Locked on Wild POSTCAST: Wild Special Teams Erodes in Another Disastrous 4-0 Loss to Dallas



The Minnesota Wild surrendered two shorthanded goals and a Power Play goal in a 4-0 loss to the Stars, and Matt Murray recorded his first NHL shutout in net for Dallas as the Wild lost for the 5th time in 6 games. The Wild trailed 1-0 after one period on a shorthanded goal by Roope Hintz. Tyler Seguin, Radek Faksa and Jason Robertson scored in the third period to back Murray, who only needed to make 10 saves the final two periods after stopping 13 in the first. Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 16 of 20 shots in the loss. The Wild play Dallas on the road on Wednesday for their next game.

  1. Alrighty. BG's mad scientist master plan is this. He's not going to tank on purpose but he is using the NMCs to slowly let vets and fourth liners go and bring kids up to get mentored by them before they leave while also securing us decent draft picks hopefully to bolster the pipeline and maybe get another Faber-esque stud right out of the draft.. This should coincide with the foreign kids coming over 1 or 2 at a time over the next 3 years and also signing Kaprizov again once our Russian investments get here. Then we are going to be young and fast and skilled. It'll be a metamorphosis before our very eyes. There never was any realistic potential to win until the heavy buyout penalties are over and he knew this 100%.

    Think about it, next year Goski is gone and Merrill the year after, bring up Lambos and possibly Hunt. Duhaime and Maroon are gone most likely. Bring in one of the foreigners and perhaps Beckman to play 4th line. And so on and so forth the next few years. You feel me?

    Sort of a conspiracy and I didn't fully explain myself articulately kuz I'm trying to be timely but I hope that makes sense. Maybe I'm dumb and this was common knowledge to everybody already.

  2. Is it to late to bring back Dean Evason? Is Billy Guerin still in the witness protection program? Inquiring minds want to know!

  3. Their reluctance to shoot mystifies me. Out of the four games played tonight, they had more shots on goal than one team…their opponent.

  4. People say just tank. How does a person and especially a professional athlete that strives on competition actually go out and play to lose? That shouldn’t even be in their vocabulary. Or is it just an expression people use because a team is struggling and they want the better draft choice? It takes a team, not just one person. All in my opinion of course 😊

  5. look at all these hillbillies showing up here to talk crap LOL…..I've been stationed in that terrible state 3 times during my career, and I can assure everyone here that no self-respecting old-timer from Texas even watches hockey, and clearly neither does about 90% of the state…they aren't fooling anyone LOL. Bandwagon fans at best. They probably weren't even alive when the North Stars was sold to that waste of space down south. The Stars are going to get bounced hard out of the playoffs this year, and we'll be the ones laughing once Pavelski retires and the Stars becomes mid at best..again. Have a nice day, ya bandwagon chumps!
