Gamethread: Wild vs. Maple Leafs (7:00 a.m.)

Jon Merrill?

Ok then.  Goals are goals.  Also, Giordano with gift save.

Posts playing nice

Not surprising

Bah

Ek hurt by Marner bullshit

And Ek getting back in like nothing happened.  A freaking terminator.

Let's Go Wi-ld! Even if I'm still waking up.

Leafs playing their game, and the Wild weren't catching up.

Well now it's a 2 goal deficit.

MMMMIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDLLLLLEEEETTTTTOOOOONNNNN!!! 

Middleton scores, if only defensemen with a last name starting with M are scoring why isn't Mermis playing?

How is it our best scorers get stuffed, but Middleton and Merrill score?

ZZZZZZZUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCAAAARRRRREEEEEELLLLLLOOOOOOO!!!

Apparently the rule extends to forwards' first names too: Mats

That should open up some other options too — looking at you: Marcus Foligno, Marcus Johansson, Marco Rossi and Matt Boldy

All of them scoring would be good.

Sure would be nice if there wasn't like a 7sec delay in audio versus video

Another point

Well bummer...5 losses in a row. I guess 2 out of 4 points in Sweden is better than nothing. 

Wild have yet to win a Global series game...wah wah. 0-4 for Helsinki and Stockholm. 

I heard the rinks in Sweeden are 15ft wider than NHL rinks  if thats true the Wild did a good job defending  all that extra space  against the Leafs . 

Just watched the TOR game.  Bad trip to Sweden for our listless Wild.  Dean Watch is absolutely on.  While I think he won’tbe fired before February he’s definitely on notice.  In February firing scenario they promote an interim internally with outside coach coming in off season.  If this group has tuned out Dean and they drift outside of playoff race for two months, Dean is gone.  Needed that OTT game to right the ship.  No shame losing to TOR.  
foligno exceptionally bad at executing hockey plays against TOR.  Guerin: explain to me like I’m 5 y.o. why we needed to lock him up for four more years after his contract ends this season.  Ridiculous.

Sure glad this teams core is locked up for another 2-4 years! Wtg BG!

I could accept this kind of season if the wild were playing young players learning the NHL, but Guerin had to lock down a bunch of dinosaurs, and this is the result? We can blame Dean all we want, but this is Guerins constructed roster.

Guerins seat should be starting to warm up as Deans is.

If it was my response is, even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then.
