GDT: Minnesota Wild @ Edmonton Oilers | 8:30PM CST | FSN, FSWI

[MuckOG]

Why aren't FSN talking about Cal's health?

Don't ya know? They just HAVE to educate us with those on-ice instructionals!

 

[Fel 96]

Yeo time!

 

[LemaireisGOD]

My take...

I am a little surprised you guys haven't started a poll here yet on how long a suspension for Hall will / won't be. Nice rally back after another ugly 1st period. It was also good to see the other lines be a factor too! Real sad to see Clutterbuck hurt, because he had a terrific game tonight too. Huge win, I have a full game recap plus a big Houston Aeros report too! Enjoy!

Well clutter is such a dirty player so Oilers' fans would be justified in their anger.

Exactly.

What?

"yes, I finally get to use the headline i have been waiting months for" says random Wild web master

i assumed that was the NHL's splash...they're the ones into all the Puns.

and say something unfortunate happens to an edmonton player the next game...Proof he put out a hit on an oiler player!

What?

FSN is so out of touch it's crazy!

 

[Jarick]

FSN "final take" highlights did not include the Clutter hit.

Yeah.

 

[RxDangles19]

Bogus

 

[Sportsfan1]

All I know is those last 10 minutes you could tell Edmonton was feeling the heat more and more that they were going to lose again. They upped the physical play and the way to deal with another loss was to go this route and that's why Clutter might not play again this season.

I am shocked Edmonton fans can remotely justify it.

Well they still are Canadian fans, I stopped asking myself that question after seeing Canuckleheads nation justify stuff over the years.

What?

They couldn't hire a legit anchor if it walked up and bit them in the butt, good grief.

 

[Fel 96]

Taylor Hall says it was a weird play, he believes he got a good chunk of Clutterbuck with his hip or torso and didn't believe it was dirty

LMAO.

 

[Minnesota]

Hmm... Doesn't feel like we won that game.

Well... he's not just going to come out and say "Yeah, I stuck my leg out there to try to trip him up and totally caught him good!"

 

[tomgilbertfan]

Yeah I'm guessing even when Simon hit a dude in the face with a stick on purpose he didn't say it was dirty.

 

[Northland Wild Man]

Watching the play on NHL network now. That is dirty as hell.

If Hall is not suspended on the 3rd by Shanahan then he had better watch out.

Hope he lines up against Konopka and he just destroys him. The hell with the instigator penalty, don't wait for the gloves to drop, just grab him and hit him under the chin. Everyone else on the ice can just grab an opposing player and keep them out of it.

What?

did he make a notable save?

 

[SwimToTheMoon]

Is anyone else mildly concerned no Wild players went after Hall right after the hit? I understand we didn't have Konopka or KAssian in the line-up, but Brodz was on the ice and he'd be more than willing to drop them.

No, I'm not worried about it, they were more worried about Clutter than anything else. EDM is lucky that there was like no time left in the game.

Brodz tried to get near Hall, but was blocked by Oiler players. Then they tossed Hall, I am kind of glad they didn't take a run at one of their stars, really would have been senseless. That being said, Hall better be ready for physical play next time the Wild take on the Oil.

If you start a fight that late there is a big fine as well.

 

[GopherState]

He sure has, ridiculous that Melrose called him out for being a disappointment.

Even before tonight, 4 points and +2 in his last five games.

It's Barry Melrose. He said the Wild would win the Cup for goodness sake!

...oh goddamnit.

I like it.

What?

Ummm...that's at best third and closer to fifth.

did he make a notable save?

He had one early on. Problem is that Backstrom's second best save was Gagner whiffing on his breakaway.
