Kings rally in third, top Wild in shootout.

**Coach Sutter said, "he reviewed it" (the 1st goal by Minnesota). Don't think he agreed with the ref. Kings stole 2 against Minnesota. GKG!!

**The LA Quicks do it again. Hopefully, the Kings will show tonight against the Jets. I'd hate too see Quick play by himself again.

**Should have won the Calder last year if it was dealt to the best rookei insted of the best point producing rookie. I have nothing against Hubie, but not even nominate Brodin was a huge mistake.

**The Wild were strong in that game, but Backstrom just had to give up a garbage goal towards the end of the 3rd. Also, we still need to work on the power play and finish on our chances. Other than that, our foundation is there. Also, the next time we go into a shootout would it kill Yeo and Fletcher to not have Backstrom as our goaltender for it? He looked great tonight except for those 2 goals he shouldn't have given up in the SO. This is a game that we easily could have won. Regardless, I'm proud how the Wild played most of this game tonight. We'll get those angry Ducks on Saturday!

**I would not get on Backstrom's case too much about the shootout goals especially Carters he does the same move every time and about 98 percent of the time its in the net and Kopitar is usually a shootout specialist also.

**Ya i hear ya but with Carters goal especially all the goalies he ends up doing that move on just end up sliding to the side in the splits and he just roofs it upstairs their is really not much they can do his hands are so good and its a goal scorers goal and any time he has missed it I am pretty sure it was because it was shot over the net and the goalie didn't even save it lol.

**Watching the 3 preseason games he played only allowing 2 goals in the 3 and the game tonight. Hes already in his playoff form it might be scary to think what he does this year if he stays this way which he very well could.

**MIN PP unit 1 not very creative, just one move: Koivu to Parise to the side of the goal, he tries to ram it in. Fairly easy to defend if your goalie's awake. Last season opener it worked twice when Heatley was there in front to stuff in the Zach's rebound/pass, but this time that option not available. I'd like to see one touch cross ice passes to split the D and get the goalie into lateral movement.

**Good game from both sides. LA needs to stop taking dumb penalties and the Wild need to learn to score on the PP. Regardless, what are you going to do? Quick is the best goaltender in the league. He's definitely the reason LA even had a chance tonight.

**I agree with the Wild being the better team over most of the time. Nevertheless the ref being so desperate to let the Wild win by counting a complete irregular goal as good, sending randomly Kings Players on the bench for nothing (Clifford) and at the very end sending Mitchell three minutes before the end of regulation for a clean hip check on the bench again to give the Wild another golden chance to finish game in regulation... I must say, sorry Wild you don't deserve more than one point for this. i can stand fair losses, but not like this one would have been.

**I understand from what you answer that you're Wild supporter.Fair enough. But even commentators on TV shook their heads on both decisions, Cooke's goal and Mitchells hit being an interference penalty. So those being completely wrong decisions is not my exclusive opinion. i agree with you on Clifford but it was just an example of the ref did not care about wrong or right. How can you not see or at least correct the decision with having replays and cams all over the place? Only if you dont care...and making those two super mistakes in sensitive game periods....i dont know...it would have felt very wrong if we got empty handed out of this game....still Wild was the better team from pure game facts and deserved one point...but not more..;)...
