Minnesota 2024-2025 Affiliates Thread (Iowa Wild, Iowa Heartlanders)

8 minutes into second period - shots 24 to 9 in favor of Wild. They had another 5 on 3 and the first unit just looked bad like yesterday. Bradley Marek, the goalscorer, hit iron. Not a ton of minutes but he's been dangerous when he's out there.

Oh, forgot to mention yesterday. Shaw in lineup for Manitoba - always liked him. Such a shame he has literally no mobility after 39283 ACL tears.

Missed first couple of minutes of third. Manitoba scored a couple minutes ago - weak goal through five hole but goalie had about 4 shots all last period. Marek scores again to tie it 2-2 despite heavily outshooting Manitoba. Marek might just be a player for Iowa - one of best players on ice without getting a ton of time.

Breakdown in D zone - Lambos leaves Shaw alone in front. Manitoba scores 3-2. 4 minutes left and Manitoba goes on PP. Iowa outshooting 39-22. Manitoba likely has more legit scoring chances though.

Sammy Walker fighting?

Sammy Walker fighting?

Yea, he was sticking up for Bankier. Not familiar with the other player but they said he was a huge PIM guy in the ECHL last year. Sammy held on after taking a decent shot as they were dropping them.

That's not a thing he should be doing. He's feisty, but has only fought one other time in the past, and is a flyweight at best.
