Tuckered Out?
Wild/Vokoun struggle against Oilers
Are the Wild out of gas?
That question has to be asked after the team's lackluster 3-1 performance in game 2 of their series against the Oilers. In a game that was there for the taking, Minnesota once again struggled to put the puck past Martin Brodeur.
Tomas Vokoun struggled letting 3 goals in on just 20 shots. The game featured an excellent defensive effort by the Wild, but at the price of any sustained attack. GM Grant Farhall says the team needs to find a balance.
"Certainly we were happy only giving up 20 shots tonight but it doesn't matter if we don't get any good chances at the other end. Hopefully we can put it altogether in game 3."
Danield Sedin had the lone Wild goal as their team's top guns continue to struggle.
Game 3 is scheduled for Thursday and is a must win for the Team from the Twin Cities.
