By Christopher Boyd -
Minnesota United had a chance to take the lead in the 87th minute with a penalty kick by league-leading scorer Christian Ramirez. Ramirez shanked his shot wide, missing his first penalty kick of the season. The game would result in a 0-0 tie.
There were a few plays of note, with Jason Zucker just missing getting his throat slashed by a skate- don't worry, he's fine. Zucker also had a nice shot off the goal-post, breaking hearts of Wild fans everywhere. The goal would have been his third of the season.
Maybe the most poignant commentary on the sad affair can be found in the Jewels from the Crown Recap:
Despite my urge to add some Pearl Jam to the walk (as The Noogie went to the concert last night), I feel the following song is far more appropriate... so on to the walk!
