Wild 2014/2015 Regular Season

[OnAFly]

Moore will get a couple of games for that hit on Haula. That is exactly what they are trying to get rid of.

This game has been reminscent of Vigneaults time in Vancouver. Pure garbage.

[bobberineyes]

Probably a good thing we can't score on the power play. The way we're scoring even strength there goones would take out more of our players.

[CaptainMusky]

Pathetic! 2 major penalties in one period. A 3 goal lead going into 3rd and lose this game. They should have gotten 2 goals on those 2 major penalties. That ineptitude cost them this game.

[Hester]

Agreed Captain, That and poor defence late. Also, Kemper has to learn to lay the puck better.

[PierBridge]

Worst loss in team history!

Thats all..

[OnAFly]

[10,000 Casts]

Kuemper allowed 5 goals not only in 1 period but on 20 shots in the whole game. Not completely his fault but he looked rattled. Suter struggled too. Our D was a disaster and I haven't seen a debacle like that in a long time.

Gotta love Parise coming back out after getting stitched up, that's hockey toughness!

[Hester]

Old time hockey!

Like Eddie Shore!

[CaptainMusky]

I look at it more like kuemper gave up 5 goals on 9 shots since they all came in the 3rd. I believe it was the 5th goal was totally a defensive breakdown no one went after the puck Suter to blame IMO.

Worst loss in team history? Embarrassing yes but I think the loss to the oilers (I think it was oilers) two years ago when they had to clinch a playoff spot was worse.

I realized something last night. When the Vikings blow a game I get a chuckle out of it and it doesn't bother me one bit. Last night I got so bugged by the debacle going on I turned the game off so I would be able to get to sleep at a decent time. I'm moderately embarrassed by this but have now realized why after Vikes games the call in shows go on forever with really irate and upset fans.

[CaptainMusky]

Leech I'm with you on that one! My wife started watching and then all things went south. I told her to get the heck out of the room and as she stood up goal 5 goes in. I blame her. Lol

[OnAFly]

Well, maybe this is a good thing. Next time we have a lead late in a game, Yeo can bring this up and say, "this is what happens if you stop playing." Hopefully it's motivation for the team moving forward to never take the foot off the gas.

That third was tough to watch. You could see it coming. We stopped skating, we lost battles, we coasted around our zone. Even Kuemper got a little lazy on one or two of those goals.

[solbes]

That was awful

[bbfenatic]

What was there 14 minutes of PP and we could not score....deserve to lose. Their PP does not even seem to get energized or much pressure....just hoping someone makes a shot. I thought we brought Andrew Brunette onto the bench to fix the PP?

Put the Zucker-Cooke-Carter line out on PP, they seems to be picking up a bulk of the scoring lately anyways.

[BartmanMN]

Beyond the break down in the third, we need to score on the PP. Plain and simple.

[OnAFly]

Zucker got some PP time when Parise was out.

Please no Carter. The guy takes stupid penalties, can't check and can't skate. I'd rather have Brodziak out there. We'll be seeing more of Brodziak in that 3rd line center role with Haula out too.

They dominated the first 2 periods and were up 3-0. Who cares if they score on the PP, they were up 3-0. They deserve to lose because their Defense and goalie fell apart in the 3rd.

[Bear55]

Trying my best to erase that 3rd period from my memory, its not working.

[10,000 Casts]

This may help, I looked up the longest streak without a goal on the PP and I think it is 0-60 for the Leafs in the 70s. the next closest was Edmonton 0-40.

I think we are currently 0-24. And I think 3 or those were 5 min majors..

Let's see how far this goes..

The coaches care, the players care.

[leechlake]

at this point the only benefit of being on the PP is that the other team rarely scores during that time. As the power play woes go on it gets to be a mental issue more than a physical ability issue. It will come but is no fun until it does. One positive is our penalty kill, we're allowing less than one shot per PP and we're 3-4 in the league defending.

On a negative the Rangers were really doing poorly killing PP's...until last night.

[OnAFly]

Is it time to start taking bets yet?

Agree 100% and either way it is an issue that needs to get resolved...and like you stated, not like NYR are juggernauts on the PK.

Need to bounce back tonight...chance to redeem themselves against Bruins.

[bobberineyes]

We'll see how long our pp specialty coach lasts on the bench.

Per Russo:

No supplemental discipline for Kreider's hit on Brodin

Moore to face in person hearing (minimum 6 game suspension)

If the league wants to send a message, give Moore 20 games. He's a repeat offender who did the exact same thing to Weiss in last year's playoffs. He got 2 games for that...which is a joke.
