2015 - 2016 Season Thread

Jason Zucker, for about the last two seasons, quickly becoming the type of sniper teams are gonna have to gameplan for.

Nice to see him become a key part of the Wild, mostly under the radar for many in the NHL....but if he can make his mark in the playoffs, hidden no longer he will be.

Tough loss to Dallas tonight, but at least we took them to OT.

Tough to complain about starting off with 3/4 pts on this road trip and we got a pt against a great team but man we suck at 3 on 3 hockey lol. Just not built for it.

It was just a matter of time watching that OT tonight.

Thankfully....3 on 3 is not a playoff thing!!

Lets keep it going.

Jason Pominville.....simply-can't-purchase-a-goal.

It's unbelievable.
That's GOTTA be in his head by now.
Some of the chances he's been getting...they just don't come any plainer. Yet he can't come up with one.

Can only hope that once he gets the first one, he can get them in bunches.

He is almost like where Vanek was last year (and Vanek is having a pretty good year so far)....just crazy stuff.

Our only visit to Pittsburgh this year. Make it count! A nice 5-1 thrashing would do, amirite, @MISKO?!?!

oh hell no

If I wasn't so tired, it'd be a good game to catch at Biffs.

Are we ever going to have a fucking Power play?

It's been dog shit for years now. It's embarrassing

The defense sure has been playing horseshit. My god!

Yea, Minnesota normally has a solid defense...and the PK especially, has been pretty bad.
Sub 80% and sitting near the bottom of the league.

And to be honest, there should be no real reason for that.
Just lapses in coverage at the most in opportune times and BAM...they give the other team a lead which Minnesota doesn't recover from.

 

[IndyAndy]

The Wild are now 1 for their last 6 .

... And they face Dallas on Saturday.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Will Yeo ever realize that playing to protect a lead is a fucking awful strategy?

Yep. There is no excuse for the loss yesterday.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

About time they held on for a win.


BUT! I'm getting sick of this late November to late December swoon every year under Yeo. WTF?!?! Having to dig ourselves out of a hole every year shouldn't be happening.

A main reason is because we don't have a PP for the 4th straight year under Yeo. The announcers even acknowledge how illogical it is to have off hand shooters together on the ice

Thank god Suter called him out on his normal d pairings...it won us a game.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Got ourselves on a 3 game win streak now. TOnight was a pretty complete performance. Would like us to burry more chances though.

Even after the skid weve got ourselves right up there in the conference standings. Have to take advantage of a slightly "easier" schedule here this month.

 

[IndyAndy]

Having back-to-backs vs. the Avs should help to pad our season points total.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Couple shutouts recently, too! Defense has definitely been playing better.

Dubnyk has a groin strain & will miss Monday's game - & maybe more:

OT is just basically an automatic loss for us
