GDT: 02/01/17 - Wild @ Calgary - 9 PM CT / 5 AM Finland - FS-N

Just as long as the team gets it back in gear in the next game, no worries.

I'm sure I'll get eye rolls from a lot of you but if someone dropped the gloves in the first this game could have been very different

 

[NHL1674]

Coyle shouldn't even be out there.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Haven't had one of these in a while. Suppose we were overdue.

 

[Wabit]

Flames are a bad match up for the Wild. Big and physical and aggressive forecheck. They scare me almost as much as LA from the Pacific.

Doesn't scare me the slightest. Edmonton for example is potentially worse match-up for Wild and i'm not scared of them either.

 

[W75]

Glad they beat Oilers, this loss isn't that bad.

 

[57special]

Go back down to the AHL, Reilly.

Wild trying their best to cost Dubs the Vezina

 

[TaLoN]

I think the Wild just want out of the arena and onto the plane to BC.

 

[NHL1674]

This is why you expose Dumba/Scandy and protect Brodin every day of the week.

 

[It is Wild World]

**** happens. Learn from it and move on.

 

[TaLoN]

Brodin wasn't going to change this outcome... sorry.

Looking back two weeks, the Wild have done pretty well without Brodin.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Meh. Two deflect goals and a special teams failure.

Gonna happen sometimes.

 

[57special]

I thought Scandella played OK. There is a lot of forwards who used to pay well MIA.

If Coyle ISN'T hurting then he ought to be ashamed of himself. Playing like crap the past few games.

 

[Wild11MN]

Not too upset, though getting swept by Calgary is upsetting..

Only the third loss all year by more than one goal, discounting empty netters. Just think about that.

 

[NHL1674]

Losing sucks. Don't know how Avs' fans can deal with this every night.

Losing sucks, sure... but when you win as often as the Wild do... a loss here and there doesn't feel nearly as bad.

As long as the Wild get their game back in gear on Saturday, this will be forgotten rather quickly.

 

[Wabit]

Doubt Brodin changes the outcome of a loss. Wild got hit early and crumpled, hit on Staal is where the game changed.

But have they really done well? Wins are there, but so are a lot of blown leads. PK hasn't looked good. Oh well, neither here nor there. Can't do an alternate dimension and see if things go different if he wasn't hurt.

Wild laid an egg, it happens. 2nd game of a back-to-back against a team on 6 days rest. Flames have the Wild's number this year.

Can we just blame Yeo? Wild heard he was a head coach and thought he was back...

 

[Ice Garden]

Still no regrets for staying up for this one. Hopefully they make adjustments for the rest of the road trip.

For the record... the Blown leads were there before Brodin left, and have stopped after he left... I don't think his presence or lack there of had all that much influence on either the start or stopping of it.

Woohooo! Can't wait to see what Tuch can bring!

[TaLoN]

The blown lead thing started in January after the December run, while Brodin was still healthy. It ended just recently at the end of January. I don't think Brodin was the cause or the prevention of it at all. The play across the board or other circumstances were the cause - ie - Nashville - Koivu last second scratch, one of the games had that BS 5 on 3 situation after not one but TWO Wild players were fouled without calls....
