But Fleury could have played the breakaway much better. He had no chance on the tip. That's fair-the shots have been a bit difficult. I was expecting a Stars win regardless too. We won the first one because Gus basically stole it. So the decision is to bench our best player for the next one? Makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were to go back to St. Paul 2-0 I don't think the Stars could recover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_Soldier Verified Member Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Pretty good period overall honestly. Playing extremely well defensively. Good job getting one back at the end Boys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlhouse Verified Member Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 We're going to need MoJo to capitalize on some of the grade A chances he gets himself. I counted 3 last game he had a great chance to score on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Catch me up, guys. How'd the 1st goal get scored? How'd we get a double minor? Had to watch Canes in OT until ESPN2 got freed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine Dean would ever try it, but I'd be interested to see how he does with Kap on the top line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyquist isn't a dirty player in general, and yes what Spurgeon did against the Blues last year was totally unacceptable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 While starting MAF may not do much for us in this game, going forward it should help wear down Oettinger. Remember, this is a 7 game series. Have we been throwing the body at all? If this gets out of hand, start targeting players. I would focus on Hintz, Robertson, Suter, Heiskanen, and Benn.

Had to watch Canes in OT until ESPN2 got freed up. Hintz scored a shorty off a bad entry by the Wild when (Didn't see who it was.....Boldy?) tried to pass the puck to Spurgeon through three Stars players. The second was on a double minor when Middleton highsticked Domi and drew (a single tiny) drop of blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaprizov tried dropping a pass back to Spurgeon in a crowd just after a zone entry on the PP, but Hintz came away from the crowd with it and beat Fleury with a straight quick wrist shot over the glove--first shot against Fleury of the game was on that breakaway. Middleton drew blood on a high stick when a Dallas player lifted his stick into the face of the Stars player for the double-minor. Wild had done well on the kill, but a deflection right in front slipped through Fleury's legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good hits from the Wild. 17 in the 1st period. Dallas 1st goal was SH turnover. 2nd was a Dallas PP during the 2nd of the double minor.
