yelling "Decline" when a Penalty is called againt the opposition. 

We could have good pressure going on, many solid chances and then it get ruined by a PP and switching to that 'system'.

 

4 on 4 is played like a PK, 3 on 3 was a little better for a bit...SO's --> 

[Tomdog]

I can’t get there pp. 

I watch teams with good pp’s and think, why don’t we try some of the things they do?

Same pp that doesn’t work, rinse/repeat. 
Insanity

Maybe they need to practice it more, like Coach Parise said...

An intense blue dark very tannic wineto en-reach our body with more antioxidants and resveratrol for extending our tolerance in case of the Wild poor performance. .

Probably, they need more to look for our prospect players which having a tremendous success in PP, like Mayhew, Menell , Anas, Rau.

Actually , Iowa Wild team extended their winning streak to 4 games , IMO, because of their recent superb performance in PP.

Thanks for writing your preview. It is always giving me some thoughts. Sincerely, my entire life I am doing a hand dish-washing under the hot running water to make sure that I washed out all food particles and dish-wash liquid out of the dishes. Than means, I am sacrificing my time; my hand skin; hot running water just to make sure my dishes are clean and safe for the next use. Hope, our team will sacrifice their time and energy to make their fans happy and do not  make thinking that they(fans) sacrifice/ waste the time on watching the club's game.

Yeah, practice what doesn't work, that way they will be really good at running a pp that doesn't work.

If you don't succeed, practice and try the same thing that doesn't work.

The only problem with your suggestion is that the Wild are limited to 23 men on the NHL roster. They can’t bring up any of those guys without moving a current player or putting a current player on IR.

Well it looks like I can add faulty internet to my leaky dishwasher. 

[wildstars95]

Well I’ve sacrificed a dishwasher and have suspect internet (all of our devices including LIG’s Chromebook and my work Mac which is connected via ethernet). I think I’ve done my part.

yeah you sure have

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Stalock doing Stalock things.... went all the way out to play that puck...and nearly turned it over with him almost to the blue line

[bbgarnett]

Geez Dumba can't hit the broad side of a barn anymore

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Talbot DOES produce the rebounds.
Wild need to just keep peppering him. Eventually there will be one he can't corral or his defense can't clear for him.

Almost got one... great pressure by the Wild, but Mr. Post thwarts Minnesota.
