A pint of dark matter, please.
I couldn't watch the televised game, had to listen to 1290. Was Myers able to walk down the tunnel on his own power, or was he hobbled?

Translated:
Myers had a goal in the game. Then he got hurt.

We weren't that sharp and got awful goaltending. That's a recipe to lose most nights.
I expect both the team and Helle to be much better tomorrow as the team has responded well to off games.
We weren't going to go 16 and 0. I still think the travel shenanigans had a greater impact then people on here willing to admit but what is done is done and they need to regroup for tomorrow.

Minny is also a great home team so it is no wonder they are going to lay down the hurt if you give them a chance. However, they are the ones that have to steal a road-game. We are only in trouble if we lose at home and judging by the first two games I think we will be just fine.
That said, it would be nice to win the next one just to demonstrate we are no joke away from home either.

Helle had a rare terrible game. The result felt like the late season penultimate Chicago tilt wherein they hosed us by the same score. What is is with these short flights?

Lol short flight followed by a diversion to another airport where they prob sat on the plane for an hour then in airport chairs for a few more before reboarding the plane and heading back. In other words it was an all day affair. Did they even get their morning skate in?
Stuff like that can really F'up your performance. I think all you have to do is look to the faceoff stats and goal tending for that. The two areas where focus and mental concentration are key, and we were way off.
I guess a positive note is that the JoMo - Trouba pairing continues to crush their matchups. Morrissey over a 70% CF. The Wild where able to take advantage of the matchups tonight and where able to get their big guys away from them at times and we paid for it.
Myers and Chariot at e a decent enoigh pairing when we can get them out there against soft opposition but they get exposed when we can't control the matchup.

Certainly looked like the travel fiasco threw Helle off. Goalies are such creatures of habit, totally routine oriented.
I've been trying to say this. It wasn't just an hour plane trip on game day it was a whole wasted day in planes and the airport the day before.
As someone who has traveled a lot and spent a lot of time in airports wondering if I would get on a plane or get to my destination I can say that I have found fewer things as mentally exhausting and stressful as it.
They played like a team that wasn't sharp mentally and I can't say that I'm surprised.

It was pretty clear the Wild were desperate and the Jets couldn't match their energy, even with that, the game was there to be won until they scored 3 goals in like 5 minutes on fairly innocent plays.
Jets have answered the bell every time this year and I expect them to be much better tomorrow.
Really need Myers to be okay, our defense is starting to get banged up.

If the Jets score on one of those early PP's it probably changes the game somewhat . To me Helly only really let in one bad goal , the short side one on his stick side . His own guys were screening him like crazy last night . We also have to get people in front of their net , that didn't happen all game . Hope the Jets are pissed now and really take it to the Wild for the rest of this series .

My respect goes out to those who ventured through the weather to see that game. From the anthem I heard many Winnipeggers shout "True North!" Hopefully this would be the only Wild win from here on in!
Lots of people have said it but that commentating last night was bad . Are Galley and Rom that simple minded that they get so wrapped up in the home team cheering that they cheer for them too ? 
Many goals Helle had no chance but he didn't exactly make many game savers either when the Jets would've needed those. The Jets weren't at their best clearly, but also shouldn't be surprised to see Wild finally show up to play at home. They were the 2nd best team in the league at home, after Jets. It's not a bad team, Laine is the only player in the series who scored more goals than Staal last season, then they have a Koivu as 2nd C, this is a player who's been regularly in the Selke talks the last few seasons. Granlund seems always great in important games and never gives up and Parise looks back to his old self. Also their bottom-6 was way more effective at home.
IMO it comes down to ultimately the Jets top-6 being more offensively dangerous and having more depth bottom-6. Wild lost some important pieces in the expansion draft which really hurt their bottom-6, while Jets have players like Little, Armia, Lowry & Copp. If both teams get good goaltending, the Jets should prevail. Winning game 4 would be huge.
To be honest I kinda like the Wild showing up and making it a series. Not that I would've minded a clean sweep but it's a good wake up call to the Jets and also lets them figure out how to bounce back after a playoff loss. What I didn't like was breaking down after the 4-2 goal and suddenly it was 6-2, then to me it seemed they kinda gave up and there wasn't any serious push in the 3rd period. But then again, while you should always try to win up to the last second in the playoffs, with their travel mess and everything, maybe they just knew in their hearts coming into the 3rd that this is a game they have no chance of stealing. Could be wise to just take it relatively easy and play a sensible game, but can't afford any more of that. Game 4 they need to be ready from the beginning and give it their all to the very end.

What was the anthem singer doing when he put him hand to his ear like he wanted to hear the TRUE NORTH loud ? Kind of weird unless he is a Winnipegger .
He knew it was coming anyway. Performers like to perform.

Yeah, I get getting pucks to the net but some of the muffins they are sending right at Dubnyk's chest aren't exactly testing him. They need to make it a little tougher on him.

One sec, i’ll roll over here and ask PoMo...
...oh wait, he doesn’t live with me! Sorry, can’t help you there.
So he’s day to day with an LBI?

I don't think there's been any specific info yet at all really. It looked to me just based on how he walked down the tunnel that it isn't real serious though. He was definitely putting weight on it at least...
Jumped off a bridge after the game.....river still frozen. Bad day all around
