Imyourhuckleberry Verified Member Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago If Vegas wasn't tripping(1st game) and tackling(game 4) guys on their power play opportunities, it might be easier for the Wild PK to hold up. Ridiculous deflection off the 2 guys on the ice in game 4 after the tackle. The last power play in game 1 was an empty net goal. Avoiding the penalty box is certainly best, as they did in game 2, but the Wild did go 4/4 on the PK in game 3. 3 of the 4 power play goals against have come from high sticking penalties, and the other one was the trip during empty net play to end game 1. Guys need to control those sticks and stay out of the box. Hopefully the Wild can continue to get the better of the 5v5 play and avoid the sin bin to win. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is too slow and can get beat in open ice. He screens our own goalie ... a lot. He is horrible at passing stick to stick. His biggest redeeming quality is that he understands what he is and doesn't try to do too much. Time to kneel down and say a little prayer to the hockey gods that Merrill plays some inspired hockey. 🫣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one in Iowa got much playing time this year. There is more talent in Iowa instead of Merril. Our D-core has to be damn near outta gas. Hope I'm wrong but Vegas already wore our top 4 out.

I am hoping the extra day rest between games helps tonight. Edited 3 hours ago by MNCountryLife 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
