(VIDEO) The Avs and Wild Combined For How Many Penalty Minutes!?
Right from the get-go, you knew this game was going to be rough. Literally. Just over 2 minutes in, and Brandon Duhaime and Logan O'Connor are embattled over O'Connor's dirty hit on Kulikov. The fight takes place in front of the Wild bench, and the players are incensed. Take a look at Matt Dumba, in particular.
O'Connor received 2 minutes for boarding and 5 for fighting, while Duhaime was handed out 2 for instigating and 5 for fighting. Just over 3 minutes later, Curtis McDermid takes out Marcus Foligno by way of a knee-to-knee hit, and got 5 a 5 minute misconduct penalty. Practically the entire time was ready to go after him for that, but fights were held off, as Foligno was still down on the ice, clearly in a great amount of pain.
By the end of the game Minnesota had a total of 27 PIM, and 5 Power Play opportunities. Colorado had a total of 32 PIM and 4 Power Play opportunities. Neither team scored any PPGs, but the Wild took home the win with a score of 4-1.
Coach Evason had some words for the Avalanche players, after the game.
