Foligno probably. And our defensemen. I didn't really have a problem with any of their games.

This is the exact situation where you hope your recent number 1 pick steps up and shines. Not so much.

Spurge was good. Brodin was bad. The other 4 were probably neither? Koivu had a solid game I guess.

Brodin was bad? I didn't see that. SJ had maybe 7 or 8 scoring chances the entire game. Just so happened that 4 went in.
I thought the entire D lineup played well.
Koivu, Parise and Granlund played well, but Bruce saw that line was the only threat making the team easier to defend, so he put Granlund with Zucker hoping to get Zucker out of the land of the lost... all that did was make Granlund look like he was trying to be a one man line as Zucker still remained invisible, and Fehr turned the puck over every time Granlund got it to him.

Thought the D played well. Foligno proved to me that he's a good grinding 4 th liner, and shouldn't play up the lineup. Don't know what happened to Zucker. He started out the year on fire.
Nino did good work on our Pp goal, but screwed up on one against ( as did Zucker). Getting fed up with Coyle and Nino, TBH. Greenway is going to be a handful, someday, but don't know if he'll ever be a scorer. Ek...oh boy...can you be in a slump if you never scored in the first place?
We just don't seem to have a lot of skill. The nicest pass was from old man Koivu on Dumba's goal. That's nice and all, but shouldn't someone else be picking up the torch by now( besides Granlund)? I mean, it's nice to have Dmen scoring, but shouldn't our forwards score at even strength once in a while?

well im ticked at the refs , after parise's ppg burns slashed the stick right out of JEE's hands then 30 seconds later coyle takes a stick to the mouth and no call on either. within 5 min sharks score 3rd goal and i turned off.

How can you be miffed at the refs? They only called 3 penalties in the entire game and all those went against the Sharks

JEE, Nino and Zucker cost the game... 1-3 of them were on the ice for every goal against.
Two of those goals were off of JEE turnovers, the most egregious being the one during the line change in the 3rd.
The Wild got away with some too. The normally highly praised for being impartial SJS announcers got a bit carried away in the 3rd focusing on everything that could have been a call against the Wild including some that you'll never see called in the NHL, but on some there were certainly things that could have been a Sharks PP. Refs swallowed the whistle last night, that's the way the game went. What cost the Wild the game was their poor entries resulting in multiple rush chances the other way, and way too many bad turnovers in their own zone.

And they could've easily called a couple on us (but didn't) that the Sharks could've scored on.

Bad line change + Pateryn not having situational awareness were at least equal culprits to whatever Brodin may have done (which I honestly don't remember him being involved) on the 3rd one.
On the 4th, yeah, he sort of blindly tossed the puck up to the point, but it was also right after a pretty good defensive play.

in america your entitled to believe what you want to believe (for now). i believe we had momentum until those blatant non calls frustrated the wild. yes players are only human.
