They got the win against a bad team. Not sure why they couldn't keep the pressure on like in the first. Made it much closer than it needed to be.

Wild win it! Started out great, sucked for a bit, but got the win. This type of play will not keep the fans involved when they are playing decent teams.

I fell asleep after the Boldy goal. Good to see them pull out a win. Now they just need to go 8-1-1 to make the playoffs
My body, my choice.

Kirill with the lone goal so far and our Wild lead Vegas 1-0 about mid way through the 3rd period...

Re: ***Official February/March Wild GDT***
I agree with the announcer…… Wild seem to be laying back a little in the third. To me that is not the way to success that they so desperately need right now, for every shift of the rest of the season.

Re: ***Official February/March Wild GDT***
Eichel got sent home early, was called for a 5:00 and game penalty for a spear on KK. It was a pay back for a cross check that Kirill had given him moments before, which wasn’t called. The spear by Eichel was not over the top aggressive by any means, but it was intentional, and the refs have no choice but to give him the boot, per the rule book.

Wild getting greatly outplayed here in the third, one shot on goal.

And there it is, VGK scores, ties it up. This is how it goes when you sit back on a one goal lead.

Only flipped on the last 4 minutes. How did they not see that high stick?

Wild try to pull the goalie again in OT and give up the empty netter. I believe that means no points. Season over.

For all of the shots they don’t take, that was the wrong one to take by Zucc.

Re: ***Official February/March Wild GDT***
I'm going under the premise that the white flag has been waved. Give him 2 or 3 games just to see where he's at and there's really nothing to lose. The terrible season start under Dean has proved to be the teams undoing and despite a decent year since then, this was never going to be a good team capable of a playoff run.Justin Kase wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 6:16 pmAs long as he’s ready…… I hear some say he’s not, some say he is. It’s a tough decision, hate to throw him to the wolves if he’s not ready, but how else will he know?

Since we won't be chatting about Wild games in May I've changed the thread title to simply just run through the rest of the season. What a joy it will now be watching our Wild solidify a mid first round draft pick.....

Season's over, but next Saturday I was given 2 suite tickets, food / alcohol / transportation provided, so I and my kid will be at the X one more time.
Hard to turn that down.
I won't be commenting though, since there's no thread for April games. .

He has speed. He can win puck drops. He only has one point (an assist) so offensively he hasn't done much. But he's been playing with linemates who haven't done much either. Seems to be better defensively than offensively right now. Maybe he can follow the Ek path to success.

Re: ***Official February/March Wild GDT***
Good points Bob. I admittedly was down on Ek his first couple of years and boy was that wrong! These 20 or so games Marat will end up playing should really be a help to him as he heads into the off season now knowing what to expect in the NHL. He'll be bigger, stronger, and wiser as next season begins and he'll also feel more comfortable living in Minnesota and also might have another Russian player or two with him next season in addition to Kirill. I have high hopes that he'll turn into a solid player.mnbob70 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2024 12:27 pmHe has speed. He can win puck drops.

Agreed about the culture change too. That's a bigger change for Russian players than those from other countries.

Hartsy with a 3 game suspension for throwing his stick out on the ice towards an official. There's something wrong with that guy...

It's fine that Hartman got 3 but the fact more dangerous plays routinely don't get at least double that is fucked up.
