Short a D already with klingberg down the tunnel . 

is it a bad thing?

On the point on the PP maybe. I am a better defenseman on defense as he is and I can't skate. ? 

 

Pretty sure that was the first goal Dallas has scored with Klingberg on the ice. 

 

So you can be snarky about 95% of of Wild players and I get snarky about 1 and you give me grief ? 

 

Just spittin facts. I didn't even dispute your ability to outplay him.

It started with the thought of "how sad is it that Klingberg has been better than most of the dmen"?

The Wild being the better 5 on 5 team is no longer true.

Have to get some shots first. 11 through 24 minutes ain't gonna cut it.

I didn’t think this Wild team could surrender 3 in a row to anyone. Way to prove me wrong in the worst way.

I think Spurgeon has been so bad that Evason benched Dumba again

If I told you Marchment and Domi would have more points in the series than Boldy and Kaprizov I think predicting the winner would be easy math.

Sounds like Dumba never came back to the bench after the second intermission.

How is this any different than any of the last several Wild seasons???

We got rid of the "cancers" Parise and Suter, and yet the team performance is nearly identical when it matters most.

Our special teams continue to be abysmal.

If no changes are made in the offseason, I have a real hard time getting excited about this team for the next 2 years.

$14.8M in dead cap hit for 2 more seasons.

Dean Evason is now 0-8 in playoff series as a head coach

When you spend the entire time whining about the refs and the calls, rather than making adjustments or maybe... coaching??  

I don't care whether the whining was justifiable or not.  When you get caught up in that noise, it creates a distraction rather than focusing on the task at hand.

One of the color commentary guys had it the other night, they've never seen a coach look so frustrated every time they scanned the bench as Evason in this series.  It just seeps negativity into everything and everyone around them.  He played right into the distraction Dallas was trying to create.

That's a pretty damning stat. He doesn't have a lot to work with, but losing 3 straight, two of which were on home ice, is on the guys wearing the uniforms. 

What a huge letdown for the paying customers.

It's pretty hard to get your team loose when your a-hole is puckered that tight.

It's not a coincidence that 3 years in a row the Wild looked like the better team early in the series only to see the other team make some adjustments and then completely dominate the Wild at the end of the series.

The players deserve their share of the blame, and there's plenty of it, but Dean Evason has more than proved that he has no idea how to coach playoff hockey

It feels a little bit like they were playing with house money this year. I was surprised they even made the playoffs and  by their late season run after KK went down. I can't say I'm even surprised at all by the collapse. That's Wild hockey.

It's too bad they couldn't match Florida's performance. They took care of business at home to force a Game 7. They gave themselves a chance to pull off a stunner against the NHL's best team.

Not joking, I’d rather they sucked and were in discussion for Bedard. This is pointless and stupid. There’s nothing gained from making it and getting embarrassed every year.

I would rather watch an entertaining season than see them put a garbage product on the ice in hopes of pulling a winning lottery ticket. It's the getting rid of young exciting talent in favor of old, unskilled, "character" that gets me worked up.

The coaching is 100% suspect and I hope they make a change.  How much is he responsible for their best offensive talent again completely disappearing in the playoffs?

Hard to really see what they're going to do next year given the cap constraints. would imagine it's a middling year and then they shop the old guys like foligno and zuccarello at the deadline (and maybe Hartman). Then the year after it maybe gets a little easier after Flowers contract also comes off the books in addition to those 3 but realistically this team is hamstrung until the 2 deadweight contracts come off the books given you have 50 million tied into 5 guys plus those 2 contracts. Unfortunately Spurgeon is only going to get worse and will be hitting his further decline with 7.5 mil invested in him until he's 37. At some point you have to clean house where you can and I'd do it this year while you still have Kaprizov under contract for 3 more so you're getting ready preparing for something bigger his last year under contract rather than just starting the rebuild.

And 2003 since multiple series wins, right?  It's a neck and neck race between this franchise and the Timberpups.
