WCQF Game 3: Winnipeg Jets (2) at Minnesota Wild (3) 7 PM ET | SN, TVAS, USA, FS-N+

[Merya]

I almost said the Wild in the "most likely to come back in the series" thread earlier today, but I chickened out. I wish that I'd done so now.

Come back to win? No, won't happen. Make it 2-2, perhaps.

The Wild always do this in game 3 after going home with a 0-2 deficit. It's game 4 that matters.

5-1 in their last 6 game 3’s at home, 4-0 after losing the first 2 on the road.

Even that one loss was 1-0.

 

[Heldig]

Did not expect anything less from the Wild. 6 or 7 games series. Not sure who will win.

 

[Cleatus]

You should never quit on your team bro. You'll never see your team comeback the way the bruins did against the leafs in game 7 couple years ago.

I’ve watched this team enough times to know when they’ve completely mailed it in. They’re not coming back, game over.

 

[Merya]

I'd much rather be up 2-1 in a series than down 0-2. Lol keep hating bud, Raptors should do well though!

Raptors?

 

[tacogeoff]

Great game by the wild so far. tip of the hat for coming out strong tonight.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Goals for alone is not everything. Every good chance the Wild get (Heck some goals weren't even good chances) turns out to be a goal. Whereas there have been countless chances where Winnipeg should have scored that didn't happen. Yes at the end of the day the score is all that matters, but what I'm trying to imply is those that use this game as a reason why the Wild will win in 6 (Da ****) are being delusional. If the Wild and Jets play the exact same way as they've played this game for the rest of the series, it'll be a lot closer, and the Jets could still win a game or two. Wild have been better today but not 6-2 better. Whereas Jets were way better than the 3-2 and 4-1 that they've won at the MTS centre.

What are you on about?

Wild are dominating in the same way the Jets did game 2

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Last year the Sharks beat the Oilers 7-0 after losing 2 in a row

Oilers beat the Ducks 7-1

Preds beat the Pens 5-1

It happens when good teams play pissed off and are comfortable at home. Im not too concerned about the result, but if Myers is injured long-term that is a huge blow, suddenly half of our regular 6 dmen are out which will probably be too much to overcome if we get through this series and want to beat the Preds..

 

[c9777666]

Yup. 100% credit earned in my books. I thought the Wild were doomed and the big bad Jets were just getting started.

For all of Boudreau’s playoff woes, one thing he doesn’t do is get swept.

Only once has he ever gotten broomed (2011 vs Tampa Bay)

 

[Saitama]

While I'm not surprised that the Wild were not going to get swept (they didn't break 100 points by accident), I am surprised that the Jets are down this badly. Hopefully we can get a split out of these road games!

 

[Steelers]

What are you on about?

Pretty easy to understand his point.... not a sharp one I see

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

How? They've been stuck in their zone many times. Every good chance they got turned out to be a goal. Yes they are the better team tonight, however Jets in games 1 and 2 were hammering the Wild in their zone and the Wild could barely even get the puck to the center ice at times.

 

[c9777666]

Last year the Sharks beat the Oilers 7-0 after losing 2 in a row

Oilers beat the Ducks 9-1

The 7-0 game came after consecutive Cam Talbot shutouts and 9-1 was after THAT 3rd period collapse in which we thought EDM would not get off the mat

 

[Digitalbooya]

Raptors?

That Toronto basketball team.

Ah yes, aggressive one. Who said the Wild would win in 6 because of this game?

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

A few posts back there was one guy, I also saw a few Wild will win the series people throughout the GDT.

Okay haha

That Toronto basketball team.

Oh ok! I played some nba in the autumn, but cant remember all teams.

e: Wait! What do they have to do with anything hockey?

 

[NotYou]

2 best home teams in the league. I'm sure winnipeg will be better next game but this depends on who can steal one on the road. As happy as I am with the wild this game, we're still a game and a period away from keeping pace.

 

[hamzarocks]

That Toronto basketball team.

That toronto basket ball team is as successful as the Timberwolves if you compare franchise history. Both ringless and with lebron and warriors it probably doesnt stop this year.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Well that’s silly. Both teams are the two best home teams in hockey and why I voted Jets in 7.

 

[BusQuets]

The way goalies have played in this game, i don't think it's over yet.

 

[c9777666]

Come back to win? No, won't happen. Make it 2-2, perhaps.

They did it to Colorado in 2014, they almost did it to Chicago in 2014, and they damn near did it in 2016 vs Dallas.

 

[Buckets and Gloves]

Who was just interviewed on CBC?... Nick??

Is he camera shy or something?... seemed to stutter and not comfortable at all
