WILD PLAYOFFS 25-26

[Parfigliano]

Beat Dallas. 

[Parfigliano]

This thing on?

[Vanimal46]

Just a shameful performance from the refs tonight. Wyatt Johnston spears Kaprizov in the twig and berries with his stick and no call. 

[Vanimal46]

Incredible series so far. 

[mrtwinsfan]

GOING TO OVERTIME AT  11:45  , CMON  Wild

[Parfigliano]

OT playoff hockey.  

No body is in the same Union now

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh right.

 

I should post here, instead of the Twins-Seattle game thread...

 

I just wanted to point out the go ahead goal was a power play for a call of too many on the ice. There's a joke somewhere there...

Don’t wanna say too much since it’s only April yet, but this is fun hockey.

Ps. I also wished to ask how they decide who serves the time in the box?

I assume they leave it to the team penalized, who invariably choose the player slow to get off, as he's tired anyway?

I can't wait for Thursday.

This feeling I have...it is scary and unknown to me.  Is this hope?

Tomorrow is going to be a fun day for MN sports. Skol Wild and skol Wolves! 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hey look. It is Thursday.

 

And 1 goal lead approaching the midway point.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Er... tied.

 

Did they tie it right after my post?

I probably should hold my tongue...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

On to the next round, i guess...

[Vanimal46]

This team is clicking in every phase of the game. If we take down Colorado we can absolutely win the Cup.

If they keep playing like they have with zuccarello in the lineup they look like the team to beat.

Hughes looked less than 100% until last night.  He's such a game changer.

[TheLeviathan]

Avs tomorrow night.  This series should be really, really good.

Game 1 will be interesting.  The Wild just won a war...did it tire them out or sharpen their resolve?  Did blasting through the Kings soften up the Avs?

I think what happens Sunday night is going to be a really good indicator.

As of yesterday... Brodin out for Game 1 (and not traveling with team to CO, so probably G2 as well), after blocking a shot (lower body injury); Erickson Ek may or may not be out/travel after hitting the sideboard in Game 6.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh right. Win one series just means you get to start another...

And it gets harder to win.

Probably not the smartest move to start that next series spotting the AVs a 3 goal lead.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

5-5 after 2?

Quite the epic battle!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Anyone watching?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Walp.

 

That was a third period, i guess...

Lost 9-6 (one empty netter)

 

Maybe we'll slow them down some next game.

I did.  Like TC D absent.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Maybe we'll figure it out next game...

So....not sure that game was an indicator of anything other than answer the question "What would an NHL playoff game look like if everyone but the goalies did cocaine beforehand?"

[Vanimal46]

The schedule this series is bizarre. No games for 3 straight days Wed-Fri. For no reason at all...
