If you're talking about Brodin, I think it was possibly a puck (shot) that injured him...not the shove to the ice at the end of the 1st period. Could be wrong though. He started the 2nd.

If you sell it well...
"Erik, you were great. You're going to center the first line..."
"...between Parise and Pominville."
The Parise/Haula/Pommer looked decent when they tried it for a game a couple months ago. Then sent Parise up to the Staal line the next game.
I think Brodin being out hurt the d-corps tonight (duh statement). He's the one that's usually out there playing with everyone else. Today it was everyone plays with everyone. Almost wonder if they should have gone Suter/Dumba, Scandella/Spurgeon, Suter/Folin rotation. I didn't like the Spurgeon/Dumba pair at all, their defensive games don't compliment each other well.

Well, that was a ****** game. Great start, two absolutely beautiful goals. They had possession and scoring chances. Maybe tried to be too cute few times. Then mistakes, bounces, too easy goals, Brodin hurt.. the 3rd was lifeless. Ok, Haula scored, but still. Crowd went silent, the game felt and looked terrible.
Nino and Spurgeon were really good. Coyle is missing in action, Haula had that goal but I don't know. Is he out of shape still? Half-assing? Looks lost in the offensive end. He's a black haul between Nino and whoever. He's not the human missile, fierce back-checker and timely scorer he used to be.
E: Yes please, give Staal to Nino and Coyle. Let Parise and Haula keep losing the pucks together. They're still decent defensively. Even Pommer has been quite lively recently. Those guys will be fine as a shutout and dump and (maybe even) chase line.

I'm with you on this one. I don't think you ever should boo your own team, i would never do it. Sure, I understand you can be disappointed when your team plays like **** but maybe it's better to cheer them on then.
And people say you should get value for your money? When you bought that ticket you knew damn well that the game can go in any direction. It's not a rigged Italian soccer game where you know the outcome. It's hockey, and hockey fans should stand on their teams side even in bad times.
I don't know what it is with all this damn booing all the time. Boo the other team. Boo the ref. Boo when it's penalty shot. Boo that player who switched team 10 years ago. Heck, why not boo my own team, it's so much fun... It's ridiculous.

To be fair, with tickets costing as much as they do here**, fans do at least deserve a team that comes out with some life. That 3rd period was brutal. Shades of Mike Yeo.
**For a lot of games, it would actually be cheaper for me to fly to a different city and cheer for the Wild there.

i would only boo my team if i thought they showed no effort. we blew a 2G lead to a bottom fisher team thanks to our #1 goalie having an off night. if we lose again to the phx i'll have a meltdown.

The way they finished that game AFTER already blowing the lead... they played with a lot of stupidity... even BB commented how dumb the team played down the stretch. The Fans recognized it and let the team have it.
No problem with that.
I expect no less of educated pro sports fans in the US. At the heart of everything these athletes are paid entertainers. If the performance isn't good they should hear that from the people that paid money to attend. I really do feel bad for the fans when it might be the only game they see in-person all year.
I'll mindless cheer at my daughters U10 team, no matter the score, or how they are playing. Just focus on the positives for the kids. Same as I'll clap for whatever halfway decent bar band I happen to see.
