My god this game got ugly with terrible shooting by both teams, its all Rudy tonight…

So Luka gets 2 fouls early, why didn’t we go at him the rest of the quarter to try and get him his 3rd?

My biggest issue is that overturning a call made on the ice is supposed to only happen when there’s a 100% certainty of proof with the video, the Nyquist call didn’t have that imo. The straight down the line camera was obstructed by the Vegas players glove and the side camera can’t show the true angle of the puck over the blueline, so there’s some doubt, minimal, but not 100% for sure…

Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe the offsides review was put into action years ago after Matt Duchesne scored and was like 3-4 feet blatantly offsides and none of the refs caught it and they couldn’t go back and change it…
The offsides challenge intent was a solution to correct an obviously blatant missed call like this one but as you’ve all pointed out, its now looking with 4K HD zoom for fractions of being offside…

I found the play, it was Matt Duchense, this is why they eventually allowed Offsides challenges a year or so later…

detailed answer to Russo’s first question of the post game press scrum…lol

Obviously he’s not going to dog his players… but come on…

I love that some Wild fans are taking to twitter and arguing the “Parallax Effect” influenced the off-side call because the down the line camera was obstructed by the Vegas players glove so they had to rely on the angled camera to make the decision and while the puck appeared to look over the blueline, it actually wasn’t…lol

aside from Ek the other two forwards are not the best in the D zone.

This is what I was getting at… Brazeau and Rossi are not competent defenders, Trenin at least plays physical, but defensive footspeed isn’t in his toolset… so why put them out with your 2 worst defenders?

Hynes and staff made the decision to put the 4th line out with the 3rd D pair…

So now are we questioning playing Rossi and benching Zeev?

Ignoring who the players are, do you really think its a smart decision to play your bottom Forwards and Defense together in OT? Both should be separately spot shifted on the fly in OT to give a 30-45 second break to the main groups ONLY when needed…

I can’t remember if the 4th line and 3rd D pair were put out for a D-zone faceoff or if they both got on the ice via a on-the-fly shift? Does anybody know?

The OT goal sort of reminded me of McDavid’s in the 4 Nations championship game… How the F do you leave a guy that wide open in the slot?…Just a mess of misplays by Bogosian/Rossi/Merrill…

Hynes and staff made the decision to put the 4th line out with the 3rd D pair…

what makes the offsides even worse is that Nyquist wasn’t even going to the net on the rush, he cut BEHIND Hartman, which makes cutting it so close at the blueline absolutely pointless…Hynes was asked the other day why Nyquist was still in the lineup and he said its because of his smarts and experience… omg…

This series will go 7 and probably go to OT again…

2 Vegas guys around 4 Wild guys, advantage Vegas… Hynes puts the 4th line out with 3rd D pair? “That’s a bold strategy Cotton”

I want to see the ugliest f’ing goal go in for the Wild… we deserve some puck luck tonight…

F’ing Nyquist… he finally made an impact in the playoffs…

I flowering knew it…

Lol, I obviously didn’t type flowering…

was Nyquist f’ing offsides?

Why is Gus out?
DT

sick..

Kinda looks like most guys have run out of gas…. Foligno doing nothing on his shifts…

Liking this period sofar… need Foligno to finally show up and get a greasy one…

Flower power time I guess… Boldy going to a whole other level…

This game feels like its gonna eventually go to OT…. Lets hope…

Yeah left the slot wide open, worked great. Vegas never saw it coming.

lol, they were literally dumbfounded…

Way better kill. So good job coaches ??

you saw whatever the hell they were doing the previous 2…

Jeepers our PK is just broken and clueless right now, Vegas just can’t capitalize on wide open players… wtf are our coaches?!?

Coaches finally adjusted

It sure looks like Middleton’s hand is jacked… he can’t shoot… maybe explains his f’up last game…

The 5 forward PP finally bites us… no idea what Kirill was doing on the backcheck skating to Boldy’s guy…

2 bad turnovers and a bonehead challenge gave Vegas the lead and momentum…

The gaps our D are giving their forwards would make a squirt coach cry…

Crazy thing is we’re outplaying/outchancing them sofar…

Hynes got talked into challenging that?

Lol, was typing out Kirill’s asking price dropped after that PP turnover…. Then he scores 8 seconds later to bump it back up

I am starting to get a feeling Rossi is not part of the core moving forward. Just a feeling.

yeah, its not looking good and feels like its irreparable (from the fans perspective, maybe Rossi is fine having to prove himself over and over again?… GMBG needs to nail a trade so we’re not freaking out a few years down the road if he takes off (which we will anyways)

The crazy part is that it likely needs to be a trade for another center (who’s likely alot older) so its more of a trade for the next 2-4 years, not long term…

Or maybe Marco caves and accepts the $5 x 5 offer to stay…
