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

The "X" (GCA) has a previously scheduled event for Friday...

Wow. Talk about the class of the league. More skilled, faster... We'll be lucky to not get swept.

That effort was rough.  I know we're missing two of our best defenders but we can play much, much better than this.

If they don't find that gear though...our taste of round 2 is going to be short lived.

Gotta figure it out before Saturday... The Wild have to be flawless at home now. 

At this point I'm going back to Wallstedt and riding it out with him. Gus Bus didn't look any better last night.

Really unfortunate, but this series is showing that while we finally have the top end talent to compete; we don’t have the depth. And tbh, our general consensus overall best player, Hughes, kinda looks like “just a guy” against mackinnon. That dude is the closest to lemieux I’ve ever seen.

Also Gus has been pretty much bad for the last month or so, and while I understand why they played him, we really need Wally to come back and not be “solved” all of a sudden. Hope he can make adjustments, we need a hot goalie to have any chance.

The sad fact is the AVs talent ia on a different level then the Wild.

Can't we just go super saiyan?

That was exactly the type of effort and performance to get back in the series. Great win last night

Hope we learned something we can bring again to tomorrow night.

Equalizer!

 

Tie game in the 3rd...

Hopefully we can put the puck in the net again.

No such luck.

down 3-1 returning to Denver.

I wonder if they are upset about the Nuggets?

The Wild need to play three great games to get to the Western Finals. The Avs are really good and it will take a complete team effort to win each game. In my rating system, the Wild needed to beat two of the top six teams to get to the Western Finals, probably the toughest path of all the teams.

It’s frustrating because this is the most talented Wild team in their history. Colorado is just a buzz saw of a team.

NHL playoffs are such a joke. Meanwhile either the conference's 4th or 5th best team gets a free ticket to the conference championship.
