Excited for the day Kuemper gets shipped out of town.

He didn't have that bad a game.

Meh, that was a solid back up game against a good team. Will sure be happy when brodin grows another finger and comes back

Hardly Kuemper's fault tonight.

 

[Wabit]

Back down to a 4pt lead on the Hawks.

5p lead. We got the loser point.

 

[gphr513]

Got a point on the second night of a travelling back to back against a pretty good team with our backup goalie in net. I'll take it.

 

[Mnsportsfan22]

Up 5 with 2 games in hand. Will never complain about that

 

[Victorious Secret]

I hope people aren't taking that top 100 list as being an objective award.

 

[melinko]

Welp, we got a point.

Someone's gotta yell at Suter to make a change when he can in OT.

I think the problem was we got multiple odd-man scoring chances in a row, there was never a clear cut time to change unless you bail on one of the odd-man chances.


1pt is fine with me, we had plenty of good fortune this game.

 

[RussosBurner]

Wild need to sharpen up on defense. Almost 3-4 goals allowed in every game now days.

Completely agree. We need some practice time to sharpen the proverbial blades again. Mental lapses on defense are more and more prevalent lately.

 

[melinko]

LOL Milbury sure trying to sell the Kuemper story hard this game isn't he.

 

[Wild11MN]

Exactly. May or may not have gotten a little lucky... but to be fair, we were the better team tonight.

 

[RussosBurner]

Scandella on the ice in an OT penalty kill situation reminds me of how much we/I miss Brodin.

 

[TaLoN]

5 pts.

My bad... I just parroted what was said on KFAN, they said the Wild were at 75 and Chicago moved up to 71... clearly they didn't see that the Wild were ALREADY at 75 and thus moved to 76.

 

[It is Wild World]

Team played hard but I thought Suter was desperate to get that puck out of the zone, cuz he was tired and Staal was caught out there as well

 

[Minnesota]

I'm typically a Crawford hater, but he was stellar tonight.

He was desperate, but also pissed that Hossa got away with interfering with him. Caused him to retaliate.

 

[Wabit]

The Wild got beat by a hot goalie (and a couple of posts), and they still put up 3 goals against him. It happens.

Kemps played well tonight, but didn't have much puck luck. He made some huge saves, didn't fold after any of the goals, was out challenging all night, and not coughing up juicy rebounds all night. I'll take that game from him any night as a backup.

It felt like playoff Crawford.

I was going to say the Wild were kind of due for some bad puck luck eventually.

 

[W75]

Great game! They were totally exhausted and still found a way to grab a point. I'm not even mad because of that overtime loss. Crawford was a wall after Spurgeon's goal and Wild were out of gas. Still fought in every shift. Awesome.

 

[space321]

Can't really be TOO mad about that lost. 2nd game on a b2b, backup in net. Crawford was stellar. Our offense looked good for the whole game. Unlucky situation in OT but you can't really blame Suter since he was creating chances left and right during his shift and just got caught in a bad timing situation.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Business as usual...Crawford stands on his head and Toews dominates Koivu at the dot.

We got 1 point more than expected.

Is this what we'll be telling ourselves when they beat us in the playoffs again?

 

[Grover]

Sucks that the offsides review is what stands out the most to what otherwise was a great, entertaining hockey game

 

[DANOZ28]

we played a great game , just a couple suter mistakes cost us a W. i guess no D man is perfect. glad we atleast got a point. who's next? (i just like saying that)
