There’s no better voice of opinion than twitter, so I am going to start telling the story of the week with the best tweets from the previous Monday-Sunday.

With Spurgeon out, I'm more concerned about Malkin tonight than Crosby (5v5). Sid will see plenty of Suter and Brodin.

— Brandon Mileski (@BrandonMileski)November 4, 2014

Two goals for Pittsburgh in the second from Kunitz and Sutter. Wild look out of sync even with two power chances. 3-0 Penguins after two.

— Sporting Sota (@SportingSota)November 5, 2014

Wild-Penguins game tonight is another example of why shots on goal mean absolutely nothing.

The#Wildhave outshot every single opponent this year and are about to fall to 7-5. Something's not right here.

Wild finally get outshot, so we can stop hanging our hats on that and start to worry

— Sporting Sota (@SportingSota)November 9, 2014

#Twolveslook like a completely different team without Rubio. Losing 29-13 through one quarter in Miami.
