Game Thread: Caps @ Wild 1/4

[IndyAndy]

I'm getting this thread started, but my attention may not be 100% on this game until the Colts/Chiefs game is over.

Just sayin...

Caps are spending too much time in the Wild's end of the ice.

Johansson gets one in on a PP, then Green gets a 2nd just 13 seconds later.

2-0 Caps.

 

[IndyAndy]

Your not going to win games by only getting one (official) shot on goal & playing most of the period in your own end, guys.

 

[IndyAndy]

Niederreiter!!

... Gets one back for Minny early in the 2nd.

***

Mikko Koivu takes a puck to the shin ala Parise.

 

[IndyAndy]

Suter!!

Minny had a 5 on 3: They still have about 1 minute of 5 on 4 coming.

****

Suter again!!

2-3 Wild

3 goals on 5 shots? i guess this is why Holtby doesnt play anymore.

 

[IndyAndy]

Oh, my.

Backstrom inadvertently puts the puck in his own net: It hit the back of his legs after rebounding off of the back wall.

3-3 tie.

 

[IndyAndy]

Zucker!!

Minny back on top... for now.

 

[hokiehi21]

3 for 4 on the PP. 4 goals on 8 shots. LOL at the Caps

 

[IndyAndy]

Hat Trick for Suter!!

Minny leads 5-3 after killing a Caps PP.

 

[IndyAndy]

And your final score is 5-3 Minnesota.

The Wild win & the Colts win: It's been a good day.

I missed the first period due to being out fishing but the rest was a great game to watch. Suter is the man!
