1. Well, that was awful

2. 👎

3. I stopped watching after the second and checked to see the score was 6-1… wtf happened to make it worse?

4. I was promised hockey tonight. And whatever the fuck that was, it certainly wasn’t hockey

5. I don’t think the Wild played hockey today actually

6. Glad I had to work tonight.

7. That was shit

8. I knew it was going to be like this within the first few minutes. That capped off by an embarrassing penalty kill where they just let them completely dominate the zone. It sealed our fate.

   What the fuck is this team even doing?

9. The Wild have 99 problems but a… well they just have 99 problems.

10. Going to the game tomorrow….oh boy.

11. Yikes

12. Felt like we were watching an NHL team bully a high school team. Jesus that was ugly.

13. Mojo is trash and Zucc ain’t nothin without Kap.

14. Honestly the score is quite respectable considering Flower was the only one who showed up tonight

15. Yikes.

16. The most insane thing about this game to me is that somehow we finished it better than we started. 6-1 somehow flatters us, that first period is one of the worst periods of hockey I’ve ever seen. We never once seemed able to match the pace they had. Faber was the only dman who didn’t have an entirely terrible game, and he still didn’t have a good one lol

    Fleury deserved so much better, he was utterly amazing through 90% of this tonight and who can blame him for cracking towards the end. Feels like more and more often recently the dcorps are leaving Gus/Flower out to dry.

    I’d love to say things can only go up from here but we play arguably the fastest, most athletic team in the league tomorrow… Hooray lol

17. Fucking A, I’m glad I was headed for a redeye, and not at home watching the third. Absolutely pumped.

    This squad is in serious trouble with Ek out of the lineup.

18. Well.

    The goal of my trip was to watch Fleury play live one last time, and I got to do that. So in that sense, it was a success and I am still glad that I was able to make that happen.

    But also, god *damn* am I sick of watching them hang Fleury out to dry.

19. lol paid money and drove down to see that. Team should compensate me 🤣

    That said, the injuries showed

    Only good thing is a single old man Utah fan tried to chirp fleury and multiple other Utah fans around me told him no. You don’t chirp Flower.

20. Defense wins championships. Feel bad for 🌹. He was rightfully pissed at the end.

21. I missed the game because I have problems figuring the hell out of my pc but apparently the Wild misses it too.

22. Fleury battled. He deserved better.

23. Fuck.. I forgot they have a back to back and have to travel to Colorado tonight.

    I believe in Hynes though, he’s been good about getting this team to respond

25. Bunch of unorganized thoughts on that shit from the game.
    -Jojo looks terrible.
    -Really crazy that these horrible turnovers are from EVERY defensemen. Chisholm, Brodin, Faber and Middleton all just forgetting what to do next to their own net, usually the thing that I would consider those last 3 guys the best at. Maybe having 2 weeks off was bad, actually.
    -You can really tell that missing Eriksson Ek and Hartman is doing something weird to the energy of the forwards. Neither of those guys was even playing great before their departures, so I don’t know what it is.
    -Gaudreau just shot the puck at Johannson’s feet as he skated in offside. He looks frustrated with Jojo too. Maybe the team is seeing what I’m seeing.
    -Gaudreau’s goal was nutty. If he’s able to do that shit, why hasn’t he been? Dudes been close to unplayable for a while, then suddenly pulls off a ‘chell double deke to score? Canyou do that more often?
    -What happened to Khuzy? He looks invisible out there.
    -I hate this ref. The one who looks like a child got stretched out really long? Fuck that guy.
    -Moose mad, does nothing. Thanks for trying buddy.
    -Alright, turning this off now. (it was 4-1 at the time).

26. i wish i was strong enough to turn that game off sooner

27. The reality is this team has no scoring depth outside of 3 players and despite the excellent start is in danger of missing the playoffs. I mean the injuries are just too much this year. I hope BG doesnt mortgage the future with a rental that wont be getting them out of the first round if they squeak in. Winnipeg, Dallas are pretty much locked at 1-2 barring disaster. The second wild card is only 7 pts away. This is not unreachable. I have never seen a team destroyed more by injuries ever. The combined missed games by our starters this year for injuries /suspension (assuming Kap and Ek are out til playoffs) is 200 combined games. Thats something I hope to never see again.

28. Didn’t know they played tonight. Thank god I didn’t
