Wild fan here, gotta give this game to Ottinger, he faced way too many high chance opportunities tonight to only have 2 go past him. Hats off, see ya in two days. Revenge.
I like how Lindell, Klingberg's old D partner, was involved in both Minnesota goals… Esa sets up John on the first goal, then he fails to clear and a great keep by John at the blue line on the second.
Ottenger save….or should i say saves were remarkable! And Gus wasnt saving, i mean he played good, but he hadn't been stellar tonight. And Kirill, after that injury miss matches, i look at him, and he is like not being him. I don't know what it is exactly, but i can see the lack of his signature skating, when he speeds up like a Porsche turbo S and then either: hit the brakes, so he "breaks" some defenseman ankles and have a lot of space in front of him, or he slides through defense like a knife through butter. He practically doesn't do those moves. Maybe he is still uncomfortable with his leg? It's like he plays on 80% of his abilities. Anyways Wild need Gus and Kirill to step up their game, before it's not too late. I have a feeling that it would be a 7 games series. 2 even teams.
Ottenger was great tonite. Too great. But the ones who won the game for Dallas are the refs. This game was horribly officiated. Dallas scored both PP goals on penalties that were not penalties and Plenty of infractions from Dallas never called. The bias of the refs couldn't be more clear.
have not watched either of these teams all year but this looks like perhaps the best series on. the dal goalie — never heard of him but he is the best in the playoffs so far. minny needs some offence and a pure goal scorer. if they had that – they would be good.
Fogliano needs to have better discipline. Both those hits were unnecessary and had not actual benefit when the puck is already going down ice. I get the playoffs are intense but in the regular season where penalties are handed out like candy that is a penalty pretty much every time and a dumb one to take if that. Why on earth would you risk a playoff game with such a dumb play….twice ?
Wild should have won this game. Stars have only played one full game this entire series. They better show up at the aac bc momentum is huge in the playoffs. Wild lost but they were dominant in the end of the game.
Spurgeon on the ice for 2 of those Stars goals. One he may have accidentally kicked in and the other he screened Gus. Otter was the man. He’s rounding back into the same playoff form we seen him last year. The 2 breakaway stops and that slide across to rob the wild at the end of the game was legendary!
Yet another prime example of the Wild getting robbed by the refs. This game would have been ours for the taking if not for the refs. Why do people hate on our great state of MN so much.
I will say this both teams dominated on their home ice and both teams were lucky to win on the road and both teams should be 2-2. I think game 5 is a must win for Dallas with game 6 coming back in Minnesota. Minnesota doesn't necessarily have to win game 5 bc I think they can win game 6 in Minnesota.

With Fleury in net MN would have won.
All right DALLAS good win 💪💪
HORRENDOUS 2 CALLS. If that never was called it’s 2-1 MIN
Way to respond Dallas glad they found a way to win. Hopefully they can get some of those ringers to fall early next game
There's always next year for the Wild.
Wild vs Goalpost
That save by Ott at the end was the stuff of legends.
Wild fans do nothing but complain about officials. You guys are a bunch of bell ends
The Avs are going to manhandle either of these teams.
Big game Big Loss!! Kaprisov and Boldy just can't find the back of the Net and that's not helping the team! 🤔
Kaprizov leaves Minnesota. I wonder if Washington or Pittsburgh?
Otter is unbelievable sometimes, glad he’s with my team
Can't choke a 3-1 lead if you never have one big think
Foglino such a bich lol tried to hit marchment and hit the wall and marchments elbow lol ahaha
when you've got a goalie like otter or gusty you can win any series. Great tending so far.
6:27 holy cow and I thought Scotland had the ugliest chicks ive ever seen
That shoulder tap by Goodrow at 8:00 is some serious reaction time and talent🤯

Minnesota doesn't even look like they belong in the NHL

i am not a dallas stars fan. i am, however, a jake oettinger fan. he's on a HoF trajectory and you love to see it.
I dont care for either of these teams but what the hell were those two calls on Foligno

That last save boy 🤦♂️
Only Oettinger saves Dallas.
Long snake Jake with another stellar performance.
Otter whent crazy.
Wild 2, refs 2, Stars 1

Bro every time I hear Randy’s voice I can never unthink the NBC Sports California graphics frrrr

Ottinger saved Dallas at the end
This serie is just great, two pretty even team going full intensity, I hope we get a game 7 for this one!

Wild in seven games.
Terrible offense. Players were more interested in causing penalities than winning the game. As normal, 1 and done for MN.

Dallas has been slow and flat 2 games in a row. They can’t keep doing that
See, Ottenger had the game of a lifetime
Lets go otter.. #GO STARS
Absolutely atrocious officiating in this game. The tripping call at the end was just hysterical. These guys should not do another game this season.
Refs should be ashamed. Or fired. Maybe both.
Suter sucks! ( he is trying to injur Kaprizov after he was just badly injured)
Im a wild fan but we can all agree the Dallas goalie is realy good. Also no hate to Gus bus!
The Wild got absolutely boned by the officials in this one. Wild in 6.
It's so sad that Dallas can't take a hit.
