  11. I’ve been sick the past few days but knew I needed to watch this one. Why did they have to make my heart race so fast tonight?!

  13. Fleury’s setup was so fucking sexy tonight. The pads, helmet, **ALL OF IT**. The performance. Schhhhwing!

  21. LFG!! GIANT win on Hockey Day!! Going to be a long 8 days without the Wild!! Hope the guys that are playing with some nagging issues get fully healthy and we come out guns blazin’ in the 2nd half!!

  22. i love this team <3 they’re so fun to watch especially when they’re playing well

  24. **I WASN’T ABLE TO COMMENT BUT I WATCHED AND I HAVENT HAD THIS MUCH FUN SINCE LAST HOCKEY DAY MINNESOTA**

  26. Best feeling in hockey: winning in a shootout

    Worst feeling in hockey: losing in a shootout

    Dramatic wins give me more happiness. Let’s go!

  27. there should be an award for the best defensive defenseman in the nhl and it should be named after jared spurgeon and he should win it every year

  30. Immaculate vibes going into the all star break!

    One of the best shoot out wins ever!

    Guerin get us some more goals!

  32. Freddy legitimately has some of the slickest hands in the league. Goes under the radar a lot, mostly on small plays winning puck battles or finding passing lanes, but man when he’s got space and time you can really see it.

  35. Sabres fan coming in peace. GG, Fluery is still the best goalie in the league IMHO and I miss foligno soooo much. That was a great game to watch, ‘grats on the win!

    P.S. those Northstar throwbacks are so slick, especially paired with fluery’s pads and helmet!

  36. Wes Walz got a little wobbly-jawed while talking about how much the game of hockey means to him and that warms my heart 💚❤️

  42. Another exceptional and exciting game! Love seeing Flower play so well now 3 games in a row!

  43. Those shootout goals though. And Fleury with the fake deke. Tage thompsons goal was dope though.
