    What even is offsides? Is it an abstract piece of art, performance art, or an interpretative dance?

  2. CloverleafSaint28

    Well, I guess that was a typical Minnesotan ending.

  3. Birdhairs

    When you give up that many shots you kinda just should be thankful for the 1 point

  4. No-Blackberry-2481

    If it take 3+ minutes to declare offsides you don’t have enough evidence to overturn it. Then to follow up on a bs call. Refs fucked us

  5. Another millimeter offside challenge, another lost game. The NHL is such a fucking joke.

    Aside from that, outstanding performance by Gus, but man the team has gotta wake the fuck up earlier

  6. BigPackHater

    I repeat…I can’t stress how embarrassing it is that we not only lost to CBJ.. but that they put up 50 SOG on us AT HOME

  7. HerbalAndy

    Whatever.. let’s be happy with our point.

    Gus made 2:1 saves over Elvis.. working twice as hard.

    Absolute game altering penalty call on that Zucc goal.

    Clutch Jojo goal which I have been waiting for.

    Everything will be okay once Spurg is back in a couple games.. then we can get a real assessment of this team.

    Whatever.. not to upset because at least they made it fun up until it wasn’t.

  8. Trainmanwildfan

    Despite the overturned goal, I felt this was the deserved result. It is hard to give up 50 shots and win, definitely need to tighten that up. That being said, it sucks to waste such a good performance by the Gus Bus

  9. freakyuseless

    Kap and Zuc looked like they were just coasting on that last shift

  10. JustaRoosterJunkie

    Man, the backend looks really bad with Spurg out. Faber is solid, and seeing some flashes of offense from Brodin, but Mids, Addy and Merrill look bad right now.

    To many shots allowed, not keeping the play to the outside and cement in their skates.

  11. MNGopherfan

    we need spurgeon back so bad rightnow it is unreal

  12. Lukedoesthings

    Felt like reffing really tilted the game momentum. Massive rally from the boys made it a fun game but you can’t rely on the bus to carry everyone like that

  13. Eastern_Tangerine_33

    How tf do we let 54 SOG happen? We need Spurge back so bad.

  14. HelicopterCrashScene

    Microscopic offsides, free penalty given to a flopper who should be playing soccer, I’m drunk and hate Columbus now

  15. Like I’m no expert, but maybe shoot the puck when your 2 feet from goal and the defenders are behind you…

  16. MinnesotaMilkman

    Alright. I know we didn’t deserve the dub but why in the ever living fuck did Addison get across the blue line then dump the puck in, IN FUCKING OVERTIME

  17. KaprizFox

    Unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable how they played tonight. This game was handed to them on a silver platter. Also one of the worst games I’ve seen 97 play. Awful. Dean better give it to them.

  18. mAnBeArPig417

    If the Wild can just outshoot the other team for once I will consider that a win.

  19. wistoon33

    Columbus is a bad team. Columbus was missing their best player. We lost to Columbus. Our defense is dire.

  20. Panarin10

    I dunno how a team that played last night put up 50+ shots on us. I guess it’s because they’re so much younger.

    1 goal after 5 games isn’t enough from the 3rd line.

    Game winner is why Dean usually has Ek with Kaprizov in OT.

  21. No_Head1056

    Nice 1.5 mi it’s shift by zucc in overtime where he passes up a clean shot then is too tired to backcheck and costs the team the game. Bad look for a vet

  22. Kap and Zuc missed some amazing opportunities in OT. They decided to play ticky tacky instead.

    Over 50 shots in goal and over 90 shot attempts.

    The team is looking anemic.

  23. Ok-Wrap2130

    Was at the game and the crowd was rolling. Energy kinda dies when there’s a four minute review to overturn our goal…

  24. Positive side: we got a point despite the refs succeeding in a huge momentum swing calling off a legal goal and then assessing a BS penalty that resulted in a ppg. But we didn’t quit and that’s the right mentality.

    Negative side: Gus was +0.01 GSAx, Merzlikins was -1.71 GSAx. We simply abandoned Gus in front of a firing squad and he nearly bailed us out.

    As per the offside, NHL 23-24 rulebook states, in the glossary, that:

    “The last player to physically touch the puck with his stick or body shall be considered in possession of the puck. (NOTE 1) A player can have possession of the puck without control, but he cannot have control of the puck without possession.”

    And in the off-side rule it is clearly stated that a player in control of the puck can be in the offensive zone before the puck and still be onside. The only argument for the overturn is that MoJo was in possession but not in control of the puck, but since MoJo was moving the puck with the stick and no player on the Blue Jackets touched it this argument is very weak and supports my belief that we were robbed of a legal goal.

    On a side note: is it bias or are we challenged and have overturned goals more often than league average?

    Oh and I also liked the few penalties against us. Only three were called (I think) and two of them were BS. Addison received one for being shoved to the ice, yes it was holding, but you should also call Jenner on that play. Ek received one for being Ek because the refs decided that overturning a legal goal wasn’t a momentum swing big enough.
