Horrible officiating tonight. Minny was gifted a goal on the 5 on 3. Hellebuyck let one soft goal in. The rest were all screens, can't stop what you can't see.

Just remember the Jets got pasted 6-2 by the Hawks near the end of the season and than rattled off 5 straight W's to end the season.

The Jets usually bounce back extremely strong after bad efforts all season long.

Didn’t Minnesota not score until it was a 5 on 4?

Very soft calls both ways, but the Jets were beneficiaries early. Bad crew.

I believe this game was the great divide between these two teams. The Wild completely dominated the game without giving any chances for the Jets. If the Wild can sustain this level of play, it will be incredibly hard for the Jets to win this series.

Sure players push the limits, cross checks, stick work etc. but intentionally punching someone's knee goes way beyond just wanting to win, just plain dirty and should be suspendable, the Foligno's cheap shot was worse than Kadri's low hit!
It was absolutely dirty sip. But what I am saying is that there are a lot of dirty plays that happen that don’t result in injuries.

Maybe a good comparison would be a slight slash to the back of someone’s knee when the are about to plant their skate.

Wild seem to only play like this at home though. On the road they are awful

The only thing I can’t tell from the angle of the Myers play is if Foligno was holding his stick with two hands because if he was it would fling his right arm forward like that while falling.

Winnipeg was outdone tonight. I believe the Wild found out their weakness and will continue on unto the victory. Didn't see anything meaningful from the Jets offense and even Laine was completely absent and outplayed. Before the playoffs I said I did not believe he had the capacity to hang in games like this and I think I was right. It will take a miracle for the Jets to find a way back from this.

LOL what!?

2nd best team in the league and they've won 12 out of the last 14. They'll be just fine.

just glad we don't have to watch WPG fans brandishing brooms.
Jets still heavy favorites.
Wish Byfuglien wasn't so engaged.

Byfuglien is right where the Wild want him. Angry and making stupid decisions.

Yep, you win! Impossible to win now! Lost game three it's over. Who do you cheer for? Do you have a team or just hate?

You just watching your first game? If the Wild manage to get those 1/10 shots to go in every game, yeah they've got a chance.

The 5 on 5 game was pretty much completely dominated by the Wild. They dominated the scoring chances on even teams. Unless the Jets can solve that puzzle, they are in a world of trouble, no way around it.

Jets due for a loss, no team goes perfect in playoffs. Now they got their loss out of the way they'll be fine.

Point out a 5 minute segment in the game where Minnesota dominated. Jets offence did not accomplish anything tonight but you're delusional if you think the Wild actually had any sort of sustained pressure.

There was a 3 minute stretch near the end of the 2nd where the Wild outscored the Jets 3-0. I would think that might qualify?

Again, sustained pressure. The Wild had a stretch where every shot was finding the perfect hole to go in. Enjoy trying to replicate that.
