GDT: G55: Canucks @ Wild - 1:00pm CT

Give it a rest. It's starting to sound ridiculous at this point, and I believe most people would agree to that.

He was never gonna win the Calder. Not with Bedard in the mix.

I feel like he has a chance. But he needed to keep pace. He was generating offense but man his defense was a little weak

 

[AKL]

I still think Kaprizov-Ek-Boldy has shades of Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak. I'd put them up against any other line in the league right now and feel like we have the better chance.

He really doesn't. Even if he got 3 points tonight, he still wouldn't. Not with Bettman's new golden child.

Kinda surprised how fast they sparked. Another fun reason to watch in what has been a low season.

I turned this off after 1 because I needed to get work done and it looked like a lost cause. Two touchdowns and a field goal? 3 hat tricks in one game? Two 6 point nights (days)? The Wild need to play more afternoon games!

Bedard indeed is Bettman's golden child, but any commissioner would be the same - you are thrilled to have such a player. I don't see Brock winning Calder even if he matched CB in points (unlikely now anyway). While an assist is a point, the goal differential between them is too great to overlook. And CB is playing on honestly one of the most pathetic teams I've ever seen in NHL uniforms. I mean, look at the names on the team and see if you recognize anyone as an above-average talent. CB really is justifying his #1 pick.
I still am thrilled with Brock though.

Watching the game….
SEEMS APPROPRIATE!!!!!!

 

[Sota Popinski]

When was the last time Wild players had matching 6 point games? Gotta be a first

 

[AKL]

Any time you're the first to do something since Gretzky, you're doing alright

 

[KingPuckChoo]

you guys are the talk of the night lol what a game! good job

 

[Lapa]

Ah yes, classic seven 3rd period goals

They should do it more often.

Reading the Canucks fans having a meltdown in their GDT was about as entertaining as the game.

WILD MATINEE FEATURES THREE HAT TRICKS, MINNESOTA SCORING SIX GOALS IN 5:45
Kirill Kaprizov (3-3—6), Joel Eriksson Ek (3-3—6) and J.T. Miller (3-1—4) each had a hat trick as the Wild rallied past the Canucks in an epic game that featured 17 goals, marking the League’s highest-scoring contest this season. Monday’s thriller was also the first NHL game to feature a trio of hat tricks since Nov. 8, 1992, when Los Angeles had three (Mike Donnelly, Jari Kurri & Luc Robitaille).

* Kaprizov and Eriksson Ek became the first set of NHL teammates to each record six points in a game since Wayne Gretzky (2-4—6) and Tomas Sandstrom (0-6—6) with the Kings on Oct. 9, 1993. Kaprizov and Eriksson Ek matched the franchise record for most points in a game, achieved twice by Marian Gaborik (Oct. 26, 2002 & Dec. 20, 2007).

* The Wild established franchise records for most goals in a game (10) and period (7). They scored six of their tallies in a span of 5:45, marking the fourth fastest six goals by one team in League history.

I played goalie in a game like this one. Our other goalie didn't show up, and so they couldn't pull me, which was a real shame because I was just OFF (I put in one of the goals myself). We ended up winning 9-7. Afterword, I felt horrible about my play, and grateful to my team in front of me. It's sort of a surreal experience, letting in 7 goals and still winning. I hope Gus and Fleury are just sort of chuckling about this one, letting it fade into the rearview, and appreciating the team around them. You may never be as good as your best game, but rest assured, you're never as bad as your worst either.

Or you should watch less Wild hockey?

I detect the distinct whiff of Schadenfraude, at least as it pertains to the Canucks.

Not if I want them to get a high pick!
