  1. I am heartbroken. The Club played so well today and I’m so proud of their performance. I was really hoping they would come out with the win.

    But this is a different team than in previous weeks, mentally tougher and full of confidence. I’m so excited to see how the rest of the season goes. I’m with them to the end. LET’S GO UTAH!

  2. Didn’t get to watch most of the game. But I think our guys could have won this one from what I saw. We had a few bad minutes to go from 1-0 to 1-2, and then had chances in overtime but just didn’t get it done.

    All in all, glad we got a point off the top team in our division. But obviously would have loved to get another point in there.

    On to the next one! Still 3-1-2 in our last 6, so trending in the right direction.

    Let’s go club those wanna be yeti avalanches!

    #We are coming

  3. Coming from a newbie fan of this year – that game was a BLAST, even from my living room. I know we didn’t get the W, but there were a lot of positives, just in my opinion. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time

  4. Before the game i would have been about with 1 point. So close to a win but still a good game. 

  5. I let my 7 year old stay up to watch because that game was wild! And then he started sobbing because they lost haha

  6. I’ve watched most games, and have called myself a fan from day one.

    That loss hurt my feelings. When losses hurt, I’m officially a legit fan.

  7. The ESPN glazing of Minnesota is comical. They’re so obviously trying to build a narrative they can run on if Minnesota does well in the post season.

  8. This team is exciting but thats why the losses is pathetic because they could do better in most cases

  9. Brutal loss. The Delta Center was electric though. A roller coaster of emotions. The dopamine highs and crashes made for a night of love and heart break.
    On to the next game!

  10. As a new fan, can some please explain to me why Schmaltz and Bjugstad were chosen for the shootout? That does not fit with my expectations for who is most likely to score in a one on one.

    Edit: Also it was an absolutely hard fought game. The boys wanted that one. Heartbreaker.

  11. I’m okay with Keller and Schmaltz in the shoot out but why wasn’t Gunther? Cooley? Or McCane the 3rd option? They have been our best scores as of late. Kind of frustrating tbh. Still a fun and exciting game at Delta though.

  12. Picking up a standings point and scoring on the power play was encouraging. It’s still frustrating because I really feel like we could have had this one.

  13. As a Wild fan from Utah, overtime was the best result. But I found myself more heartbroken for Le Club than happy.
