FSN just said 16 goals all year between the teams last year in 4 games.
11 tonight if there's an OT goal.

My sense of time might be off but I remember some high scoring games vs Nashville. Might have been back in the Gaborik years though.

I think we already got the moral victory by tying it with an empty net, so we can sop trying now.
Like that.
All I know is we need every damn point we can get.
And crap, one point is all we get.

Koivu doesn't try hard enough to get OT goals.
15 points were handed out to Minnesota players tonight. He had 1.
Grats on the jinx btw.

You guys are way too negative Nancy, it's Dec. We'll be fine! We may sneak in as a 6-8 but we'll surprise. Not worried. GO WILD!

Summary
1. The guys made swiss cheese out of Pekka freaking Rinne, but they still lost.
2. Yeo pulled Kuemper before things completely fell apart -> still gave up six goals.

That doesn't happen often. Still to me its mainly a goaltender problem over anything else. We have been scoring enough goals for the most part

Hmmm seems like the exact same play that ended the game against Boston.
Scandella should have cross checked his guy in the back of the head when the around the net play was coming so he could defend properly. He didn't do what he needed to do to get out and stop the play from happening and it cost the Wild the game.
If Yeo wants to keep his job Kuemper sits from now on. He's had his chance and has flat out blown it. I'd say send him to Iowa, but well we all know we can't do that. The team IMO must go after a big name FA goaltender this offseason because this is the problem that's holding the Wild back.
The team looked every bit as good as Nashville tonight, and if they didn't have a sieve in net to begin with the Wild probably win by 2 goals. We should be right up there at the top of the West, but this crappy goaltending is holding us back. We'll miss the playoffs at the rate we're going now.
There was some positives tonight. Matt Cooke played well. He plays the game the right way. Yes I actually said that. Another thing I noticed was that Yeo actually realized Rinne is the real reason Nashville wins games this year, and planned the game accordingly. He had guys in his face and on top of him all night. IMO this cost him a few goals tonight as the Wild got into his head.

Pominville(AKA Mr. Softie) was the guy who was beaten along the boards and let his man walk out in front of the net. Spurgeon should've been quicker to help- he's been making mistakes lately- but Pominville has got to account for his man in a 4 on 4 situation.
So Darcy has been pulled 4 of the last 5 home games. How many times total has he been pulled this season and been given the chance to bounce back but can't do it? He is so rattled, it's painful to watch now.
Yeo's rant at practice didn't help anything, Parise saying it's time to stop losing didn't help, Cooke coming back didn't help (Although he looked good). I'm probably over reacting in December but maybe this team just isn't that good.

Backstrom allowed some goals, but you have to look at the ones he allowed vs. the ones Kemps allowed. It should be Backy's net for a while. I wanted him gone this past summer and ragged on him so many times, but he's the best guy we have right now in that net. Way more confident than the other crease monkey. I feel better with him in net, and you can't tell me the team doesn't feel better too. Starting Kuemper (especially at home) is nearly a guarantee that we're gonna fall behind the eight ball. Enough of forcing him to play out of his slump, Yeo.
