@polarisquinn Tied in the 3rd. We blinked first, and needed a save that Wally might want back, and now on to Game 2. Not discouraged. Wasted opportunity. Will not get many more.

okay you know what: for not having jeek or brodin OR a break after an intense series, we did pretty well. i’m proud of how well we held our own, so we shouldn’t get too discouraged

@MN_Wild_Fans MIN has two goalies. If you play Gus and he struggles you get Wally back at home for Gm 3. If Wally struggles again in Gm 2, now you have Gus in gm 3 to save the season? Plus Gus is signed hear. What are you saying if no change? Seems like a logical time to give Gus a chance.
English
If he starts Gus game 2 we riot. Wally is your guy.

I hate that John Hynes is likely pulling Jesper Wallstedt for game 2, but honestly would Filip Gustavsson do any better? #mnwild are missing Jonas Brodin n Joel Eriksson Ek. Their best defensive players. Gustavsson would have struggled as well.

@spittinchiclets @BizNasty2point0 Lost in the chaos: MIN 0/3 on PP and COL 2/2* (just ended). That still is a problem.
And if MIN is going to win then 97 is going to have to find another level.

Wild are 1-3 vs. Avalanche in Game 1s.
Wild are 2-1 vs. Avalanche in playoff series.
English
@AnthonyLaPanta Done 3-0, then Wild go 5-1, and then Col goes 5-1. Wild game.
English
Sheesh.
I thought there would be offense in this game - and this series - but never would have guessed we would see fifteen goals tonight.
English
@AnthonyLaPanta Yep, and that Bode well for the Wild because we all know number 12 hasn’t gotten on the board yet.
Plus, which team is more battle tested in tight games from the first round series?
English
Ten goals - and none from any of the five players in the series that scored 30 in the regular season.
English
@TimmyKal12 Minnesota might not win the series, but people should stop acting like they are the Wild of old. Took the start to acclimate to the speed of COL compared to DAL.
English
10 goals and I’m not really sure the goalies should have had any of them
English
@patmick2626 And how many of the 10 goals can you actually pin on it either of the two goalies?
English
@Ryan_Carter22 Tara-SNIPE-o is heating up. The man is streaky and this bodes well for MIN.
Got time.
English
@RussoHockey Depth scoring for COL has been amazing thus far. Hard to win the series if it keeps up.
English
After the Wild's No. 1 power play doesn't score again with a chance to tie it, Blankenburg, in for the injured Manson scores, on an odd-man rush. 4-2
English
@BrandonMileski It’s clear that our power-play is still in a funk, and we cannot get in the track meet with Colorado. That should’ve already been obvious.
English
@patmick2626 That should be the theme of the entire series, not just after the first period.
Keep playing, keep hitting, keep coming.
Regardless how this ends up after the next two, it’s still only counts for one game.
Special teams will need to “keep playing.” 0/1 vs 1/1.
Let’s go.
English
@10k_Takes Embrace the tank…. Oh wait, wrong sport, nevermind.
English
@Avalanche Wow, that’s quite a Wild post. Let’s see how hard these rolling snowballs hit.
English
Idk why but I feel like Joe Mauer will be doing the ‘Let’s Play Hockey’ chant for tonight’s game.
English
@RussoHockey @Ryan_Carter22 Why would you doubt that WBL Girls hockey news, like a new head coach, wouldn’t be a segment to discuss on the NHL network? Seems obvious to the rest of us.
English
@PaulCharchian I don’t think there’s really a case for it, but I get your point. This truly feels like their last stand. Home crowd, Home energy, comfort in the building, everybody pulling for what feels like a mini miracle.
There’s no shame if they lose 3 in a row, but today is your day.
English
If Ayo and Bones are significantly hindered, there’s a case for resting them to ensure they’re healthy for Game 7

UPDATED Minnesota @Timberwolves Status Report in advance of tonight’s Game 6 vs. Denver Nuggets: QUESTIONABLE Dosunmu- Right Calf Soreness Hyland- Left Knee Soreness OUT DiVincenzo- Right Achilles Tendon Repair Edwards- Left Knee Bone Bruise

@frank_seravalli IF is wasn’t an elimination game and/or it was anybody other then 38, it would have been.
Player safety is so inconsistent. This is equivocal to Austin Mathews.
English
This was the sequence. Deserved a suspension IMO.
English
#TexasHockey Jamie Benn was fined $2604.17 - the maximum allowable under the CBA - by @NHLPlayerSafety for his cross-check to the head of #mnwild Ryan Hartman in Game 5.
English
@MinnyHockey Maybe stated a different way: this has the opportunity to be the greatest deflection point in organizational history. A change in the long-term direction of the franchise. Could be a day we look back on with two or three Stanley cups stating GM 4, GM 5, and tomorrow started it.
English
Is Game 6 at home the biggest game in Wild history?
Given the roster, the circumstances, the opponent, the pressure, and the starving fanbase. What do you think? ⬇️⬇️
