Crazy ending, Preds tie with 0.3 seconds left, then the goalie clearly dislodges the net, I think it's the right call.  I compare it to if there's an empty net and a player gets a breakaway, if a defender throws their stick or trips them even before they can shoot, the ref can still award a goal.  Just think how many times that goalie has gotten away with it throughout his career.  I feel a little bad for Bruno afterwards as he is clearly on the hot seat and will likely be the first coach fired this year.

Wins are wins, and the Wild are clawing back to the pack.

Eriksson Ek should have just taken the puck to the corner rather than trying to throw it out of the zone. Could have killed the time by just holding the puck instead of giving them an easy passing lane from the blue line.

Felt bad for Gus there because he played a great game and that last second shot could have been avoided. Both goals were bad plays by his forwards giving the puck away in the defensive zone.

The goal came off really easily. He didn't put that much pressure on the post and the goalie needs to press against the goal post to seal off the space for the puck. It didn't look intentional, but I'm happy the Wild got 2 points.
