Wild 2013-14 season

[Allycat]

Wow they are losing at home to a team without their 4 best players. Every year same thing......

[bbfenatic]

Seems like they are way too tense, hands of stone, can't put it away in the clutch. 2-3-4 in past 9 games, and 1-1-3 in past 5 at home....and what does it mean when the coach even says; "what I hope is that we don't try turn this into 'oh no...here we go again'"....draw your own conclusion on that statement.

[knoppers]

you won't win many games when you keep missing open nets. and it seems they can no longer play any defense.

[Bear55]

and it seems they can no longer play any defense.

I think this is the big one, D hasn't been as sharp and Kuemper hasn't been as good either. Not sure what to make of Bryz yet.

As a team overall they haven't been playing terrible just a mix of inconsistent play. I was hoping they might still go on a run (not much time left) but we just seem to be missing that extra gear right now. Lucky for us Boston is on a tear right now and beat Phoenix.

I think everyone saw what Coyle did today, kid was good and if he can bring that all the time you kind of see the potential this team has. Like I said a month ago, if we make the playoffs don't be surprised if we don't last long. However if we get hot things can still happen, and if the kids can all show up and show something at the same time we could be crazy be dangerous.

[bbfenatic]

the kids are doing fine, its the vets that need to step up. Parise 7 SOG and nothing to show for it, koivu made a great shot but overall has not played like the leader of an NHL team....not too impressed and better turn it around in a big way soon. No better time than now to inflict some payback on Wings in their house today.

[OnAFly]

Yeo is gone after this season. You can tell he's losing (or lost) control when he comes out to the press and brings a list of reasons why the situation isn't that bad. We are 3-3-4 in our last 10. That's 10/20 points.

We're 4pts up on PHO, 6 on DAL. At this rate, we're on track for 94 points. The consensus seems to be 94-95 to get into the playoffs.

The only thing that I think will save his a$$ right now is making it into the second round. That will make it harder for Leo and Fletch to fire him.

[wormdunker]

Koivu 9 goals.

[OnAFly]

You know what, I think there's a chance of that tonight

[bbfenatic]

From the Star/Trib;

On Brodziak being on the ice for three goals yesterday and losing 8 of 11 faceoffs, Yeo said, "Last game to me was not what I saw the two previous games. Wasn’t crazy about last game. As far as the two previous games, I thought it was two of his best games since before the Olympic break. And that’s what we have to try to get him back to. Before the Olympic break, he was playing a real important role for our team. Last game wasn’t as good. Maybe it was fatigue, whatever, but we have to get him back."

Almost laughable.....what important role was that? He would not even see any ice time on another team the way he has played all year. I can see 3/4 of the Wild team rolling their eyes after reading that.

[CaptainMusky]

Yeah it is perplexing for sure. As a coach I'm sure he has to tiptoe around stuff like that but he hasn't been too valluable all season. Yeah he was important on penalty kill but his play more often than not has been costly.

[10,000 Casts]

Yeo's not going anywhere.

[10,000 Casts]

On another note.. Bryzgolov is a sieve.

[CaptainMusky]

Huge two points tonight. Wild had lits of chances and made a few of them count. Unibrow with game winner.

[OnAFly]

Bryz is not as good as I was hoping. Not exactly athletic, sometimes out of position, not good in the SO.

Yeo on Brodz....yeah I don't get it. The guy gets his pocket picked constantly and can not hit an open net.

On tonight, well you have to give Yeo credit for getting the guys going again to get the lead. Did anyone else notice that DET actually continued to pressure up to the end of regulation instead of going into defensive turtle mode. I wish Yeo would see that.

[Bear55]

On another note.. Bryzgolov is a sieve.

Yep and Kuemps hasn't looked the same either. I wonder if Harding has a miraculous recover in him for the playoffs.

Nice win tonight, a much needed two points.

[bbfenatic]

Finally.....a gritty, fight it out, come from behind OT win....just what the Doctor ordered, well done and keep em coming.

[10,000 Casts]

That 3rd goal was awesome. The puck movement and sustained time in the O zone wore Detroit down until they jammed it in. I think the announcer said that it was absolute chaos for the wings right before they scored. Too bad Bryzgoloz had to let in a 3rd softy to take away the momentum and tie the game.

I think the Wild need to hold onto the puck more in the O zone instead of taking worthless high and wide snap shots.

[PierBridge]

this is the Kind of game that can change your whole season around.

down two zip on the road and you win

[CaptainMusky]

Agreed this was a huge game on all accounts. Come from behind on the road to take the lead. Give up late goal to tie but still come back and get a win.

[Bear55]

Well if we make the playoffs we should be pretty battle tested down the stretch. Not to many cupcakes on the schedule the rest of the way.

Canucks

Blues

Yotes

Kings

Hawks

Penguins

Jets

Bruins

Blues

Preds

[TomWehler]

We are Leafs Nation us Wehler's but support the Wild since they became a team.

Went to every game played 1st six seasons.

Moved out of St. Paul an well only go 10 games now.

2003 playoff run was a blast.

Saved 22 of the banner Playoff Flags from the home games an fly two as drive markers each winter since to support the team all winter.

Also fly them at cabin an in music room.

Fun junk an maybe give Wild a boost for last big run here at home an the tuff test on the road and for sure we hope past 1st round as they been flying out there all winter an still looken good. Tuff Darts!!

[bbfenatic]

Yeo says Canucks in "playoff mode" with their backs against the wall. We'll see how we respond...should be a great game tonight.

[10,000 Casts]

Seriously... Bryzgolov is horrible.

[schmitty3]

Yeah Bryz is no good, and Kuemper is coming back down to some average at best goaltending. Not the time for this, maybe Harding will have a spectacular comeback for the playoffs...

[OnAFly]

Well.....that was icky

I stopped watching after the 4th goal...maybe it was the 5th. Either way, onto tomorrow at STL. That should be an easy two points.

BTW, PHO is 3pts behind us. DAL is 6 I believe.
