I just thought Calgary put up a good fight. As far as the “well orchestrated struggle,” I couldn’t have put it better. That team looks like it’s completely opposed to making plays of any sort. The plan seems to be all dump-n-chase, or create-a-fracas-and-hope-for-the-best, if they don’t look altogether lost. I thought the PP was well executed, except they need to SHOOT THE PUCK. It’s just hard to know what to make of the team right now.

there were a lot of decent passes at best and failed “potential” opportunities for scoring chances (IMO) … to me what makes it an ugly win is that Calgary is possibly the worst team in the league and we / Wild struggle to score (AGAIN) and have to win in an OT shoot out. Not once yet have the Wild dominated a game from start to finish and scored at will. Would like to see the Wild win 4-1 or so next time against Calgary in a weeks time.

either way, i’ll take the win but eventually this team needs to man the F up and grow a pair. Each game has looked like a well orchestrated struggle to me. Can’t tell if this is on the players or coaching staff or both.

I’m glad the Wild won but I definitely zoned out a few times while trying to watch the game.

Lots of hits, decent number of shots, fairly evenly matched. What did I miss?
