Thank you, sweet rabbit
Hope Oshie's ok. Didn't look super vicious at first look, but after watching a couple times, Rupp probably gets suspended and that's probably what he deserves.

I think their whole team may be imploding just in time for the playoffs.
Agreed. That was a dumb penalty to take. I admire the fact that we finally took some liberties with the Blues, but Rupp was just dumb out there.
Your avatar is kind of ironic considering what Rupp did tonight.
Was working during the game. Good to hear Folin get his first point. Can anyone tell me how he looked in his first game? And are we thinking this kid could be a gem for us in the future

Exactly. Which is why overall I'm okay with it. It's karma, really.
Still dumb on Rupps part tho.
Humangous big. Got his first NHL point.

Hmm... it's why I'm 100% not okay with it.
There's probably nothing I hate more than "karma" arguments.
I'm not saying it was right. Far from it.
But I'm not gonna shed any tears. We made the right decision to play physical. It took the Blues off their game and rattled them. Rupp made a bad decision in going in for the hit in the way he did, whether intentional or accidental, he needs to hit the body and he should know how to angle his body to make that hit and not the hit to the head.
That said, I'm glad we're not on the receiving end for once.

Seeing the replay a few times, it looks like he took the brunt of it to the jaw. I'm guessing he just got knocked clean out.
Hopefully he's OK. If we do end up facing the Blues in the first round, I'd rather not improve our odds because a guy who doesn't even belong on our roster took out one of their top line wingers...
That aside, that was a fun game to watch. Frolin was noticeable a few times, none of which negative, and we have a surprising offensive night. I'm really liking the team's overall demeanor leading into the playoffs.

Finnesotans?
Did Brodz really score twice???
Yep. Believe it or not you are not passed out and dreaming. Your mind simply can't make **** like this up. Brodz really did score. Twice.
True. And if we face the Blues in the first round, and they take out Parise or any of our key guys....I'm guessing Wild fans wouldn't be happy with Blues' fans using a karma argument.
I just don't understand it. There was no reason for Rupp to be that stupid. The game was just fine, and he had to open a can of worms. He put his team in a situation where the top guys had to spend the 3rd on the bench for their own safety.
I'm all for big, hard, clean hits. I'm all for guys standing up for each other when it's warranted. He did none of that. And worse, he took himself out of the game therefore eliminating the opportunity to protect his teammates had they gotten hit. His role is very limited as it is and he didn't even give himself the chance to fill that role because of a stupid mistake.

Finnesotans?
If this is the case bring on the Blues.
Actually since the Avs won tonight, they're now in the lead for the Central and we would face them in the first round.
If the Avs keep winning you might just get your wish. It's not unreasonable to think they could take #1 overall in the West.
Puhis
Nah.
Watched the highlights and later the Rupp hit. I thought it was maybe slightly late, not sure, but definitely NOT a dirty hit. Rupp is taller than Oshie by far, and he hit him squarely through where a 6'5" man's body would've been. Hands were remotely down, as he used his shoulder to increase the impact.
If Benn didn't get suspended for that **** he pulled on Cooke and Rupp gets the book for this, I don't know what to say. Not that I care since, well, Rupp, but I'd want to see justice.

i swear the whole missed thing here is how ****ing awesome nino is. Such a beast. Gets under their skin like no one else and is a tank out there. Honestly, if anyone else took that hit that he did earlier in the year, they'd be out a LONG time.... but the guy is right back out there battling against bruins and blues and making them remember his name. Doesn't back down against anyone. Totally the type of player this team needs. I never wanna see him play on another team. He's my new (old) man crush for the team. Puhis can have his spurgio, but the nino beast is mine!
Still can't believe we got him for Clutterbuck.
I'd say trade of the year, but what the Sabers got from Snow for Vanek...
