Can we, maybe, get Plekanec on that top line? He's not a No. 1 center either, but he at least can get pucks on goal. I thought he was on the top line

I don't understand this play. They get possession, have bodies in front, but try to feather a low-percentage pass into a covered slot instead of taking the puck to the goal.

Wild are turning the puck over a ton. Need to get the transition game up and running.

The worst thing about Sekac not getting a lot of ice time, is that as the game goes on, he loses less speed and strength than anyone else. Amazing stamina on that guy. Use him to tire out the other team.

16-6 shots after one.
How many times this season have they given up over double digits in shots in one period? Our defense is terrifying.

They're saying we were outshot 16-6. Maybe, but it didn't feel like that. Do you not think we've had as many good chances as Minny, but maybe our shots haven't gotten through?
Markov missed the net entirely. Gallagher missed Galchy's pass in front and so on. I thought those were pretty good chances, as was Gilberts, though he hit Kuempers glove on that shot.

Agreed, zone time is probably similar. DD's line need to just throw it at the net and drive for the rebound. As usual, they f around looking for the cutesy play too much.

Sekac on DD's line? Or is that a slow change?

MT has Sekac on with patches and DD. I guess Eller gets PAP.

Greg Millen just said our forwards are taking off before the puck leaves the zone. Yes, but when you have an NHL player who can't make a clearing pass or chip, I think tha's the problem. The forwards are anticipating the puck leaving the zone otherwise they'd never get the jump on the other team.
Smart play by Allen to bounce the puck off the boards to Weise.

MT breaks up the best working line we have to get Patches and DD going. He's consistent.

Scarier than Price almost giving Parise the puck on that clearing pass was Emelin giving it right back after it deflected away. Yikes.

Price needs to show more urgency when playing the puck.

I think we were playing better in the first. We're not getting through in the 2nd and making more mistakes. I have to admit, our D are having to make some awfully long passes. The forwards could be back a bit and shorten that distance.

this game will end up 1-0. the wild will clog up the neutral zone and wait for a mistake.
