Pens vs. Wild

[Enforceror]

If we don't win this one I'm jumping on the blow it up bandwagon, lol.

[RedLake]

It's not looking good. Sloppy game. Brazzy and Merril are legends.

[Enforceror]

Look at that, a successful PK. 

[Enforceror]

The only thing worse than failing a 2min PP is failing a 4min PP.

Don't do it. 

[RedLake]

1st playa of the game goes to John Merril.

For the Pens, yep.

[Enforceror]

Great, another PP. *yawn*

[Thatoneguy]

Worst special teams performance in NHL history. No way this team wins more than 2 playoff games this year. 

[Enforceror]

This is a bottom 4 team in the NHL. Cmon guys, can't let this one slip away.

[WheelSnipeCelly]

0-for-5 PP: Oof. 

1-for-2 PK: Definitely not going to help our 31st place 70.2%. The Red Wings are 32nd with 70.1%. At this rate the Wild will finish the season in last place in PK.

[Enforceror]

I think Faber has a better net drive than any of the forwards.

Last game too! Always appreciate when the defense steps up in the play. Noticed that was such a big part of the Wild's early success this season too. 

[WheelSnipeCelly]

Uggghh...not a great showing against the 15th placed Eastern Conference team...these are the ones where the Wild need to find a way to win.

[Thatoneguy]

Watching this team play today makes me scratch my head even more as to the trades that were made. I can't see how either player has even moved the needle. 

[WheelSnipeCelly]

The Wild are amazing at making any goalie look like a Vezina winner. Jarry hasn't played in the NHL in 2025 yet (was playing in the AHL before that). 

[Enforceror]

About freakin time. Too late too little.

[WheelSnipeCelly]

HAAAARRRRTTTTMMMMAAANNNNNN!!! Hoping that's what opens the dam!

They aren't gonna make the post season let alone win 1 playoff game.

I'll even take a trickle that gets us 1 point...

[RedLake]

Pens are the worst team in the league since Christmas. If anyone thinks this team is playoff bound is sadly mistaken. By the time Kap, Ek and brodin return its gonna be to late. 

[RedLake]

Yotes and Canucks are gonna catch Minny in 2 weeks time.

[WheelSnipeCelly]

Not a great showing and not a great way to start the 7 home game stand. So confusing on how the Wild have the best away standings, but one of the worst home standings.

[Enforceror]

PK, PP, Offense all are in need of a huge makeover. I wasn't counting on a cup run this year and didn't even have high hopes for playoffs before the season started. That great start we had was a mirage. Maybe that's why it's so frustrating. 

I guess we just need to ride this season out and hope for some offseason changes that make a difference.

When you see some of the missed shots from Rossi today Mojo last game, The  Brock Nelson;s of the NHL settles the puck down and hits those shots thats why some of those vets in the 30s are good to have , im not saying to get rid of Rossi or to go and get Nelsen but thats why theyre mentioned and not because theyre from MN .

Unfortunately I think that is likely, especially if we continue this slump. I don't think Nyquist has hurt us and generally believe he is more of an asset than a liability. Breezers I just don't know WTF. 

Today's loss is especially frustrating. While we had some good chances, we pretty much got beat by the Pens' AHL goalie and Sid.
