The Florida game yesterday Illustrated just how far away the Wild really are from winning, If It wasn't for Evason's magic behind the bench we might very well be 6 and 11.

Gotta have these games! Brian Elliott Is one of the worst goaltenders I have seen over the last decade and add to that Tampa was without Vasilevskiy, Cernak, Kucherov, And Point. No excuses tonight! Jersey won't be an easy out either, The Devils have more talent than the Wild.

This was an exciting finish. The Florida teams learned that the Wild never quit. I guess the reason Fiala is getting benched is due to the sloppy turnovers. He’s had careless turnovers his whole time with the Wild.

The Wild have good bottom six depth but not top six and top D depth. So if Spurgeon is out for long or they lose another key player, it will be a tough slog for them. They’re D men were pretty solid without Spurgeon. They didn’t pinch like they did against the Panthers resulting in all those odd man rushes. I really liked the energy that Duhaime, Pitlick and Greenway brought. Greenway deserved a goal the way he played in Florida.

Well said Minnyhock. Still number 3 overall in the West. Playing back to backs against the champs and the team with the best record in the NHL, they got a point and were in both games. The Wild continue to prove they are a playoff time and exciting to watch!
