Didn't think I was going to be able to stay up for the whole thing but ended up watching it all. Entertaining game. We certainly took advantage of those chances we had, would have been a nice bonus to hold on for the full two points. Fleury looked absolutely terrible for a bit there.
Vegas really turned on the jets with 10 minutes left. Wild are going to be playing so many games that they are going to run out of gas in some of these. I feel like they need to shuffle some of these players to get them some rest because none is coming in terms of off days.
Pretty ridiculous that they didn't get awarded a single PP. There didn't seem to be anything extremely egregious, but Foligno's stick was chopped out of his hands and that's called every time. We wouldn't have scored on the PP anyways
I've been so impressed with how Eriksson Ek has been playing. I feel like his skating an puck possession are on a different level this year. Fiala is probably back to being a bit frustrated again, he has had some prime chances that he's missed.
I think I commented earlier in the game that every time Parise has the puck or when he has to make a decision he either takes a second too long to do it or makes the wrong call. He's negatively impacting the team in almost every facet right now. It would be one thing if he was adding goals on the PP but obviously that hasn't happened. What an embarrassing shift and decision at the end of the game. How does he not get off the ice when the puck goes to the other end? He's clearly thinking about getting the puck and scoring an EN goal...which sure if that happens we don't talk about it but it didn't. I know you don't have 20 players but it's also on the coach that he's even on the ice with <3 minutes left or whatever too. What the hell.
Oh well. Good game! Hockey is fun. This team continues to score ES goals at a crazy rate. Reverse Retro sweaters again tomorrow night
