GDT: GAME #71 | CAPS @ WILD | 7PM CT, 2AM FIN | Insert CAPS LOCK joke here

[00xtremeninja]

Lol, nobody expected us to go undefeated the rest of the way.

Rebound, play big saturday

 

[elnewby]

It's like teams have a license to mug Vanek at all times. I've never seen a guy get roughed up so much and never draw a penalty.

 

[BusQuets]

Oh well can't win them all. Would have liked to see Granlund there instead of number of players in the end.

 

[Puhis]

Got screwed by the refs, more than once. We worked hard for our deuce, they got them relatively easy, off quick rushes (or a faceoff). Nevertheless, this should've been at least one point, objectively.

Unfortunately, as unreasonable as that is, the teams behind us pretty much are. St. Louis is actively ******** the bed against Winnipeg.

The Wild needs to stop competing with Calgary for this comeback title nonsense and just play hard early and play with a damn lead.

 

[WILDTATE10]

Man Brodin took a ****** stupid shot there at the end with a guy right in front of him when we were pressuring hard

 

[TheeNorthStar]

Dammit... great effort in the end there. I hate Ovi man. I dislike the caps in general..

The teams behind us will drop a few too, it'll happen. Not gonna sweat this one too much. The guys know Saturday is a big game.

We played well but didn't bury our chances

 

[Blizzard6411]

**** off wild

oh ffs! Over react much?

 

[gphr513]

Bummer.

Well, time to start a new winning streak.

 

[00xtremeninja]

Peg gets the bonus pt in the shootout. The final 10 games gonna be nuts

 

[The Enemy Within]

Had a really great effort trying for the tyin goal late.. Just couldnt' get it to go in. We've rebounded after each one of these losses. Hopefully we can do it again.

 

[123TripleDoge]

home of the home ice advantage

 

[gphr513]

We haven't lost consecutive games since January 20th. And even in that one, we still got a point.

Keep that trend up and we'll be just fine.

Problem is... we HAVE to do it again. They have no choice when you look at the standings.

 

[Bullrun]

Winnipeg has played in 23 OT games vs. Wild's 14...

this is as close as it is because of those consecutive regulation losses. Winnipeg has found a way to bring 1/3rd of their games to OT (where they are under .500).

 

[NHL1674]

Home of the home ice advantage? It's frustrating, because it's almost like they come home and think, "We don't have to try as hard." Losing to the Caps and Ducks is understandable, but those losses to the Avs and Oilers during this turnaround sucks.

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

That's three home games I've gone to in a row now where we've lost, and all post-Dubnyk trade. Guess I should stop going, I seem to be a bad luck charm.

 

[Minnesota]

How did Schmidt look?

 

[rynryn]

a lot fewer toaster in the bathtub posts than i expected. are you growing up, HFWild?

I am not saying we played great hockey or the Caps played poorly, but...like Patty Kane, a game-breaker made the difference.

So what.

We have a good, deep roster and as long as we're playing hard, we can hang with just about any team.

**** Kane and **** Ovie.

We did this to ourselves by not playing as well as we should have in the first period and a half.

We've been lazy on our own ice and they need to stop doing that.

yeah, any time any team loses it's because they didn't play as well as they should have.

 

[Sharppi]

Well, gonna lose games if you do defensive mistakes like that against a team with gamebreakers. This team really could use one

 

[Hockeycast]

Bergy's ice time was 5:36, was he benched?

 

[BusQuets]

Bergy's ice time was 5:36, was he benched?

Had about as much even strength TOI as Haula. Bergy doesn't play pp or pk so his toi seems really low if there are many penalties. Haula had 6 minutes pk time.
