They can still do it. My vote goes to the Nutcracker, he has a lethal shot.

He may just need to wear his glasses.

Boldy tripped himself.

Powerplay NOW?

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Late game PP. Let's go boys

 

[NHL1674]

Just win the damn faceoff.

They wasted too much time trying to be pretty.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

That was a bucket of yuck. Waaaaay to many passes. Reverse jinx didn't work, sorry Kap. Love ya

 

[MK9]

F**k.

 

[The Enemy Within]

Gosh darnit.. That sucks.. Played hard.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Nobody wanted to shoot lmao

 

[NHL1674]

Sometimes less is more. Pass....pass....pass.....stop worrying about the perfect play.

 

[Minnesota]

Nuts. (sorry, Zucc)

 

[NHL1674]

You're in my doghouse, Hartman.

 

[Sweetnut]

Yikes. Too little, too late. Too many passes, just shoot the damned puck!

 

[NHL1674]

This is my concern. We are struggling greatly against the teams that matter most. It's great that they can beat the easier opponents. But they are 2-6-1 against Western playoff teams. That is one thing that has carried over from last season. The schedule gets tougher, and their PK gets weaker. Gonna be a bumpy ride.

They will need to trade for help at the deadline.

Bumpy road ahead, guys. The team has been playing above their means in the last few weeks. I'd be really happy if they can play 0,5 win percentage hockey the next few weeks. The schedule is going to be tough.

I know it looked stupid but every pass was into the feet of the receiver. Just a bunch of bad plays. They wanted the pass for a one timer and just didn't get it done. Still could have gotten off a wristshot at one point of that sequence though.

Decidedly unexciting game with not a lot of offense on either side. I really hope Wallstedt gets a few more games and can somehow settle into a rhythm which he clearly needs. Looked nervous at the start of the game but settled down later on.

I am actually surprised the team hung in there as well as they did with the patchwork lineup and shuffling wingers throughout the 60 minutes. The Golden Knights are mostly healthy so going up against them with a fully healthy wild roster and our #1 goalie should have been a much different game.

Someone earlier said it is sad we loose against the better teams and "only" get points against the weaker teams. I see it differently: the rut the Wild are in with the long injury list makes those points against the smaller teams even more important. The team is far from healthy and winning against fully healthy top teams should not be the requirement to feel good about oneself. It matters in April and beyond, right now the goal is still to punch a ticket to be able to play at that time. And for that all the points count.
