The Wild still have themselves to blame though for their slow start. Starting out 2 goals down isn't the way to win games.

Rangers played well in the 1st, Wild caught up (despite lots of PKs), then the Rangers got a timely goal.

Okay, my voice is shot and someone needs to slap Pominville in the ****ing face and make him spend the next week doing nothing but practicing one-timers.
It's bad enough to watch him wiff on the PP, but for ****'s sake, if we've ever needed him to NOT **** about, it was right then.

They're sharper on the road and squeak by at home. Coming out flat on home ice is common for them. If they do that **** with home ice advantage and lose one or both games, they go on the road in a big hole. Start the series on the road and if you blow both games or steal one or both, you still have a chance.
Honestly, I don't trust them at home. People can blame officiating tonight all they want, but the Wild are mostly to blame. They came out poorly falling behind early. And with the exception of Vanek's penalty, the others called on the Wild were legit.

Maybe watch a replay before going on rants?
It was tipped by a NYR glove. Nothing really Pommer can do with that.
Wasn't a replay on GCL -- cut to "This game has ended" before it played anything. Also, no.
well what do you want? every game there's the possibility of questionable calls. We came out slow and out of sync like pretty much everyone including Yeo suspected we might, and it's against one of the best teams in the league.
Got our game going again after the run of penalties but again, it's a good team with a great goal differential and they weren't playing poorly. This isn't like losing to Edmonton.

Their minds should be right for the game on Saturday though, so lick our wounds and move on to the next one.

I was watching on GCL and clearly saw the Rangers glove that flubbed the puck before it got to Pommer. Not his fault.
Damn straight. I don't want to stretch the time out to get that magic number to zero or to back into a possible playoff berth. I want this team to get it done asap.
My "no" was to him telling me not to rant, not to the defense of Pominville.
Also, out of curiosity, do you still get commercials on GCL?

Some games I do. This game I didn't.

Man, that kid creates offense. Love it.
The Rags are going to win the cup. They impressed me tonight.

Tough game. Come back stronger Saturday. It's good to be reminded what happens when you play a great team and don't play our best. Hopefully this is taken the right way by the team and they recapture that urgency.

I think the long time off did us no favors to start. Things will be fine, hey back in the groove and play our game
Hard to be upset when we knew the 4 day layoff was going to creep rust into their game early... and then we saw that play out exactly as a lot of us knew it would.
Woke up early and just finished the game. Trying to look positives here. Rangers and Wild are few of the strongest teams after the ASB, I assume. And it was a strong away game from Rags. They knew how to play against the Wild. Nothing flashy, well disciplined, strong goaltending and scored the important goals.
A four day break, as good as it was, Wild weren't as ready as Rangers. It's natural. But those huge penalty kills, 5-4, 5-3, even 5-2 (without a stick) changed the momentum. Wild are a strong team, they may bend but they don't break. That's good news.
To score more than two against Lundqvist is a tough job. They didn't succeed tonight. But you can't win 'em all. If you lose some, this was the one.
Dumba, geez. That kid is pure gold. On the ice, off the ice. I had doubts, but not anymore. He may not be perfect defensively, but that's why we've got Suter and Brodin. What a beautiful set of defensemen we have. Vanek was good. That's why he's in the team.
I don't have any complaints. They lost, that's it. I don't want to over analyze it. Just want to watch this team and go with the flow. May the force be with them.
