Absolutely quit skating in the first 10 of the period...hopefully they will learn something here. The PP situ is now in their heads.

The secret to beat the Wild is now out, be physical and they wilt...

Now if that game isn't a reason to shake up the PP, I don't know what is. Should've gone up 4-0 before 20 minutes was up. Christ, guys. That was really embarrassing. Minnesota doing their best Twins vs Yankees impression against the Rangers. Different sport, chokers. Doesn't have to translate.

Koivu looks like a sloth out there.

Vanek invisible.

WAY overpaid. I'm tired of hearing about how important Koivu is. He was, back in 2009. Not any more.

Do something for 40 minutes that proves exceedingly successful. Change it unnecessarily for the last 20. Logic.

Why does this team turtle when there's almost no evidence it works and so many examples of it backfiring hilariously.

That was possibly the most pathetic period I have ever seen.

So embarrassing... 2 5 min PP and you still can't score. Don't even deserve to win if you can't score on that, let alone that God awful third period

That was absolutely crushing. Thank god we play tomorrow and can move on. Still just threw 2 points out the window, could come back and haunt us.

i do remember the team (parise, i believe) taking the blame for that last year when we would collapse and play different in the 3rd. that's players being cautious.

Pull a Herb Brooks and bag skate them.

You don't want to skate during the game. We'll skate now.

Give Yeo the key, he'll lock up.

They used puck possession to perfection in first 40 then sat back and let the Rangers take the game from them...just a terrible 3rd period.

Good news is they can come out strong tomorrow and get the monkey off their backs.

That's pretty much all I can say after one of the worst choke-jobs in franchise history.
