GDT: WCQF Game 2: Blues @ Wild | 7 PM CT / 3AM Finland | NBCSN, TVAS3, SN360, FS-N

[It is Wild World]

I hate Yeo-brand hockey. I hated it when he was here, and I hate it even more now that he's using it against us.

Lol now I understand why people branded the Wild boring. The Blues play the most frustrating game. They sit back and defend with 5 man deep and hold on for dear life until they get their shot. It is effective though.

This kills the crab.

Been down 2-0 before. Go out on Sunday and get a win and never look back.

Too embarrassed

Even the Oilers managed to split their series. We could actually be done before them. Let that sink in for a second.

Must be nice to have McDavid and Draisaitl. Two elite scoring forwards who can actually figure out a way to get the puck in the net.

Scoring by committee is nice, except when everyone is snakebit and you need an extremely talented player to break through.

That was #notfun

They are playing San Jose...

Guess what boys, you're gonna go into a building with a team and coach who's system thrives on getting the last change.
Toughen up and execute on your chances. Making this a game of 'would've, could've, should'ves' only screws with your execution. It's all about the next one.

Well, just think back to the beginning of last year when the Wild were flying high, but Yeo kept complaining they weren't winning "the right way", i.e. they were scoring too many goals, and playing hockey that wasn't boring enough. Coaches like him are part of the reason scoring dropped off in the mid 90s and has never really recovered. It's easier to destroy than create, and coaches will do whatever it takes to keep their jobs (even though they inevitably all get fired, anyway).

Get Prosser in the lineup! He is a beast and will change the series!

 

[Paul Bunyan]

Was at 1&2 live. Two ended up putting me in a depression spiral. A lot of anger brought up.

Need game 3 or it's night night...though it could just be me shelling out another 200 to watch this team blow it at home again too. :/

Still wish dubs would have saved that first one

Series talk is back open.
