Early thoughts:
- Wild on their heels a bit, but nice push back
- Second line should some puck possession and cycling for a chance for the first time. I like Butch there.
- Brodin's shot was BEAUTIFUL. I mean BEAUTIFUL. Honestly, I have seen few shots from a Wild player that were so good. One-timer with lots of power and right where you want it. Very smooth.
- Scandy with a good couple shifts to start the game.
- Tarasenko scares the crap out of me. As does Perron. I was one of the original "draft Perron over Gillies" guys though.
