Matt Boldy is the first #mnwild player to score in each of the first four games of a season

Score a 5x5 goal challenge.
But that PP though...

So, I guess teams don't want to hit a leadoff home run on the first pitch they see. Because that's about all the offense they'll get.

0-2 in the CS round when that happens.

Amazing the composure for the Brewers players on the field for that wacky double play against the Dodgers.

Yet the Dodgers are here in part because a pitcher didn't throw a ball to first base.

Chaos at Miller Park.
(yes, that's what I call it)

Stop tossing the puck over the glass against the Wild challenge.

Blue Jays should have banked some of those runs from their first two ALDS games.

Hip Hop Jorge!
Polanco delivers another run and it's 3-1 Mariners

I feel this, too.

I can't remember watching a playoff series in which I was so equally cool with either team winning that it's preventing me from developing an even temporary, boredom-abating rooting interest.

FINAL: Blue Jackets 7, Wild 4

SOG: 52-32, Wild

A hat trick for Kirill Marchenko.
Zeev Buium with his first career NHL goal/point.
Kaprizov with a pair of goals and three points.
Wild score 4 PPGs.
hlrule.bsky.social
Wild have 50+ shots on goal and four goals, and yet...
hlrule.bsky.social
ENG for the Blue Jackets with 1:26 to play. It's 7-4.
hlrule.bsky.social
2:35 on the clock, Wild discuss things with an offensive zone faceoff coming and Gus out of the net.
hlrule.bsky.social
6-4. Kaprizov with his second of the game, tipping in a Rossi shot.

That's four PPGs for the Wild.

4:11 left in the third.
hlrule.bsky.social
Under six minutes to play, Wild outshooting the Blue Jackets 45-30 but trail 6-3.

Wild power play coming up.
hlrule.bsky.social
A couple delay of games, too many men, closing the hand on the puck, holding the stick... tonight's penalty list has everything.
hlrule.bsky.social
Off the faceoff, deflected... it's 6-3 Blue Jackets.

So, I guess they take the first set.
hlrule.bsky.social
First career NHL goal and NHL point to Zeev Buium on that tally. He was pumped.
hlrule.bsky.social
Zeev with the PPG for a 5-3 game with 10:06 left.

All three tallies for the Wild on the power play.
hlrule.bsky.social
5-2 game. Hatty for the other Kirill.
