Yeah, the 3 Stooges theme was appropriate - the Wild teammates tripped each other.

This has been one of the absolute worst refereed playoff games I've ever seen.

Yeah, not the preferred outcome.
Wild outhustled Dallas for decent swaths of this one and were rewarded with some good puck luck at times as a result.
Fairly clean game with few "playoff penalties" and a few softies called- with Minnesota capitalizing and Dallas not.

And you have to give Wallstedt credit in net, great awareness and even better positioning.

Oh well, no one expected a sweep.

concerning but not surprising given game 1 history

Really poor effort tonight all around. Sometimes you need your goaltender to bail you out until the team finds its game.

Unfortunately, Otter was just as bad as everyone else.

Hopefully, it's just a typical Stars game one and they will bounce back.

Itter wasn't terrible, but he wasn't good either. 6 goals, 1 open netter. So 5. 1 was a bad luck break. 1 was bad defense. Other three were poor reaction or just plan bad positioning on top of bad defense.

The team obviously played terribly in front of him and that's why they lost.

I would've liked to see him make the save on that angle from Kaprizov. That play was started by Rantanen's low effort though. That goal was the killer tonight.

He got caught leaning on the 5th goal.

Neither goal is terrible to give up, but he's paid to make the those saves.

You could argue that he could've gotten over better on the 4th goal, but I'd put that more on losing the battle on the side of the net.

Wallstedt made the saves when tested by Benn and Wyatt.
