As easy as the 3rd period made it to forget, we were ****ing taking it to them in every zone for the first 35 minutes.
Kings haven't won a game and they're going to kick our ass. Do yourselves all a favor and don't watch the game tomorrow.
You can't be serious.

But this is something that went back to last year. Making games close in the 3rd by letting off the gas. They had a strong 40 minutes tonight, which is good. But this is the second straight game with a 3rd period let down. I know they play tomorrow night, but that doesn't mean they should stop skating and forget about being aggressive. It's a long time habit.
But I'm excited that Vanek actually has two goals this early in the season, so I won't lose sleep over it.
Every team in the league does this. And every fanbase is frustrated by it. Score Effects are not a myth.

Yup. Not even sure how conscious the "turtle" effect is because I can't believe that they would just let themselves get dominated although I believe when you have a 2 or 3 goal lead in the 3rd their can be a tendency to shift the play to the perimeter and "turtle" even if you don't really mean to.

I look at it in a positive light. I think we have MUCH better hockey in us than we've seen so far this year. And we've got 6 points in the bank.

That's for sure, well much better 3rd periods.
I'm not so sure... this is the same guy who was all "the sky is falling" just prior to the season starting because Koivu was still centering the 2nd line.
I think he totally means what he posted.
One of the 3 3rd periods the Wild has played was one of the best 3rd periods in franchise history.
I wasn't serious about tomorrow. The sky isn't falling. We all know this team is good but not great. We don't have a #1C that's common knowledge. Koivu should be on the third line and Granlund the 2nd.

Koivu is better than a 3rd liner.
This team is winning games when we aren't at the top of our game. That's a sign of a very good team. We're good.

How did Coyle only get 10 min TOI, Fontaine 7, and Porter 14 1/2? When he was on the ice, I thought Coyle was one of our best players. And I thought Fontaine was a decent PK'er?
I did think Porter was OK, but still...
On the positive side;

Suter
Scandella

No, they fixed it... Porter was showing over 20mins earlier... he officially had 14.
I think the 3rd line's icetime was killed by all the penalties... which also elevated Porter's icetime by contrast.

Did they fix it... Correctly?
Don't recall Porter being out there for nearly that long. Although that may be a good sign that he did what he needed to do.
