**** it, it worked last time.

Game 7

 

[Bazeek]

1.) They need centers.
2.) Parise was good in the playoffs. Still ready to be rid of him.
3.) They need centers.
4.) Talbot was alright, but wasn't the sort of goalie that could pull a rabbit out of his hat when the team needed it. Better than last year, anyway.
5.) They need centers.
6.) Kaprizov was underwhelming, but I thought he got better as he adjusted. A number of great setups died on Rask's stick.
7.) They need centers.
8.) I'm sure Fiala's name will come up in trade talk, but he was one of the only guys that seemed to be able to cut through Vegas' ****shit consistently. Guy needs a linemate.
9.) They NEED centers.
10.) I'm going to miss Dumba.
11.) They need centers.
12.) I still have a lot of Hamm's to drink.

I'd say they exceed expectations, but mostly this season feels like wasted potential.

I blame Capital Brewery for not stocking more of that ****ing dopplebock.

Tough to disagree with any of that, except for #9. They NEED centers

Avs need to take care of Vegas.

Thanks, I can't believe I missed that. Edited.

Pushed our luck too far... once was fine, twice was asking for trouble.

I'd almost be willing to bet the avs sweep em.... Almost.

Vegas matches up well with Colorado...

 

[Webster]

And that was the last game in a Wild jersey for some players...but who?

And how will the lineup look like on opening night in October?

Interesting summer coming up.

When's the deadline for waiving NMC before expansion draft?

If that series is officiated similar to this one, Vegas will have a shot.

All in all, I'm happy with this season. I did not expect much but we actually played good hockey for the most part.

I 100% believe that we would have won this series quite easily if we were better at faceoffs. Billy G needs to find improvements to our center department, having the likes of Rask or Hartman as top 6 centers is not a good idea.

Anyone that is a UFA is gone. One of Rask/Parise is gone. Probably the only subtractions here.

Johansson is probably gone. If not, I'd be very surprised.

Well, tiny little Calen Addison didn't get abused too badly. Mebbe we should've played Boldy, but who do you take out? Bjugstad, who just scored last game, or Parise who scored last game and this game? Bonino?

We all knew it before the season when we were assured that we didn't have any top 6 C's, and killed us, even though JEE played his ass off.

Addison needs time to adjust to the bigboy game, but his puck skills sure do look like they translate to the NHL. Not sure how his defense will develop but he'll be a welcome addition on the powerplay.

Huge offseason incoming. I usually shut it down but I'm already jacked for next year. What's next? Entry draft or expansion draft?

Man.....that sucked. Had to watch the Twins get shelled live and the Wild get drubbed on the big screen. It was pretty much full Minnesota. What’s amazing is how resigned to losing everyone at the ballpark was. Just life as usual for us MN Nicers
