GDT: 5 Mar 2013 - Wild @ Chicago - Great Moments Are Born From Great Opportunities - 7:30

[Piffles]

Yeah, I didn't see since I was at work but how has Backs played? I would assume he was a bit off but I'm also assuming that the defense didn't give him a ton of help either. Pretty sure Backs always plays poorly in Chicago if I recall right.

it wasn't just Backs and the Defense. you don't get outshot 17-4 and completely blame them...no team D at all. a lot of standing around.

Being a sports' fan has its good days and bad days. This is a BAD day!

 

[Kaptain]

They were equally at fault I'd say, the defense was bad but Backs could have at least bailed them out once or twice.

He bailed them out at least once or twice. Just couldn't do it three or four times.

 

[Fel 96]

Empty net.

 

[llamapalooza]

Here comes the bonus goal.

I'm gonna be pissed if Yeo comes out saying he's happy with the way they responded in the third and yada yada yada. Gotta be honest in assessing that the first-period meltdown was unacceptable and negates anything else.

 

[Mumbler*]

Gilbert missed the puck. Fire Yeo. System problem.

 

[Kaptain]

Icing with an empty net....

 

[Northland Wild Man]

Icing with an empty net

 

[GORGO]

Just goes to show ya how far this team really has to go... The Hawks are just plainyin' Cat and Mouse with our boy's fella's... The ole' Tom and Jerry.... Sad that Mikko and Zach were non existent most of the night..Were we not all led to believe that was all suppose to change in The Big games?.. Wow we were fooled again..

 

[NHL1674]

Still ticked though that Backs wasn't pulled after the 3rd goal. All were not his fault, but you still pull him after the team went into a tail spin.

 

[Wildfan10*]

What's the point of pulling the goalie if no one moves their feet.

 

[Kaptain]

Agreed. He wasn't atrocious, but it clearly wasn't his night, and he was clearly rattled. Gotta pull him.

 

[State of Hockey]

After tonight, Parise will have 6 points in his last 17 games.

 

[llamapalooza]

HOW DO YOU GET CALLED FOR ICING WITH THE GOALIE PULLED?!

HOW?!

AND NOW YOU CALL THE ****ING TIMEOUT?!

NOW?!

NOT WHEN THE TEAM GAVE UP TWO GOALS IN AS MANY MINUTES? OR THREE GOALS IN FIVE MINUTES? OR FOUR GOALS IN SIX MINUTES?

BUT ****ING NOW?!

Jesus christ I have no words.

 

[Fel 96]

2-0 Sharks in VAN btw.

I agree, even Joe Webb looks good in garbage time.

 

[NHLPodium]

Being a minnesota sports' fan is all bad days.

Fixed that for you.

 

[WildisLaw]

Parise had a wraparound chance like 10 seconds into 3rd period, that wasn't his first shot

 

[NHL1674]

What's the point of pulling the goalie if no one moves their feet.

It may not be the goalie's fault, but you pull him to send a message and provide a spark since you can't pull anyone else. The team didn't exactly move their feet during the 2nd either, but Kemp (or the act of putting him in) stopped the bleeding.

 

[rynryn]

meh. not mad.

 

[Fel 96]

Good thing I didn't go all in.

 

[llamapalooza]

Fixed that for you.

Bad days are the norm. It's the good ones that are remarkable enough to be worth talking about.

 

[Avder]

Welp, that game sucked.

 

[GopherState]

Minnesota 3
CHICAGO 5
FINAL

Party...not stopped!
