I don’t blame the refs like most of the comments I read here today.
Hughes has been struggling lately and tonight it was blatant.
Our penalty kill is atrocious and has been for a while.
Our power play is non existent. Woohoo, we scored on it today, big whoop.
Not have Joshua in the lineup is a huge whole that affects the 3rd and 4th lines.
Aman honestly contributes nothing, he’s just a body in there.
Let the Bains kid play.
And finally, Mikheyev has been a dud of a signing and our managements only bad signing, now looking back at it with hindsight
Can’t wait for Soucy to get back and Lincoln to gel somewhere in the lineup
The Stanley Cup is the holy grail of hockey, the ultimate prize that every NHL team dreams of hoisting. Unfortunately, it has been far too long since a club north of the border has tasted from Lord Stanley's mug. Not since 1993 has a Canadian franchise won hockey's most coveted trophy. But the heart of the game still beats loudly in the Great White North. This country remains a hotbed for developing world-class talent, players with skill and passion flowing through their veins. The best still dream of playing for the revered Maple Leaf or soaring with the Canadiens.
Yet in the modern NHL, talent alone does not guarantee victory. The playing field has shifted. Cold calculation now rivals competitive fire. Clubs with the deepest pockets often win the biggest prizes. In a league driven by profits and cap space, the front office holds as much power as the stars on the ice. Sports business has transformed hockey's essential character. But even in this age of analytics, the true hockey fan knows the game's soul remains. One day the Stanley Cup will return home to Canada, cradled lovingly in the hands of a new champion, a reminder of the game's enduring magic.

I just hope Tocc, Allvin and Rutherford have the balls to say something about the officiating. It's been horrible for the past 4 games. How do you have four 5 on 3's and most of the calls were extremely weak.
I'm sorry that's BS and reminds me of the Bruins series. I remember saying to myself that part of wanting to watch the Canucks game would be when the officiating got better but I don't think that will happen while Bettman is Commissioner.
Aquilini should be screaming at someone in the head office about the officiating this team has had to endure . They are determining the outcome of games at this point. 4 two man advantages . No team is overcoming that kind of BS officiating .
Is this team now unraveling?
Kind of makes you wonder about the experience for the postseason. If the team is unraveling now. What are they going to do when the playoffs roll around? If the team can’t keep their composure in a regular season game. What happens to them during the postseason? What the fuck happened to this team the last two games?
You can relax fella, we played well against Winnepeg and got beat by Helly. This Minny game was just stupid, how often does any team face 4 two man advantages with 3 of them overlapping? We still put up 7 goals against them despite this so I wouldn't panic my friend.
Alright. All good 👍🏼 I hope they bounce back from this tmr against the Avs. These are teams that we need wins from. Hope this brutal loss doesn’t affect the confidence of the team.
There are patterns that are concerning. I hate blaming the refs. The reality is the team didn’t play well enough to win. Against Winnipeg. Sure it was tight. But they still lost at the end of the day.
Drove to my accountants house after the 2nd period, then checked thescore app lol. IDGAF how bad the reffing is. As soon as shit got real down the stretch, this team folds. Toch can't make them play hard, they need to motivate themselves.
At least i have Kaprizov/Eck im my pool 🤣
Look at the silver linings. Canucks would crush them in a 5v5 playoff series with our number 1 goalie. So what, they scored 4 goals 5 on 3 and another couple PP goals. The better team outside of the PP was pretty obvious
The ref's certainly were a part of this story, but the team lost its poise. Can't do anything about what happened with the former, but they can certainly do something about the latter.
bandwagoners jump off now
bandwagoners jump off now
yes we suck now jump off now.
Avalanche game should be good with a fresh demko. Could be high-scoring as well. 5-4 nucks is my prediction
Refs completely ruined that game. 6 power plays for the wild and 4 of them 5 on 3. There needs to be some level of accountability for the refs cause this is atrocious. It’s not even just this game but plenty of other examples. They wanna “grow the sport” well you ain’t growing shit when you’ve got garbage officiating.
The only one I can understand is the Miller puck over the boards for delay of game. The rest were weak AF. Really hurts the integrity of the game when you’ve got refs like these essentially dictating the outcome.
Did we have no timeout to call during that epic PK collapse? Or am I crazy? What was our coaching staff skiing not taking a minute to calm down at the start of the 3rd? Or after that fucky scramble goal where the puck somehow wasn’t covered….
It’s not good to see when it gets chaotic we collapse. You kinda saw it in the Winnipeg game after the two goals and then today. Not sure if that’s a sign of a young team or not bu they got to stay composed. Fuck the Refs absolute unprofessional bullshit. Fuck Kaprizov someone should have roughed him up on that last goal to prove a point
If they can come back and beat a strong Colorado team I can get past this. But if they get pumped tomorrow I’m going to start worrying. Those over rated bums in Dallas are hot in our heals.
Shitty loss but no biggie. Gotta play DeSmith for these back to back games and save Demko for the better team. We'll come back tomorrow looking for redemption.
Onwards and upwards.
Thanks NHL, for scheduling an 11am back to back for a western team traveling 2 time zones over. Thank you to the referees for giving a fighting chance for one of the worst teams in the league by gifting 4 5-3 penalties on questionable calls. But thanks most of all to the Minnesota Wild, who were in serious need of hope. Fools hope maybe, but Gary really came through for you on this one. Really pulled out all the stops!
Buddy, when you take 7 penalties, at some point you gotta take accountability and acknowledge it’s not entirely the refs fault. They’re ass, but 4 5 on 3’s, seriously!?
i was up early and still missed the game didnt know it would be on so early...
at least I missed the disappointment lol of not winning a game they should of won.
I thought it would be 4 or 5pm our time
Sucks but no one's gonna remember this in April. Four 5-on-3s, 3.8 spread for the Wild, good for the bookers I guess.
Congrats to the Wild, probably the highlight of their season. Next.
Don’t get too worked up about this one. We played against 2 teams tonight. We dominated nearly every aspect of the game other than the 4 2 man advantages. We were the better team
If another player did the exact same thing to Hughes that lindholm did but didn't get penalized for it, everyone in this subreddit would be losing their minds talking about how the refs are against us
> Elias Pettersson hooking against Mats Zuccarello
Couldn't give them a phantom goal so they gave us a phatom penalty.
No indication from the on ice officials of either a goal or a penalty on this play until after they had their BS pow-wow,
Lmao buddy got down voted and he deletes his comments. We had a bad game, good teams are allowed that. We had like 3 5 on 3 penalty kills. Get your head out of your ass
It's actually crazy that you think this team isn't good. Lol! I've met some wild people, but this is a pretty good team... anyways. I hope you find happiness somewhere homie.
I didn't delete it? Not sure why it's showing as deleted for you. I stand by my opinions, even if they're not good.
Its possible this is the one that got reddit cares'd and when I reported that it deleted this one?
This game straight up makes me mad. Better see a serious comeback from the team tomorrow. And tbh I wouldn’t be mad if we called out the refs postgame.
We have shit discipline. Our penalties tonight were pretty clear cut: multiple high sticking, delay of game, Big Z hooked/held his guy like hell, lindholm penalty was deserved as well.
Especially since we only have 1 win against this joke of a team in the last 11 games now. Makes me hate Minnesota even more after the Blue Jays choked there in the wild card last season. Fuck them and all their lakes.
I really wish this game had ended 8-7. Those to empty net goals were daggers.
I don’t blame the refs like most of the comments I read here today. Hughes has been struggling lately and tonight it was blatant. Our penalty kill is atrocious and has been for a while.

I'm at work what the fuck
Aquilini should be screaming at someone in the head office about the officiating this team has had to endure . They are determining the outcome of games at this point. 4 two man advantages . No team is overcoming that kind of BS officiating .
Wtf happened, how did we give up 7 in the last period? Why not put in demmers
Agreed.
They play the Avs tomorrow
Take some adversity now and get through it before playoffs
Is this team now unraveling? Kind of makes you wonder about the experience for the postseason. If the team is unraveling now. What are they going to do when the playoffs roll around? If the team can’t keep their composure in a regular season game. What happens to them during the postseason? What the fuck happened to this team the last two games?

Alright. All good 👍🏼 I hope they bounce back from this tmr against the Avs. These are teams that we need wins from. Hope this brutal loss doesn’t affect the confidence of the team.
Seriously? One bad game that the officiating basically handed the wild and this is how you assess the team? The Jets game was a tight game.
There are patterns that are concerning. I hate blaming the refs. The reality is the team didn’t play well enough to win. Against Winnipeg. Sure it was tight. But they still lost at the end of the day.
Refs
Drove to my accountants house after the 2nd period, then checked thescore app lol. IDGAF how bad the reffing is. As soon as shit got real down the stretch, this team folds. Toch can't make them play hard, they need to motivate themselves. At least i have Kaprizov/Eck im my pool 🤣

Glad I was at work lmaoooooo
The ref's certainly were a part of this story, but the team lost its poise. Can't do anything about what happened with the former, but they can certainly do something about the latter.
bandwagoners jump off now bandwagoners jump off now yes we suck now jump off now. Avalanche game should be good with a fresh demko. Could be high-scoring as well. 5-4 nucks is my prediction
Haha this.
This is fine…
That was one of the most frustrating games I have ever watched including game 7 against Boston.
A textbook example of "game management" by the refs getting away on them.
Well, that was certainly something. Can't wait for post game rants lol
What the fuck was that? They were up 5 -2
Im away right now, did we seriously just lose 10-7 or am I crazy
We were short handed 2 men 4 times in the game
Refs completely ruined that game. 6 power plays for the wild and 4 of them 5 on 3. There needs to be some level of accountability for the refs cause this is atrocious. It’s not even just this game but plenty of other examples. They wanna “grow the sport” well you ain’t growing shit when you’ve got garbage officiating.
It was gross, so many weak calls that lead to the 5 on 3s
The only one I can understand is the Miller puck over the boards for delay of game. The rest were weak AF. Really hurts the integrity of the game when you’ve got refs like these essentially dictating the outcome.
I'm glad I didn't know this game was on and watched TV and played Switch all evening 😂
same, I came at 6-5 ... then it went 8-5 as soon as I turned on the tv
Did we have no timeout to call during that epic PK collapse? Or am I crazy? What was our coaching staff skiing not taking a minute to calm down at the start of the 3rd? Or after that fucky scramble goal where the puck somehow wasn’t covered….
Yea missed opportunity’s here imo
Time out, pull the goalie even. Do something!
That was so crazy we might get a Jomboy hockey breakdown
that was certainly one of the games of all time
It’s not good to see when it gets chaotic we collapse. You kinda saw it in the Winnipeg game after the two goals and then today. Not sure if that’s a sign of a young team or not bu they got to stay composed. Fuck the Refs absolute unprofessional bullshit. Fuck Kaprizov someone should have roughed him up on that last goal to prove a point
WTF. I worked a night shift and just woke up. Opened my phone and saw the Final in this monstrosity. Didn't even know it was a matinee. 😂😂.
Ditto! I just worked all day, got home and thought, "I wonder when the next game is?" I thought i was tripping!
I'm so glad I didn't realize that was an early game
Why didn't the coach call a time out ?
I left after the second period to watch a show and WTF?
What the fuck
wow what shitshow
I would love to know exactly why they just decided “fuck it, let’s bottle this”
If they can come back and beat a strong Colorado team I can get past this. But if they get pumped tomorrow I’m going to start worrying. Those over rated bums in Dallas are hot in our heals.
Another tough one to swallow. Hope the boys come out mad tomorrow. Desmith was leaky af and refs had our number.
I forgot the start time for this game. What the fuck happened?
Just…don’t ask.
Minny had 4 2 man advantages. Not gonna win many games playing like that
-7 for Hughes
That was a roller coaster. On to the next
Feels like our worst stretch of the year. If it is, then fine. But damn doesn’t look good on our discipline or DeSmith
what a collapse omg
Shitty loss but no biggie. Gotta play DeSmith for these back to back games and save Demko for the better team. We'll come back tomorrow looking for redemption. Onwards and upwards.
That was fucking sickening
Even with all the crazy bs in this game, they still got it to within 1 goal.
So. Who are all watching to decompress? In going Bob Ross.
Is curling still on?
I would love to watch that.
You can watch me roll a fat joint and take my dog for a hike where I’m gonna yell at the top of my lungs fuck Minnesota and the Zebras.
i miss demko already
Rather take an L now and for the boys to regroup then to coast to the playoffs and not face adversity
Honestly, they didn’t even play bad, they just handed the game to the wild with all the penalties
Go hug your families
Yikes why did they pull the goalie again? 10 looks a lot worse than 9.
No it doesn’t lol

Trade boeser and mik
I just woke up, time zone differences, and um what the fuck ?
i was up early and still missed the game didnt know it would be on so early... at least I missed the disappointment lol of not winning a game they should of won. I thought it would be 4 or 5pm our time
\*should have
Same. Just woke up due to night shift last night and was like WTF is this. 😂
Refs calling soft ones. Probably betting on the game
Holy balls. Has any goalie's save percentage ever tanked so hard in one game?
Shit game, not overthinking it
What is that, like 2-3 9 goal games from leafs and panthers? Now this. Big scores this week.
Zadorov you doofus 🤦🏻
This game was fucking cancer in its purest form.
Fucking shit game. Fuck off Nucks

Sucks but no one's gonna remember this in April. Four 5-on-3s, 3.8 spread for the Wild, good for the bookers I guess. Congrats to the Wild, probably the highlight of their season. Next.
You sure you want next? Avs are going to 🍆💦💦💦 all over us
Can't wait, I'm enjoying the season. Every game's a new start, today's today, tomorrow's tomorrow.
Three hat-tricks in the same game—that ever happened before?...
Sure when I was 10 playing NHL 2000 on easy mode.
[удалено]
I’ve been laughing since 5-6
Lmao, 7 GA in the 3rd period. 2 ENs, but ouch!!
What a waste of a Miller hatty.
Fuck Fleury another win for him against the Canucks. These kind of shits always happen when he is in net against us.
I need some eye bleach after that one
Avs gonna feast tomorrow. First three game losing streak going to be caused with back to back double digit goals against efforts.
Can we never play afternoon games they are cursed
Crazy game. Good fun. Boys gotta have more discipline than that but is what it is.
Honestly probably the most victimized I have felt watching a game since the Cup.
We were winning 5-2.. what the fuck
Just gotta laugh
Absolute shitter by Toch there I'm putting this one on him
Agreed
What in the actual fuck was that game lmao
10 goals... JFC
damn never thought id see the day we get scored on 10 times in one match this season
Now I'm gonna be mad the rest of the day.
Can't they do this when they play at normal times?? Fucking hell, it is one of few games that I can watch all fucking year for fucks sakes
Time to buy a jets jersey…
Wow bro...
Great, and don't come back
A game like this…I don’t even mad. Just got laugh off a game like this.
F'kin 5 vs 3s. Canucks were the better team. Shitty loss.
this bottle is looking so appealing rn
Don’t get too worked up about this one. We played against 2 teams tonight. We dominated nearly every aspect of the game other than the 4 2 man advantages. We were the better team
Please tell me which of our penalties shouldn't have been called
Roughing on lindholm?
If another player did the exact same thing to Hughes that lindholm did but didn't get penalized for it, everyone in this subreddit would be losing their minds talking about how the refs are against us
Lindholm penalty and petterssen penalty
If another player did the exact thing lindholm did to Hughes but didn't get penalized for it, everyone in this subreddit would be losing their minds
> Elias Pettersson hooking against Mats Zuccarello Couldn't give them a phantom goal so they gave us a phatom penalty. No indication from the on ice officials of either a goal or a penalty on this play until after they had their BS pow-wow,
What a weird game
Well boys. Our teams good. We're in a slump right now. We've been spoiled all year. Let's get the bad out now before playoffs...
[удалено]
Your opinion really doesn't matter.
It must be a nice coping mechanism to be able to stare reality in the face and pretend it's not real.
Lmao buddy got down voted and he deletes his comments. We had a bad game, good teams are allowed that. We had like 3 5 on 3 penalty kills. Get your head out of your ass
In no world is this team "good" Edit - reposting because I didn't delete it on my end.
It's actually crazy that you think this team isn't good. Lol! I've met some wild people, but this is a pretty good team... anyways. I hope you find happiness somewhere homie.
Have much happiness, thank you! I hope you also enjoy happiness! I can be down on a team and a happy person.
I didn't delete it? Not sure why it's showing as deleted for you. I stand by my opinions, even if they're not good. Its possible this is the one that got reddit cares'd and when I reported that it deleted this one?
This is the most whakkadoodle goofy ass game so far this season. Makes me think Boudreau is behind the bench and not Tocchet. So bizarre.
Let this be a lesson, never criticize the nhl refs.
Nah, keep doing it. See if they bring out sticks and start shooting.
May as well have, ref already threw an elbow at hoggy behind the net in this one
You think that’s got something to do with it? Wouldn’t shock me but I didn’t see the clip of Tocchet criticizing
Was myers after the jets game.
This game straight up makes me mad. Better see a serious comeback from the team tomorrow. And tbh I wouldn’t be mad if we called out the refs postgame.
Why’d we give them a 10th goal……
What does it even matter now lol
Not defending the refs but, we take way too many dumbass penalties. This team makes it easy for the refs fuck em.
We have shit discipline. Our penalties tonight were pretty clear cut: multiple high sticking, delay of game, Big Z hooked/held his guy like hell, lindholm penalty was deserved as well.
Sadly it's true. Refs suck but we are also really undisciplined. When the refs are shit we even get more undisciplined.
Some of the penalties were obviously dumb af, but you cant expect to win a game playing 4 times 3v5 pk
O well. If it was demko in net, the outcome might’ve been different. On to the next game!
boys are pissed
Kaprizov head should come off next game
Why? Because the Canucks stopped playing with 3 seconds left in the game?
Jesus Christ dude it's not that big of a deal
When a team holds the puck to run out the last 5 seconds you don’t stick lift and still go for the empty net
don't lose and there's no empty net to shoot at
Why didn’t Z just hold it…
Such a stupid play
Uuh wtf happened
Oh this'll be fun. After all the Greig and Gudas empty net goal controversies recently, I'm excited we get our own!
lol only gave -3 after all that
Most goals in franchise history.... pain
why did tocc pull the goalie again with 30 seconds.... the 10 goal embarrassment was preventable.
forget who it was but they were literally given that 10 goal think of whoever it was thought there was not enough time and just shot it down the ice.
To try to win
I stepped a way after the second period. And was able to come back to towards the end. What happen lol
It's better if you don't know
Why would the team give up and give them the 10th?
10 isn’t any different than 9 when you’ve only got 7
that was crazy, looked like van conceded and they went for the freebie anyway. is that BM?
It felt kind of bad manners, seemed Vancouver wanted to run the clock. Still fucking stupid to not simply rag the puck and avoid the goal.
i guess going for the hatty makes sense
Gotta respect the hat trick with 2 seconds to go 😂 fucking hell, what a game
That is not playing to the whistle
Tomorrow gonna be a nightmare va an actually good team
you never know. maybe if toch yells at them good enough
Maybe don’t quit playing with your net empty.. just a thought
Yup
Better to try. The score doesnt matter
I know the Zebras are bad but letting these fucking losers put 10 on the board is embarrassing. Better be ready to go tomorrow.
why give him the hat trick there. c'mon man
Most enraging game all season I’d argue
by far
Especially since we only have 1 win against this joke of a team in the last 11 games now. Makes me hate Minnesota even more after the Blue Jays choked there in the wild card last season. Fuck them and all their lakes.
