Wild vs Avs

[Pewterschmidt]

Bad penalty by Foligno.  This could be turning point this game    Stupid.  We needed a fight but not a double to their smallest guy

[UK_Soldier]

Just a shooting gallery out there. Wish we could have had the Avs yesterday. 

[IrritatedFan76]

Not sure what’s harder to take: Faber staring at McKinnon and/or Landeskog as they skate by, like an 8- year old waiting for an autograph or Carter droning on and on about how good the Avs are. Who’s this guy doing color for!?! He’s a disaster.

[IrritatedFan76]

No jam. No heart. If your gonna loose, remind em you’ll see em again.

and this went sideways….

GRIIIIIIIIZZLLLLLLLLE

Good push by the Wild. Hope it's not too late. 

[Enforceror]

Finally. Nice job Grizz. Hopefully this spurs a little energy. They look tired. 

[Pewterschmidt]

[Enforceror]

Boldy goal incoming.

[Enforceror]

Looking good this period. Probably too little too late but encouraging to see them try to battle back.

[UK_Soldier]

Welp...boys didn't have it today. 

[Enforceror]

Ok I'm going to shut up now...

[Will D. Ness]

Nope.  Ugly game. 

[AKwildkraken]

Tough draw tonight, day two of a back to back and playing the best team so far this year.  Also I think Walz said it was the 6th game in nine days.  Can't win em all.

So fun having the Wild be legit with the addition of Hughes. However, tonight was a rude reminder that the Wild cannot play with Colorado and they will get them in the first or second round of the playoffs.  There is a huge gap in talent and professionalism between Minnesota and Colorado and in no universe does the Wild win 4 of 7 games against them.  So enjoy the regular season and realize that no matter how well they do, this is all we get.

We get another crack at them end of Feb. 1-1 so far. Too early to doom and gloom, we have a really good team.

Also, you never know who will be healthy come playoff time.

Is anyone arguing Quinn Hughes is better than Cale Makar tonight?

One of Makar's points was a "not very special" 2nd assist, but the other 2 were an excellent first assist by Makar, and a fantastic shot from up top.

I know the Wild didn't have their best game. The Wild don't have games the day before for either of the next 2 games against the Avalanche, so we'll see if they can match up better with more rest in those.

Wild are still 2nd in points percentage since November 1st(With Colorado, Minnesota, and Dallas all far ahead of the 4th place Hurricanes), and should have a lot of good hockey ahead.

The doomers and gloomers just love to give their two cents after a loss just to say “told ya so.” Maybe it helps their ego? 🤷‍♂️

It's not doom and gloom to state that Colorado is the best team in hockey.  It's just a fact.  2 regulation losses at Christmas.  The Wild will have to play them early in the playoff structure.  Enjoy the regular season.  Wild are a nice club.  Colorado is a great club.
