Man I always heard the scouting report on Dumba: great shot, good offensive instincts, horrible defensively.

Now that I've watch him in 3 games, I'd say scouting report is spot on.

Good game by Jets, I must say. Mark "the Knife" Scheifele leading the bunch.

However they got seriously lucky with the non-call and it would have been a completely different game. Catastrophic fail by the refs.

Wild had a heck of game with Suter,Parise,Kunin out and Nino and Spurgeon not even close to 100%. I would be very confident with healthy team against this Jets team but oh well.

Eh, not terrible, but certainly not above average.

It’s a cliche to say a team plays with their backs to the wall.

Well, the Wild are now truly going to be playing with their backs to the wall.

They not only have to win a do or die game 5 in Winnipeg without Suter, but also Parise (who was their best non-Dubnyk player in game 1).

They did win a must win game 5 in a similar situation 2 years ago in Dallas, but that was with a full deck and their team was mostly healthy.

If they can get escape Winnipeg without handshakes, it’ll be one of Boudreau’s best wins.

With that said.... if this series does not end in 5, I think it goes 7.

Minnesota has a long streak of not losing consecutive home games. Winnipeg got 1 win at Xcel, but you don’t want to tempt fate.

Is what it is. Losing Parise was rough, but when his replacement spends his 7:00 minutes of ice time turning the puck over the result is predictable. Team lost the battle for the ice in front of Hellebuyck all game and was gassed by the end. Guys like Zucker needed to step up and show something, and they didn't.
