The score wasn't 89-79 so it was boring.

Lolz.

He's passing the eye test now, too. He looks dialed in.

Yes.
Kuemper looked good last time, also. He's just cursed.

With the exception of the third period I felt like the game was pretty sloppy tbh

I think scramble would describe it. I was impressed by how the Leafs are playing.

A classic mild snoozefest. I'd rather watch paint dry at this point, but we got the W.

Kuemper was amazing in that Dallas game... too bad the guys in front were anything but.

I see it was a low scoring win tonight... how'd they look?

Both teams put up nearly 30 shots, it was pretty back and forth. Don't know why everyone thinks a game has to be 4-3 to be exciting.

Hell, I'd rather this team win a 1-0 game than a 4-3 or 5-4 game, it fits our style and we play our best in these types of games.

That's called Toronto clogging up the neutral zone.

Maybe Wild just aren't very good? They are letting the Leafs take it to them.

You know they have beaten Dallas twice right?

Pretty back and forth, I'd say our D did a good job of containing shots and a lot seemed to come from the perimeter. Probably 4-5 very good scoring chances for the Leafs, but Duby was great.

Toronto was playing angry after yesterday too.

Nah this game we won is more important in showing that we're not good.

Personally, I think we should just start the tank now. Only beating Toronto by one goal means we're clearly not playoff caliber.

:sarcasm:

Most likely considering they have one of the lowest scoring teams in the league... it'd be in their best interest to try to limit as much offense as possible.

Babcock had them playing well, or maybe we just sucked. Either way, pretty boring game but 2 points is 2 points I guess. Would be nice to see the Koivu line get rolling again, or for Zach to get one but oh well.

Zucker, Nino, Parise. All been really quiet lately. But two wins in a row is two wins. Good sign we can get wins without these guys scoring.

Considering the 1-4-2 stretch prior to those two wins... these were both big!

I think that means their due hopefully.

A streak, a streak!

How about when you have a clear shot from the blue line with an empty net, you take the shot instead of a pass Mikko. Some day that is going to hurt us when we fail to score and the team rushes on back the other way to score.

Remember that Av's playoff game? The shot on the empty net hit the goal post (it was meant to be a zone clear more than anything, not a result of passing up a glorious chance to score like Mikko tonight), Avs rush back the other way and score, and go on to win in overtime. Please just be selfish Wild players, and score when you get the chance FFS!

Agreed. Overpassing and little puck possession is the epitome of the 2015 Wild. Just brutal hockey thus far, I don't know how we're over .500.

Scoring 1 freaking goal against the Leafs, that's not good enough.

StealthClobber · Dec 4, 2015

1-0 win eh? I see my pic in the OP worked out nicely.

After going 1-4-2, a win's a win right now. We won on Tuesday and we won tonight, we're 2-0 in December. They've got a very good chance of continuing to win with their next 3 games being Avs, Avs, Yotes. They keep playing their defensive-structured game, they should be able to turn this thing on, especially if Parise and the Mikko line get going.

2 points, however, is good enough.

LOL

A win's a win and that's all I care about. We were mildly slumping and here we go, stringing a couple of wins together.

I couldn't care less if it was "boring" without a ton of goals or whatever. Any hockey diehard knows what matters is the final score at the end.

In the immortal words of Dominic Toretto... "It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning's winning."

Context: They were playing a team with with four 4th lines, a trap, one defenseman, a decent goaltender and they still almost lost .
