A must win. Weak opponent, and just can't lose these ones because of the tight points situation. But... the Wild was getting sloppy last game. If they haven't corrected that, we'll be in trouble.

[MNSOTA]

I hate games like these. I have a bad feeling that somehow they'll screw the pooch.

[wildstars95]

no time to mess around win by 2 goals would be nice 

[MNSOTA]

Oh goodie.....this is only Peterson's 7th start of the season. We're going to make him look like the next coming of Matin Broudeur/Patrick Roy.

[wildstars95]

maybe we could use mayhew as a empty net goal specialist just like loui eriksson from canucks 

[MNSOTA]

Oh course, Kopitar.

[wildstars95]

not good that's for sure

[wildstars95]

sloppy missing passes lethargic and now a powerless play ....let's go wild

[MNSOTA]

Did every Wild player treat the blades of their sticks with TEFLON instead of ROSIN?

[Icechipper]

Brodin skating fun to watch him change directions in a flash...

[Icechipper]

Ek working his tail off. Getting stronger....

[Icechipper]

Audrau's red dress certainly accentuates......her eyes.........

[MNSOTA]

FOLIGNO!!!!!

[wildstars95]

the league should ban the wild from powerplays

[Oregonwildfan]

That goal that made it 2 to 1 was crap. Total interference on the kings. The 3rd goal is another crap the bed moment wild style 

[wildstars95]

no no no pass on the powerplay   ...5 on 5 instead

[Oregonwildfan]

Maybe im crazy and or kinda drunk but i feel like the wild can at least the loser point outta this. They dont deserve a 2 goal lead imo.

the way this game is going i don't think they can score 2 to tie 

[Oregonwildfan]

Your probably right but for once im trying to stay positive haha. Vodka thinking here 

[Oregonwildfan]

That short handed goal seemed like crap to me. Im only getting the kings feed out here on comcast and even they initially thought that was interference on the lizard guy who got the goal.  Whatever his name is. Then they played it off. Was a massive game changer

[wildstars95]

but it was a game changer

 

[Oregonwildfan]

Lets get it done boys woo 

[Oregonwildfan]

Dork brown, gotta be kidding me, barf 

[MNSOTA]

Well that is a game I wish I had missed. In fact, I would have rather cleaned my kitchen and the fridge instead of watch this game. Anyway, here's your post-game, which was a joint-effort by LIG and I tonight.

 

Defensive letdowns prove costly to Wild in 7-3 loss to Kings
