That is one of the hardest fought game winning goals i have ever seen. Zucker created the chance, set up the passes, and scored the goal on the backdoor. Truly a great example of how much effort matters in this game. So happy with this win.

Vaneks pass to Suter was spetacular!

 

[gphr513]

Weird. Works just fine for me.

 

[Avder]

Good to know I'm not the only one having problems.

 

[Gaps]

Why keep Koivu on the bench then?

The game was tight, maybe Yeo wanted him to stay so he'd still have the option to put him out at a short notice if absolutely necessary. Russo did say he looked sick after the game, so I doubt the conspiracy theories are true.

Plus, Koivu is a captain. He may be needed to talk to a ref if something crazy happened and suter & parise wound up in the box.

Or centers started dropping like flies... etc.

Koivu wasn't benched, a certain group just really seems to wish he was.

Do you use any ad blockers?

Turned em all off. Didn't work.

Doesn't the NHL have some kind of rule regarding who can talk to them in the event all captains are unavailable?

I literally fell asleep after the first period. Nice that we pulled off the win.

Also, the shootout was a possibility... may have been too sick for a shift, but that doesn't mean he couldn't do his backhand-shelf move (or the forehand) come shootout time if need be.

im just glad we found a way to win , how bizarre spurs foot guard fell off on the 2nd philly goal. how stupid was prosser for covering the puck? i thought philly tripped kuemper at least once and no call. we were out shot but 2 points in the standings for the good guys!

Good call - That was the reason (confirmed by Russo)

 

[Jarick]

Got home around 10pm last night and my wife taped the game, so I watched it but didn't really pay attention. Wild were awful in the first. Kuemper was keeping it close. After that I kind of checked out.

Knuckle puck!!!

 

[DUMBA55]

Scandella's clapbomb was sexy

 

[Generic User]

Scandella's all

 

[rynryn]

wow that sort of looked like Coyle hit it.

I just thought it was common sense reasoning. I won't take credit for just using common sense.

Nope, the reverse angle clearly shows the puck moving the netting before Coyle gets his stick up in the vicinity.
