Nate Dudgeon

@AlexPetersenHB6 @TonyLiebert He likely will be if they have him just be a spot up shooter, instead of a ball handler. He just wasn’t a good guard on a team that had great post players.

@dudgeonn8 @TonyLiebert UNC is probably my second favorite team outside of the Gophers. I just didn't think they used him correctly or to his strengths. I guess time will tell if MN uses him differently and what his stats look like.

Gophers incoming transfer portal class (latest 247Sports ratings update) Winters Grady: No. 225 OVR Kyan Evans: No. 327 Malick Kordel: No. 358 Malachi Palmer: No. 372 Nolan Groves: unranked 73rd-ranked transfer portal class in the country.

@AlexPetersenHB6 @TonyLiebert He got a ton of playing time early on in the season and they realized he wasn’t very good at scoring or setting up teammates. He was playing about 26 minutes averaging 6.5 ppg and 3.5 apg.

@TonyLiebert Always amazing to me how far a player drops after not getting playing time. Thanks Tony!

@Lebronbonbonbon @HowlDistrict @Avalanche @DriveToyota They were lucky to outscore Dallas 12-4 in even strength goals the last 5 games? 14-6 throughout the series.

@dudgeonn8 @HowlDistrict @Avalanche @DriveToyota They were reliant on luck

Force of Nature vs. Adjective

@Lebronbonbonbon @HowlDistrict @Avalanche @DriveToyota Wild didn’t score on that, much like most of the PPs they got all series. They weren’t reliant on special teams to win games.

@HowlDistrict @Avalanche @DriveToyota x.com/roberttiffin/s… Refs won’t have your side as much vs the Avs, baby boy, we’ll make this a short series

@BenMcCallem @pirner_mason @kaston_c26777 @NHL I couldn’t clearly identify any of the penalties tonight. Not a single one looked like a clear penalty. The only difference all series was that the Stars scored 3 5 on 5 goals.

@pirner_mason @kaston_c26777 @NHL it doesnt matter about today. it was the entire series. the series could have been over in 5, instead it was completely turned around. This has been the story each of the last 5 years for dallas. The NHL doesnt want them to win the cup.

STATE OF HOCKEY APPROVED!!! 🤩 #StanleyCup

@GoHeels1990 @iAmKingTristan_ @ClutchSportsUNC There is absolutely no way to have any idea how good or bad this upcoming team will be. We have yet to see a single player perform in whatever Malone’s system will look like. But at least they’ve landed some of their top targets, so there’s hope.

@iAmKingTristan_ @ClutchSportsUNC So negativity stops when the black head coach is gone? It’s all sunshine and rainbows and we’re a supportive loving fanbase?

Kentucky is what everyone thought UNC was.

@MooseTheDog5 @i_am_tedpool @ibamboozIe It’s 10-3 in this series even strength goals. If that’s not being better then what the heck is?

@i_am_tedpool @ibamboozIe They literally aren’t the better 5 on 5 team though

They’ve spent 30% of the game on the power play and they’re chanting “Ref you suck”

@FsMetal @ANoetzelman @_IxDontxCare_ @NHL @espn @Sportsnet @TVASports How would a goalie attempt to make a save on a puck behind his back? Would he glove save or blocker save that?

@dudgeonn8 @ANoetzelman @_IxDontxCare_ @NHL @espn @Sportsnet @TVASports Shooting the puck and getting on top of the goalie so he can't even attempt to make a save

MINNESOTA STAYS WILD!!! 🤩 Game 5 of this #StanleyCup Playoff matchup is TUESDAY at 8p ET on @espn 2, @Sportsnet, & @TVASports 2!

@FsMetal @ANoetzelman @_IxDontxCare_ @NHL @espn @Sportsnet @TVASports On a player shooting the puck into the net before seriously contacting the goalie?

@dudgeonn8 @ANoetzelman @_IxDontxCare_ @NHL @espn @Sportsnet @TVASports It was still goaltender interference that wasn't called. It should not have counted

@TheBetus21MK For what ? The puck was in the area of the push. Benn has slew footed multiple times and cross checked a player in the back of the head with no penalty. Then drawn a penalty for hitting himself with his own stick. What’s wrong with this push?

@RobertTiffin Easiest goalie interference all ever. Wild got lucky Ek didnt get a penalty out of that situation.

Puck goes in, but no goal. Heiskanen hit into Oettinger. Wild don't challenge the call.

@ze_antagonizer @BackSeatGamer97 @_IxDontxCare_ @NHL @espn @Sportsnet @TVASports How many even strength goals do the Stars have all series? 3. Thats pathetic as hell.

@BackSeatGamer97 @_IxDontxCare_ @NHL @espn @Sportsnet @TVASports How many goals do the Wild have that aren’t fluke bounces?

@FsMetal @ANoetzelman @_IxDontxCare_ @NHL @espn @Sportsnet @TVASports There has never been a call of checking a player into the goalie on a puck on the area of the play until this game. Even strength goals in this series are 10-3. The Stars would be in hell if not for PP goals.

@ANoetzelman @_IxDontxCare_ @NHL @espn @Sportsnet @TVASports it's obvious. The refs did not call goaltender interference on something that was fucking obviously goaltender interference

@DTuckly88 @badabooski @Gibberushhh @spittinchiclets For a guy that’s committed 2 slew foots and cross checked a guy in the back of head I’d expect him to react like he got hit in the face by an opponents stick.

@dudgeonn8 @badabooski @Gibberushhh @spittinchiclets I agree that shouldn’t have been a call but how would you react if a stick hit you in the face lmao.

MATT BOLDY WINS IT IN OVERTIME AND THE WILD HAVE TIED THE SERIES 2-2 🔥

@DTuckly88 @badabooski @Gibberushhh @spittinchiclets Seems like they can’t score when they aren’t fooling the refs. Benn took his own stick to his face and was rewarded for it tonight

@badabooski @Gibberushhh @spittinchiclets Seems like good execution 🤷‍♂️

@KelcyMahomes @LeviCol37409830 @spittinchiclets It’s 10-3 in even strength goals this series. Obviously you can blame the Wild for their deficiencies, but it’s clear the PP is the only thing the Stars have going for them.

@LeviCol37409830 @spittinchiclets Yo retards literally booed a neutral ice clear cause you thought it was a penalty. Thats how retarded you losers are. Also, don’t take penalties moron. All 3 of your goals tonight were luck/flukes

@Bryvllo @jetparker23 @AnthonyLaPanta I mean the goals are 10 - 3 at even strength in this series. Eliminate the PP for both teams and it’s pretty one sided. With that said, penalties obviously happen and are an important part of the game. Wild have been awful on their PP.

@jetparker23 @AnthonyLaPanta Name 1 thing the Wild are doing even average at this point? Offense….bottom tier well below average, Defense…..poor, Dallas literally spent 5 straight minutes in the offensive zone. Special teams…..it literally couldn’t get worse, 0 shots on 4 power plays

Ridiculous. Benn dives and draws a penalty

@christianlpryor @Robert_Schroe @WillRagatz That seems like a tough thing for a ref to see clearly in real time. But then a player can barrel into them as long as they are just outside of it?

@dudgeonn8 @Robert_Schroe @WillRagatz If even a millimeter of the goalies skate is in the crease, he’s considered in the crease. I will admit I didn’t see the play because I was with family, but the rules are that if any part of his body is in the crease, he has that protection.

Here we go again with these Dallas PPGs... Hockey people, was that a fair penalty on Hartman? Looked to me like he was just driving the net and couldn't stop in time because Oettinger was on the edge of the crease

@Robert_Schroe @WillRagatz Even if a goalie isn’t in his crease? I like hockey but I didn’t play and don’t know every rule. Is he afforded that protection if he’s not in his safe areas?

@WillRagatz The people that are homers in these comments, it was a penalty. When you’re driving to the net, you’re responsible for not running into the goalie. He wasn’t pushed like someone in here said either. It was a correct call

@sevenpin76 @minnesotafan199 @RussoHockey Boldy spent the rest of the period in the locker room

@minnesotafan199 @RussoHockey I don’t see anyone injured in this game

Big mock cheer for the refs after catching Robertson with a high-sticking penalty after no calls on Benn's hit to the back of Boldy's head and Benn high-sticking Yurov shortly before the 2-0 goal
