Article: Gamethread: Wild at Sabres (7:00 p.m.)

KK97 did get the PP goal from Ovi's office again too. 2nd time this year on the PP I believe. He might not have Ovi's shot nor will he ever have it, but I like it despite his early struggles.

I knew little about Patty Maroon...his finesse is surprising to say the least. Thank god the Wild aren't paying Reaves. 

[UK_Soldier]

Rossi...that was pretty. Keep at it kid. 

[UK_Soldier]

Bogo...that was a dirty try. Your reputation does indeed precede you. 

[M_Nels]

Great start to the period!! Bogo’s 1st penalty. Boys have to kill it off!!

[M_Nels]

Here we go boys!! Gotta take advantage!!

[UK_Soldier]

4 minutes. Do it boys. 

[UK_Soldier]

I'm not even mad at that PP despite no goals. It looked good. 

[M_Nels]

Both PP’s actually looked pretty good that time. Nothing found twine but had some good looks.

I'm going to take credit given I was sarcastically (or not?) thinking the Wild needed to call in Parise and Oates. The Wild obviously don't want that to happen.

Lol Louiegi,

I hope he falls asleep.

Nice to see Greenway is still too lazy to back check. Man, he could be a pretty good NHL player if he wanted to.

Had a hockey coach that hated the word “potential” said if you’re always talking about a guys potential he damn sure isn’t ever going to live up to it. Greenway could be a unit but lacks the killer instinct.

I was worried based upon the scouting reports when he was drafted by the Wild. He was call "lazy" in college. Natural talent, no "want-to". 

...and in his defense, he's shown flashes of the "want-to" but it's few and far between.

Shit. My god. I've never seen a Wild team be worse with turnovers...and it's KK97 again. FML. 

...and now you're frustrated and take a penalty. Pull your head out of your f'ing ass.

That simply cannot happen, period. Brodin/KK with a BRUTAL turnover. Wild all the momentum the whole period and felt like they could’ve had 3+ goals and give up a boneheaded breakaway.

High danger chances 8-3 in the Wild's favor. Yikes. 

[Protec]

That's how hockey works. Miss chances, flunk PPs, and eventually you make a mistake and it's in the back of your net. 

They need to just come out and kill the penalty. Then win the next shift. One shift at a time.

[Protec]

Hope they're getting mentally prepared.

[UK_Soldier]

C'mon L4. Be the pests you need to be. 

[UK_Soldier]

Sigh. Nice play by the Sabres, but just pick up the Blue shirts boys. It's not that fricking hard. 

[Protec]

Well it ain't over but it's exactly why you gotta capitalize and get the rhythm going early. 

[M_Nels]

FFS boys. All about execution, dominating in every category (faceoffs surprisingly too) and yet down 1-3.

[Greenbean]

Maybe we need some more grit? 🙄🙄

They're leading in basically every fancy stat you can think of. They just can't hit the net or execute.
