Just finished watching the game. What can I say.. it was a good game, it was a great away game. Koivu's line was on fire, Zukcer and Nino were amazing, Parise did his job, but Pominville has been really invisible. Granlund had a couple of gems but overall something between Parise and Poms. The team just couldn't score tonight, no matter what.
They played against a desperate team, and tonight that other team had all the puck luck. All the luck they have been missing since the season started. Their bit shaky goalie could stop almost all the pucks. Some day a team like Ducks just have to pull it off, tonight they did. If you have swapped goalies tonight, it would've been a massacre, or something. Dubnyk was shaky and unlucky. Khudobin was shaky at first but very lucky. Ducks got away with some amount of interference too. Nothing special there, that's their game. Been like that for a while.
I don't know.. so far when the Wild don't play their best game, they'll win in the end. When they do, they'll lose. Hopefully they're not starting to think like that, because that's when the downwards spirals happen. Poor confidence, bad habits, bad decisions, no team play.
But instead if they keep going on like this, no problems. This was just a bad result.
