Wild finally came to life late in the period. One great look for Hartman.
1-1 after two
Avs have had the better of the play and the chances, but Wally terrific (1.90 saves above expected through two periods)
Wild in a spot where winning a period can square the series!
@RussoHockey@AnthonyLaPanta Headed to Vegas again next week. I hit up Herb & Rye last time. Bavette is booked up. What else do you have for food recommendations?
@jimmy_19821793@emaloneye@BizNasty2point0 Seems like you've struggled with this basic concept for some time now Jimmy. This is getting more and more embarrassing.....
Love you @BizNasty2point0 but what are you talking about during this intermission??? Folignos check on Mackinnon wasn't even remotely close to a cross check or boarding!!! It's a soft call to keep the Avs in the game
@b_maloney92@BizNasty2point0@emaloneye Gotta love the defense for one of your players doing something dirty is always "but what about when X did something worse!" It's tired. He was talking about that particular play. Stop bringing up other shit.
@BizNasty2point0@emaloneye What's frustrating from us "homers" is when Mackinnon actually boards Boldy in game 2 and TNT highlights it as Avs being physical and then Foligno's penalty gets highlighted as a penalty on the intermission.
@emaloneye Cross check was on malinski right before that stop being a homer. Then he runs MacKinnon from behind. Had to called. Got away with the cross check first.
Wild game started to look better last half of the second. Last ten minutes of the period were their best ten of the game.
Need a couple momentum shifts from Folignos line early in the third to change the tone.
Have to start by keeping Avs at three.
I’m guessing we see 97-12-36 together in third.
@HinesThomas8@AlexMicheletti Start scrumming it up after the whistle then. Get under their skin. We'll lose in 4 or 5 games if we don't change what we're doing.
@HinesThomas8@AlexMicheletti Not playing to our identity either. We're playing to the Avs speed and skill. Gotta muck it up and finish every check and then some.
@AlexMicheletti We assembled a team to beat Dallas. We then forgot we had to play Colorado next. This team isn’t built to play against this style. Mackinnon vs Hartman as 1C??
