WTF??? Another Coyote goal as the puck slipped under Backstrom’s glove. This one with 1.3 seconds left.

That's it.
They have no offense. This one’s over.

Bergeron’s fault on the first, Mikko’s on the second. Giving up 2 goals in 30 seconds at the end of the second is not a good sign for a team that can’t score. This doesn’t happen to a team with his head not up its collective backsides.

2. No
3. No
4. No

Ouch is right… damn Wild. This was supposed to be the easy game on the trip, too.

Yeah, I think that pretty much answers my questions. This is painful.
Sure would be nice to see what guys like Patrick O’Sullivan or Ryan Jones would do on this roster. They still have no scorers. It’s just painful. Different seasons, same problem.

Good thing they traded Sully for Demo huh?

Coyotes goal. Once again the D leaves Backstrom out to dry there. Coyotes 3-0.

Ok
I’m going to back the TiVo up to see who screwed up.

Bergeron
Ok. Bergeron and Reitz absoltuely blew that one. They screwed up so badly I don’t even know who to blame. It looks like Beregeron

3-1
Wild goal! Antti Miettinen finally gets a goal again. Total garbage goal.

Garbage counts too!

You kidding?
That’s what this team needs. They still haven’t found the garbage guy.

The outside shot has not worked all night, why do they keep trying?
MOVE IT INSIDE!

Cheapshot
Jokinen should have gone for more than 2:00 on that. Deliberately running Bergeron’s head into the glass? Ridiculous.

Yeah... Colin Campbell was already in bed though
And it was Jokinen… can’t suspend a star

Yeah
It’s annoying as hell too. No consistency or credibility in Toronto.

Bergeron is the new Skooba

What?
Belanger should not be on the PP. He’s just not that good.

Oh
And I’m against Bergeron. He annoys me.

Second hook on Mikko on the face off.

Mikko Koivu going off for hooking. 2:51 left. That should just about do it. 9-game winning streak against Phoenix about to come to an end.

Great save by Backstrom as Jokinen threaded the needle to the backdoor

Hmm
Wild are now 1-4 with Johnsson as C.

Wild lose 3-1 to the Phoenix Coyotes. Thanks to 30 horrible seconds at the close of the second period. Also, the bad offense didn’t help
