By Joe -
The plays are different, and the puck did take longer to cross the blue line for Brodziak than did the Coyle play from earlier this season, but the same rule applies...at least was applied in this case.
Outside of the controversial offside play, Ryan Reaves' shot was misplayed by Dubnyk and went off the back of the catching glove for the goal. It was very much a weak goal and just epitomized the evening for Dubnyk and the Wild.
Enter Darcy Kuemper. Kuemper saw 18 shots in just 27:55 on ice time and he stopped them all. He just seemed to get stronger as the game went on - even showing a bit of that "Darcy Swagger" he likes to show when he's feeling confident.
Now two goals down, coach Torchetti pulled the goalie again. This time Jake Allen made an exceptional save with the stick on Jason Pominville. Time expired and the Wild fell at home...again.
