That was pathetic, absolutely idiotic that we don't put a shooter on the point and then force feed Suter point shots.

Well I just spent the last 15 seconds of the game screaming "SHOOT IT YOU FOOLS!" at the TV.

10 seconds to go and you've got a viable shot at the net and you PASS?

**** off.

They completely blew it by passing the damn puck too many damn times during the last scrum. You have seconds left...shoot and go for the rebound, ya hosers!

"'Shoot?' Clearly they just mispronounced 'pass.'"

This team sometimes. Holy ****.

Suter on the back end because who the **** else is going to keep the puck in.

Finnish centers 1 and 2 have got to learn to freaking shoot already. This isn't just a Koivu problem....it's a Granlund one too.

It should have been Spurgeon instead of Suter there. Koivu winning all those faceoffs went for nothing..

So mad at the Wild and all their pass-first ********. There were at least 3 solid chances for someone 10 feet or less from the goal to get a really good shot in and they all ended up passing.

I was on the Vrbata train before we signed Vanek but damn would that have been better.. Our supposed goalscorer could actually shoot. Vanek has pretty much the worst shot on our team..

Spurgeon, Scandella, <insert non-Pominville forward here>.

At this point I'd settle for Dumba or Ballard even.

Suter has to get off the damn powerplay. He adds nothing to it and subtracts from it by not having a respectable shot or a shooters mentality.

I hope Russo finally starts to ask Yeo about what's going on there.

True. What's pathetic is that 90% of the team doesn't have a shooters mentality. This got old a good 4 years ago.

Guy averages like 6 goals a year and Yeo has him as a focal point of our PP.

Yeo just puts all the top point producers out there and ignores what people are good at. The Les Frazier of hockey.

They need to start doing drills that build shooters mentalities. Limit the number of passes allowed in the offensive zone in practice or something so people get used to actually releasing the puck at the net.

SOMETHING.

Pretty well played road game. Didn't convert and lost to a very good team and goalie. Not a whole lot of anger from me after this one.
