lol Russo article today on foligno says that league told wild that neither of his penalties last Sunday (both which Dallas scored on) should have been a penalty.

Well duh. Of course, them being called doesn’t force the Wild have to let the Stars score every time. It also doesn’t force the Wild to never take advantage of a sketchy call on Dallas.

Second postseason in a row with absolutely abysmal special teams.

It’s not an excuse, I’m more baffled why the league bothers to say anything. Looks better if they just shut up at this point
 
Every team not named the early 80s Islanders has a stretch like this in the playoffs. It's not indicative of anything but SSS.
 
I’m gonna be disappointed if guerin doesn’t bin this coaching staff

edit: the more I think about this I dunno. Do you bring in a new staff to deal with two years of cap hell? Or just tank for two years and then bring a decent coach in

Yeah it is tricky. They were in cap hell this year too, but somehow managed to claw their way in. Probably more evidence that the west just isn’t very good this year.

Evason’s postseason history is embarrassing, though, at all levels. Obviously players have to play and assume some of the responsibility, but I have no idea how you go out with such a whimper two years in a row. All of the other teams played for their lives to try and stave off elimination, not the Wild. Just roll over and die. Pathetic.
