Well taking 2 pts in any divisional game is monumental at this juncture. Blues look a lot like the Wild. Play like world beaters one night and look completely overmatched the next.

I get the whole 'parity' bit and what not, but I just have a difficult time trying to figure out how these guys can show up ready to go one night and then look completely disinterested the next.

Yeah, it's a grind I'm sure, but these guys are the best players in the world. top 1% of the top 1%. Compete level has to be in their DNA. Yet some nights guys coast or maybe give 75-80%.

Wild need to continue play like last night and like the game against Vegas. It's on Boudreau at this point to keep these guys hungry. We've seen how well they can play when everything is clicking so there are no more excuses.

Yeah, I looked at Wild injury news hoping to hear Prosser was ok (glad he is) and was surprised to see Brodin is out 3-4 weeks with a broken hand. I definitely missed where that happened, sorry he is out.

I never saw that play either. Prosser looked bad but the shot that hit him looked like a fairly weak wrister. So I don't know.
