Puck N’ Pints

Point of clarification: 9 teams within striking distance. Expands to 12 if you’re an optimist.

There are currently 9 teams in the NHL playoff hunt for a wildcard spot #2 (5 in the west, 4 in the east). 8-9 games remaining for each. PnP OFFICIALLY endorsing Seattle and Columbus. Detroit would be a bonus. Big implications for Kings vs St. Louis and the Sharks tonight.

the average twins fan

Too bad Matty Ratty is literally the slowest skater in the league. #mnwild

Faber has been very noticeable in jumping the rush to support the breakout the last few games. At least 3 turning into high danger shots. #mnwild

Wild now have 23 PPGS in last 24 games. Most in NHL over that stretch. Top group back in tact tonight and they look sharp on first opportunity

What in the hell is Scorey thinking

Very classy evening at the Hussey household. Thankful for @Sand_Craner’s enthusiasm and glad I didn’t count the #spuds out and asked to stream the game. Free hockey!!

Wild get a key kill deep in the 3rd. Was a questionable call to begin with IMO, just a hockey play with a scary fall. Gus the best PKer on that one.

I see we are now smearing the hockey team bc Trump said something we didn't like. Journalism. The FIRST word out of a player's mouth after Trump's sentence is "ABSOLUTELY," followed by some cheering and laughing and then a chant of "TWO-FOR-TWO" in the background. Jack Hughes is literally on video saying the first person he thought of after his golden goal was Megan Keller, whom he'd congratulated on her OT goal the day before in the cafeteria. The entire team honored a fallen teammate by caring for his widow, parents and children on the ice in the moments after the Gold (and throughout the last 18 mos). But sure, because 100% of team members don't either a) reject a phone call from a president you don't like, which is probably Sally's actual wish or b) react like cable pundits by fact-checking him on said phone call, we're gonna milkshake duck a group of American heroes. It's so very missing the point.

Anyone have stats on how many times we iced the puck?

46 years to the date. Insane.

Yes!!!!!

What if the Olympic break for the NHL was like college. It didn’t pause the season, your 3-7 best players just were gone for 3 weeks. Owned never would agree obviously but interesting nonetheless.

There’s some fire from 34!! That’s a good tone PIM.

This is the most careless I’ve seen us breaking the puck out all season. Why are we throwing so much across/up the middle?? @RussoHockey @B_Marsh92

McKenna guaranteed himself #1 overall.

Let me clarify. IF the Pens fall out of playoff contention. Too many signs with Guerin and Fleury around the front office.

Crosby to the Wild. Send tweet.

Bonafide LEGEND. Face full of glass -> give me the puck -> snipe. #MNWild
