This is a team that has given the Wild trouble over the past couple of years. I think the Wild were winless against them in three meetings last season as they were with most of the bottom feeders in the Pacific conference. Their goaltending is mediocre at best, their blueline is mediocre at best, and at forward they have about three legitimate NHL players (one of which has played about 5 NHL games). If (and it's a big if) the Wild can put together a full 60 minute game they should come away with two points.

[Jimtown guy]

Walz had high praise for Boeser. Says he will be the face of the franchise for years to come and will score 50 at some point in his career. Thanks for reminding me how the Wild screwed up by not drafting him

[Jimtown guy]

Nino needs a wake up call. What a terrible turnover. Thank you Doobs for saving his ass.

[Jimtown guy]

WTF are you doing Suter. Terrible start. 1-0 Nucks

[Miley Cyrus]

Sheist

[Jimtown guy]

Greenway with his first goal of the year. That weekend in Iowa apparently did him good.

[Clubhouseleader]

Terrible call

[Clubhouseleader]

Terrible call

[Clubhouseleader]

Oops, I guess they did call both guys

[Jimtown guy]

Penalty shot damnit

[LwnmwrMan222]

Penalty shot damnit

Or not.

[Jimtown guy]

Penalty shot damnit

Or not.

Looked pretty clear to me it should of been

[LwnmwrMan222]

Wait what? I turned on the news then turned back and there's no penalty. Was there nothing called at all?

[Jimtown guy]

Believe it or not no

[Jimtown guy]

Doobs would like that one back.

[Hornets]

Terrible turn of events....we poop our pants on a 4 minute PP, Staal gets a questionable penalty, Nucks score....ugh

[Hornets]

Terrible job of getting the puck out and now down 3-1

[Miley Cyrus]

Dooby reacted awfully slow on the third one. 1st game on the West coast wan't gonna come easy.

[LwnmwrMan222]

Dooobs needs a bigger glove. He gets beat high glove side a lot

[Miley Cyrus]

Game on.

[Ron Burgundy 4 President]

1st round bust Jake Virtanaen scores like he does everytime these two teams play. Hopefully we get a good push in the 3rd because this Nucks team in injured and quite honestly not good.

[Ron Burgundy 4 President]

Dooby reacted awfully slow on the third one. 1st game on the West coast wan't gonna come easy.

Well, this is about as easy as it's gonna get on the trip so there's that...........

Just realized they have 4 games in a row in different time zones. Odd scheduling so far.

[Ron Burgundy 4 President]

Markstrom playing like shit per usual, flailing around, kicking out fat rebounds, but the Wild can't beat him as often as they should.

[Ron Burgundy 4 President]

Coyle wide open in the slot and completely misses the net from 6 feet away against a scrub of an NHL goalie that should be in nobody's head.

[Ron Burgundy 4 President]

Greenway's stick slashed in half. No call.

[Ron Burgundy 4 President]

Vintage Wild road game against and inferior and ice cold opponent. I have no doubt we'll see a better effort from the boys tomorrow, hopefully it translates into a win.
