Will accept caffeine.
So, half of the board is imploding, and the other half are sitting on their high horses. Business as usual after a loss.
Still, that was one twisted game reffing-wise. Anyone with a set of eyes who knows the rules can tell that the Wild got screwed Bret Hart-like tonight.
A clean loss is part of the game. You can't go 82-0 after all. But this was nowhere near a clean one. I guess part of the Ducks success is that they get used to playing on that slush they call "ice".

Let's all learn a lesson from Harding and kick the wall in frustration!
Already did... but my foot didn't break... Apparently I'm not doing it right?

The Wild scored a grand total of 1 goal tonight, a goal that Ballard actually had an assist on. The Power Play(which Ballard is not a part of) finished the night minus 1.
Keith Ballard is not a very good player, but anybody who comes away from that game thinking that he was the major problem, has no idea what they are watching.

Yeah, Pommer had a rough night, unfortunately.
I just get the feeling that Vanek is gonna go on a tear when he pots his first one.
Few snakebitten players right now. I still think Fontaine on that 2nd line is a big ass mistake. Put Zucker up there where he should be.
Meh, it's just one game. Sucks that I'm having to block a lot of people on Twitter this morning for whining this early into the season.
If it comes on Sunday it would just make me damn happy right now. We have no secondary scoring right now... of the 9 goals scored so far...how many have come from some aspect of the top line? It was the whole issue last year. Outside the top line, no one else can score.
Kinda agree. Ballard wasn't the difference maker. Even if he sat, we probably would have lost. I'm gonna give a lot of blame to the PP which has been nonexistent so far. There were other mistakes tonight in both ends, but if you don't have a slightly successful PP, you have next to nothing. You need to take advantage of those situations. Even if Vanek or Pom had cashed in on their chances 5 on 5 tonight, that PP is still a concern.
Today was easily the best the 2nd line has looked... and that was with Fontaine replacing Zucker there.

I actually agree. Ballard does something to the other players on the ice that just ruins execution and confidence. Maybe I'm going crazy.

Don't think he's bad news, he just has one good aspect: hip checking. Outside that, I'm not a fan of his game at all....and wasn't when he was signed. He was a desperate signing after Gilbert was bought out. Simple as that. Can't get rid of him fast enough for that specific reason. Having him paired with a rookie who is already known for questionable play doesn't help matters any.

He was replacing Cooke, Zucker only had a few shifts, one of which he scored a goal.
