Joe Smith 🤖Our #mnwild video report heading into Game 5
Marcus Foligno said there was some 'arrogance' to their game in Game 4 - not playing their style. "It's a mental commitment to our game and Game 4 we didn't do it. We did a lot of east-west. Honestly it was kind of a brain fog with some guys." #mnwild
Eriksson Ek and Brodin won’t travel for Game 5. #mnwild
Mats Zuccarello doesn’t look - or sound - like a guy ready to retire. “I don’t feel like I’m 38,” he says.
The veteran winger was reflective on career and is open to continuing it with #mnwild.
“We always have interest in Zuccy,” Bill Guerin says.

Keeler: Avalanche, Josh Manson expose Wild’s Temu tough guys as bad actors, too, take 3-1 series lead
Turns out the Temu tough guys are lousy actors, too. The Minnesota Mild threw every trick they could find from Whiny Pete DeBoer’s playbook at the Avalanche in Game 4. Especially the dirty ones.
#mnwild Michael McCarron on the Josh Manson butt end play:
“I blew him up, and he grabs me and pulls me on top of him. He's a dirty player. He took his butt end and clearly, butt-ended me in the face. I don't know how it's not five minutes. I think the rule book says it's a five minute if you butt-end someone in the face. He's a dirty player. He's always been. Not very well respected.”
