@NHL_Muse He fell down, terrible call. Wild fan….

More of a toe pick than a dive, but shouldn’t be a penalty imo. What do you guys think? 👇

@_HockeyTonk Ya, that’s a power dumb shit there. Dallas is up 2-1 because their power play is clicking at 36%. No need to look any harder than that. They’ve scored 2 five on five goals in 210 minutes of hockey. The Wild might consider taking fewer penalties.

@_HockeyTonk Otteninger has been better than Wallstedt the last 2 games

@tkloos Very true, Wallstedt has more to do with that than anything. Wally has been very good, but most advanced statistical models point towards Dallas being the better 5-on-5 team the past couple of games

“They can't hang with us five-on-five.” The Wild when it’s 5-on-5:

@_HockeyTonk 5 on 5 play is not the problem for the Wild

@LassStats @gjspittle Complaining about one of the best PP’s in the league that’s clicking at 36% seems a little odd to me.

@gjspittle @tkloos Duchene needs to be taken off PP1, replace by a Hyry who can actually do power plays because the stars cannot do anything in transition because they have the whole year gone through the one guy goes forward, drops back, gives the puck and they go to the boards. Set up PP%=58%👍

At some point if it's there, I need Heiskanen to shoot on the power play. Minnesota needs to know that a shot can come from the point. #texashockey

@loverboyilya @22DUHAIME He has 15 goals in 25 career playoff games. That’s a higher rate than his regular season numbers.

@22DUHAIME kaprizov disappears come playoffs

Okay now that it’s been 3 games can we talk about Yurov and Kaprizov… or the lack there of

@chrischam2b Honestly he just takes poison darts more often than you’d think. Basically every game. It’s hard to explain but I don’t think he’s diving. That said it was a horrible call.

@tkloos Very convenient time for one of the best skaters in the league to toe pick

Wow what a dive from Hughes. That’s not an OT penalty. We better not hear anything about diving the rest of this series. #TexasHockey

@Mikko4Norris He’s many things, a baby isn’t one of them. He was understandably upset from being clubbed in the back of the head and forced to leave the game for concussion protocol. He’s been as good as any player in this series.

Boldy is such a cry baby, stars players don’t do this shit

@DallasStarsDDH Horrible call! But Hughes just flat fell down. He’s a great player but having now watched him for half a season he honestly just falls down fairly often.

Stick gets SLIGHTLY wedged between his hands and his knee. Soft call, but if you feel that you're obviously going to go down to sell it. #TexasHockey

@chrischam2b We can’t take stupid penalties against that power play.

The Wild had five man advantages after the second intermission. Officiating is not why they lost. #TexasHockey

@chrischam2b Absolutely not, they are getting smoked on special teams. They’ve given up 2 even strength goals. Stars have 6 on the PP and an EN. Same formula as 2023.

@Mike_Telfer @mdixonair Well, their 7-2 goal differential would seem to indicate that.

@mdixonair But I was told MIN was superior at 5v5

EXPECTED GOALS AT FIVE ON FIVE, GAME 3

@mdixonair Actual goals 5 on 5, 7-2 Wild

@ibamboozIe Incredible player, wish we had him.

- Minnesota game 6 series winner - Seattle game 7 winner - Vegas game 3 OT winner - Vegas game 7 opening goal - Colorado game 4 two goal game - Colorado game 5 two goal game - Colorado game 7 winner - Minnesota game 3 OT winner Wyatt Johnston is RIDICULOUS.

@apollostoney Blame the ref, dude just fell down.

Quinn is addicted to diving and tummy time

@Patty21NHL @MarkLazerus He toe picked, terrible call but he just fell down.

@MarkLazerus In what world was hughes’ olympic level dive a warranted penalty

Three penalties against Dallas in the third, and now one in overtime. (All of them warranted!) Let's retire the "rigged against Minnesota" conspiracy, eh?

@MarkLazerus Wild history in a nutshell. Dallas has 9 goals in 3 games. 6 on the PP and an empty net goal. 2 even strength goals in 210 minutes of hockey. Exact recipe Dallas had last time they met in the playoffs. Special teams dominance.
