Linus is stopping everything with his groin.

That's one way to get the building going.

Those fans are still mourning "wide left."

Hopefully we can extend our winning streak to two tonight! Need the first goal again.

I did. They are in the Preds division, so I watch them play a lot. If the Wild get the lead it is boring defensive hockey for the rest of the game. Absolutely awful to watch as a fan. If they fall behind then it can still be a semi-exciting game. But, I really detest the teams that play ultra-defensive systems, even though it has proven to be pretty effective in the long-run. Last time the Wild were here in Nashville, the Preds jumped out to an early lead. Yet, due to their defensive system, the Wild refused to forecheck. On two different occasions, a Preds defenseman just stood behind his own net with the puck for a good 20-30 seconds, essentially saying "come and get me, we have the lead, I could just stand here for the rest of the game!"

Some of the frequent posters will be rocking back and forth in the fetal position all night... :)

The two most defensively-oriented teams in the league met up tonight. True to form, the Devils - Wild game was a snoozer. 0-0 through two periods. 35 shots combined. Awful hockey to watch.

Ullmark #1 Drew Stafford #2 Samson Reinhart #3 Winnipeg press is a joke.

Nice job with your three stars, Winnipeg. :blink:

Goal number 10, 11, and 12 for Samson.

Dear City of Winnipeg, F. U. Love, Evander Kane

First NHL hat trick for the kid. Nice.

That is very close to offsides. Very similar to the Jets play that we challenged in the first.

Kane wins points with his teammates for passing up that one.

Big faceoff win by O'Reilly. Hat trick! Kane to Reinhart!

He really didn't need to ice that puck.

I can't believe Randy's barbecuing

We could call timeout... but we wasted it on the first period goal challenge.

Our d-men do a fantastic job of passing to no one in particular. ;)

Leggy isn't out there much, but he has had a solid game. Larsson has been noticeable too.

That one was all on the goalie. He kicked that puck right onto Marcus' stick.

Yes! Foligno! WTF is happening?!

Ronnie James? B-)
