Gamethread: Wild at Panthers (6:00 p.m.)

Zuccy makes them 4/5 on PP and chases Bob out of the game 

Fluery out too?

Pablo Lopez...unexpected and kinda cool. 

Hope Flower isn't hurt. He made an awkward stretch on a earlier save that looked painful 

Stuff is getting messy and weird. I am now potentially seeing a correlation with the #24 and putting the puck into the stands on clears for penalties. 

Panthers are not playing well tonight, but I really like their physical game. Can I say that?! I've seen Maroon dumped, Boldy dropped, and that hip check on Dewey. Haven't seen him since - hope it's minor. Now NoJo is down - but that one was another penalty.

Another PPG?!! Is that what it usually feels like for our opponent?

Sounds like Flower is a UBI and Dewar is LBI

All the big guys for MN on the scoresheet. Like that but need more losses. 

Flower must have prepaid the pipes - being friendly to Gus

Seems like MN has been able to offset guys returning from injury by adding new injuries. 

Looked like Wild went into their defensive game, and gave up 2 quick goals

We got a ballgame. Just ugly.

If that is their defensive game, we have big problems. Turnovers galore. 

Grizzle with the ENG to seal it

What a weird game. Sometimes entertaining, but messy as hell. Thanks for the W Panthers.

Man, I should go to see the Wild play more often, 5 PP goals!! Also Duhaime KO'd Lockwood. It looked scary, I was actually worried for him.  All that being said, I think they got the benefit of some non calls late in the game, but they did play a tough game.  Mermis got trucked just before the third or fourth Panthers goal.
