It would be great if for the first time since the 2016-17 season the Wild didn't let McKinnon and Rantanen destroy them. That might be a lot to ask though, McKinnon already has a stat line that will looks like Charlie Coyle's will by game 72 and Varlamov (wife beater) is one of the few goalies that's playing just as good as Doobs. Colorado did play (and win) last night so they are on the second leg of a back to back. Hopefully that means they'll be running in fumes by the third period, but I wouldn't count on that. It would be a big two points to bank though with the big 7 game road trip on deck, this division yet again is no joke.

FYI: Bulldogs beat #1 Notre Dame in their own building last night. That was a big boy game.

Decent period by the Wild but still go into the intermission down 1-0. Wild didn't get many chances themselves but for the most part seemed to keep the Divealanhe's top line in check minus a boneheaded giveaway by Granny who luckily was bailed out by Doobs. It was just one period, but it was much better than what we've seen when these teams play in quite some time. Two periods to get back into this thing.

Wild evened the score in period two, we'll go to the final frame tied 1-1. Much better period at even strength but have taken too many penalties, they'll need to clean that up in the third as Colorado is pretty good with the man advantage.

Solid win against a team that is red hot and against a division rival important that the job was done in 60 minutes robbing them of any points. They needed to have the kind of record that they now have before going on this big road trip up next. Maybe the best game start to finish that we've seen all season from them. Through the first 10 days or so of the season, it didn't look like it would happen. Last year this team was finished all too often if they didn't score first, this year they are still coming away with points even if they fall behind. Hope that continues because it will need to.
