Ick. Gross. Nasty. Last night's loss left a horrible taste in my mouth, and it was the flavor of Buffaslug and bile.
This goal was the tying goal, 46 seconds following the one that made is 3-2. At this point, I think I threw a napkin at the TV and shouted an expletive toward one Brent Burns. After all, he was in the middle of everything last night.
Luckily Burns understands my frustration and doesn't hide from his faults.
Now, does this mean it's Burns' fault the Wild lost? Of course not, but he certainly didn't help things last night, fluky though those plays may have been. Oh, and Miettinen was terrible also. -3 and lost all night long. Koivu, Boogaard, Clutterbuck and Pouliot impressed last night, but they're about it. Not a good game. Things haven't seemed to improved much since Tampa. But Pouliot looks like he's learning to move on, and I have to agree with him.
What I don't understand is this:
WHAT? You liked all the players? And they collapsed with 5 left? Seriously? I guess that's why I'm a fan and you're making the big bucks, huh?
