We haven’t beaten the Laffs in years. This team flat out sucks
So thats not considered a trip?
They fuckin suck
You blew it! You could have gotten 4 points this trip and you blew it!
Funny that this was supposed to be a home game.
Half this team needs to be sent down to Iowa.
God this team is garbage. Start the tank
2 points on this trip. Better than nothing. Could have been worse.
Thoroughly out play the Leafs and that’s the result. Idk man, something has to change. It might have to be Deano getting the boot.
Rip in pieces. I vote we tank.
Kappy is regressing in ways that make me concerned about that contract. There’s no excuse to keep playing him if it’s injury. Evason and Co need to fucking do something about this
If you think of the 2 points we got as 1 win and 1 loss instead of 2 losses, it’s not so bad..
Pedestrian 1v1 by Johansson.
I’m so fucking tired of seeing the Wild lose 😮💨
Really wanted that one. Fuck.
Kaprizov no show AGAIN… god damn
Swede Mafia in shambles. How frustrating must it be to see your best players have the yips, and throw away the chance to win a game in your home country.
Deano should be sweating.
The wild are 0-0-3 in games I attended…
Eh essentially the same result as winning one game, losing one. And the team is looking defensively way better than the nightmare of the last month. I can’t be that mad.
Why did we bring JoJo back again?
This Kaprisov contract is starting to look very bleak
No one wants to hear this but this team is going to be bad for the next 2-4 years. Concerning that kaprizov has fallen off so much. If he’s injured they should be resting him
I do not want to go to the game against the Aves next Friday my lord
Has Dean EVER taken accountability for the team playing bad, or does he repeat empty platitudes like “playing 60 minutes” and “play cleaner”?
I hate to say it, but I don’t see this trip as a miserable fail. Our losses could have been greater
Well the team showed some steps forward so there’s that. Two points for the Global series going 0-0-2 actually improves our win% from 0.400 to 0.438. As for the game itself two thing sting: that the Leafs scored a goal off a non existent power play and the two missed chances by Ek and Brodin? (not sure who was the second one with the puck on the 2-on-1 that lead to the Leafs OTG). But overall a decent performance despite a .840sv% (Woll had a respectable .917), I liked the discipline (a stupid penalty, a nonexistent one and nothing else), I didn’t like the PK, I didn’t like the PP. There’s a lot to improve but maybe a step in the right direction. Let’s just hope this game is a baseline for our performance and not the ceiling.
Does dean get the hook when we get back home?
u/NorthernPuck deleting all of his messages right now.
Well that was damn near exact end as last years Black Friday game
We are all Wild fans, we love them. But let’s talk real talk. The Wild power play is complete shit. It has been shit for 3+ years. Why?¹?
Should start looking into Macklin Celebrini
Improvement right?
Joel EE being so damn positive in the post game interview makes me happy anyway…
Watched the game on and off from “work.”
The Wild looked like they outplayed the Leafs for most of the game, but they didn’t win. Somehow, when it went to overtime, you just knew a Swedish Leaf player would win it. Hey, that’s a Minnesota thing letting some other bum be a hero.
What’s with the Leafers there? Is it like Manchester United, where people follow them because of the name?
Welcome surprise to see the star player Merrill score a goal. Love to see Middleton score a goal and place him only two goals behind the teams super star for the season. That was nice to see Zuccarello get a goal in front of his mom.
