WCQF Game 2: Minnesota Wild (3) vs Winnipeg Jets (2) 7:30 PM ET | SN, TVAS2, USA, FS-N

I think I underestimated the importance of Ryan Suter.

The importance of Ryan Suter cannot be overstated. The guy gets criminally underrated.

 

[rynryn]

The hell are you talking about? I'm pretty sure he lined up against Armia, and I don't think I've EVER seen Armia drop the gloves. Maybe he should have taken center against Lowry.

could be wrong. looked like they talked about it and Armia nodded.

 

[JetsFan815]

Woosh... I guess Wild had to do something in the last 10 seconds of the game after only Dubnyk showed up in the first 59:50. Hope Boudreau gives Winnik a cookie.

 

[Daximus]

If we are using that metric...Buff has 40lbs and 3inches on Winnik.

Sweet lets see it. Doubt Winnik would ever do it though. Props to Tanev for being fearless. Kid would do that every night.

 

[BusQuets]

Laine did start playing violin in front of Wild's bench so it's not surprising that Wild did not like it. Jets can blame Laine.

 

[almostawake]

How? It is not like things were going well for The Wild.

It's just an alarm clock for his team for the next game. How could it be worse? They lose 6-1? It would still be 0-3.

Jets are so pleasing to the eye.

Jets were ripe to be caught off guard at the beginning of the next game.

Up 2-0 having dominated at home.

Boudreau could easily have played the "you're not in trouble until you lose a home game" card over the next two days.

The way this game ended guarantees the Jets will come out flying next game though. Zero chance they catch the Jets off guard now.

? ha you'd know that's not true if you watched us all season.

Seeler was doing junk all night and was looking for a fight off that draw no doubt. It's what you do when you can't keep up, I get it. Usually our teams in pretty much every sport are the ones that suck.

At time it feels like Ryan Suter the player has been overshadowed by Ryan Suter the contract.

 

[cneely]

could be wrong. looked like they talked about it and Armia nodded.

Armia has never been in a fight in his life.

Impressed by Laine tonite. 3 points in 2 playoff games as a 19 year old.

 

[bustamente]

Pumkin head Boudreau is a dinosaur.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Not quite.

He doesn’t have home ice.

Classic Boudreau is losing with home ice advantage.

On the road against the best home team without Suter...... Boudreau doesn’t have a full deck.

Was more referring to the gooning at the end of the game losing by more than a goal. No question the Suter injury is a backbreaker, but I'm not sure if he's in game 1 or 2 have different results.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Jets won the game but Wild won the fight!

LOL you think that was successful tough hockey?

I'm more amazed the Jets didn't go full Homer Simpson windmill on the Wild. GJ on getting the best on the smallest Jets player on the ice.


So funny.


It was really cute how the Wild thought they would show the Jets just how tough they can be in the last seconds of the game, except the game was long over before all that.

 

[rubikscube]

Minnie should've just taken it on the chin and tried to re-group at home and catch the Jets sleeping.

Now the Jets are going to go for the throat

 

[NoNecksCurse]

this series was done when suter was injured. i don't even have a word for this series at this point as "done" wouldn't do it justice. i would think about resting guys to be honest if i were the jets and went up 3-0 and out shoot the wild 40-15 on the road in game 3.

 

[rynryn]

Pumkin head Boudreau is a dinosaur.

clap.clap.

 

[Cellee]

Bye bye Wild.....please try a bit harder in game three.....the first two games have been too easy.

I like their compete level right now

 

[bustamente]

Suter is a great d-man no doubt and sorely missed by the Wild but the outcome wouldn't be different.

 

[thejaf7]

Commence white out invasion Sunday

 

[McDLT]

Laine did start playing violin in front of Wild's bench so it's not surprising that Wild did not like it. Jets can blame Laine.

I blame him for emabrassing the wild and not letting me win my 50K vCash cause i bet on your damn team.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Jets are not f***ing around.

 

[snowkiddin]

Domination. Nice for Roslo to get a point coming into the lineup. Minny took out Perreault, Roslovic comes in and there’s no drop off. Onto Minnesota now

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Have you ever been to Surrey?

Im jk btw. And no I haven't lol.

 

[Frosty415]

Jets are a tough team this year.

Can easily see em pushing to the WCF.

 

[rynryn]

pretty much conceded this series when Suter got hurt and Spurge just back from an injury. We were outmatched even with a full roster but at least there was a chance. This though...

 

[EpochLink]

Suter is a great d-man no doubt and sorely missed by the Wild but the outcome wouldn't be different.

Nope, even with Suter the Wild have no shot.
Any Bruce Boudreau coached team is bound to collapse.
