So you don't think this factors in to this game?  That our guys are on the road, b2b, in at 4 am.

 

I certainly do.

 

I do agree we really need some more toughness (hated losing Mac and Gadj for that reason). But the Wild are really enjoying a leisurely schedule and it shows.

The back to back has nothing to do with play physical hockey LOL. Go on though.

Do you know anything about fatigue? It matters. All athletes will start to fade out over time. Rested and fresh can be an advantage for sure.

 

Again, I agree that the physicality is something we lack and desperately need. But the Wild have a pretty smooth month and I'd expect them to have more energy.

This team has never played physical hockey once this season. I’ve watched the games…I think I know. Trying to deflect the argument…

No excuses crew. Players are robots 

It looks so much easier from the couch.

 

I go to games and watch from the glass...it's a FAST hard hitting game. The TV and even upper bowls don't do it justice.

 

I won't argue that we need a gritty player or two to beef up our line up (we do).

 

But these guys played HARD last night and you can't ignore the details in that.

Ya you’re the only one here that goes and watches games in lower bowl.

But sure, Wild are just studs...we'll ignore the facts.

 

 

Fatigue is definitely a thing but you can't control the schedule or refs.

 

Winning teams adapt and win. Losing teams complain.

 

Ideally you'd actually have depth and manage minutes.

No Canada soccer spoilers please. Thanks.

game hasn't started, but just the look of the refs .....they're going to suck

Costa Rica has a bunch of dirty players and I think they paid off FIFA 
No anthem singer but they still sucked

It feels like 2012 again having this discussion about being more physical and all it took was one game to expose it. We have Schenn on the backend that is willing to lay the body, but need to see more of it from our bottom-six forwards.

We desperately need more toughness.
