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

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

And then Armia turned immediately and got cross-checked?

Trust me, of all Jets Armia is one of the last who would have a fight on instinct, let alone pre-agreed upon.

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.

No he didn't.

I think it was Bruce behind the bench.

 

[ijuka]

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

Because if the Jets actually go ahead and turn up the physicality even further, Wild are going to be in even bigger trouble. It's a pretty terrible idea to tempt them to do so.

Jets fans are triggered by playoff hockey...this wasn't even ugly or very obnoxious compared to many game endings in the playoffs. Especially in the first round.

Wild are outclassed currently and they are frustrated, and a few Jets have taken some liberties at the games end and the Wild have done the same. This is what happens...

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.

Wild control matchups, should be able to provide more shelter for their bottom 2 lines and bottom pairing.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

HArdly. with so many to choose from Seeler did not stand out as worst player on the ice.

Maybe he's having a rough go early on this series, but he looks useless.

Other than his penchant for dirty shit, I'm happy every time he's on the ice.

 

[ref88]

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

In fairness, Buff isn’t a very good fighter.

Yeah that will matter a lot.

 

[Festinator]

Embarrasing stuff from the Wild (or at least Winnik and Boudreau) at the end of the game there.

Dubnyk was amazing though, wow. If Wild can build on their own crowd and Dubnyk keeps playing like that, I don't think this is a sweep.

They are new to this. Give them a break.

True. Wild have a good shot at taking 2 at home.

 

[Maukkis]

Come on guys, allow Seeler and Winnik to get their name out there. You'll never know if they make it back to the show after game 4.

Unless their's horseshoe up Minnesota's behind they can make it a series. That's IF, I guess we will see game 3.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Did this Seeler guy win some "play with the pros" fantasy contest?

What a clown. Worst player on the ice, all he can do is rile people up.

Look at that. He’s got you all worked up. Cute.

 

[bustamente]

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...

Spurgeon deff not even 75% not even visible in the game, Dumba wore down as the game went on, Suter is a huge loss.

Doing it like this is just pathetic, though. If they had done it early in the third or after the 2-0 goal, then it would have made some sense. Doing it at the end, picking on non-fighters and the smallest guys? At least fight Adam Lowry, wasn't he on the ice?

 

[BigZ65]

True. Wild have a good shot at taking 2 at home.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do, but they sure are wearing out their good players.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

He's faster and more skilled, scary.

He's an upgrade no doubt. Going to be hard to keep him out of the line up if he plays this impressively.

 

[JetsFan815]

Nvm

 

[Digitalbooya]

They are new to this. Give them a break.

Wait till they see a team that isn’t missing their best player.

 

[D0ctorCool]

I love Laine's violin celly. What a butt.

 

[Mnsportsfan22]

Jets fans are so bitter its playoff hockey! Wild might not be good at it but jeez cry a river

 

[Cellee]

They are new to this. Give them a break.

Must have missed those deep Wild runs.

 

[MardyBum]

In fairness, Buff isn’t a very good fighter.

Yeah, if Buff wants to punish someone he'll do what he did to Boumeester. Parise and others are fortunate he's not exploding into these hits yet. Downside is he'll start getting penalties because they're too violent.

 

[BusQuets]

Must have missed those deep Wild runs.

Not many teams with more playoff series than Wild in the last 6 years.
