Crowd chanting "Free Matt Cooke"
HOLY ****
That's...that's amazing!
That is a level of troll I didn't think Wild fans had in them.

Close, it's bruises, but I'm sure he has some bruices too!
so the power went out at the end of the 1st. went to my grandma's, but had to wait until the bos/det game finished up. missed all of the 2nd. had a bit of a freakout.
but man, what's up with this team? imagine if we were playing a team with an average goalie.
I wish everybody on the boards could hear and see the fans these last 2 games. In the seats, in the concourse, the stairwells, and on the streets. So loud. So happy. To other fans around the league, it may seem silly to go so crazy after just a couple wins in a tied series. But we rarely have things to celebrate in this sports town and it's like 19000 plus completely letting loose. It's so quiet during the regular season. Tonight when the Wild had a prime chance but hit the pipe, one section started chanting "You got lucky." Almost caught on. It's night and day right now. Fans are involved.
Good game. Lots of missed opportunities, which we have to get better at. Bad goal by Kemps, but he's allowed one. The kids are really stepping up this postseason. Next game is gonna be a whole other beast. Avs are angry, and they'll have the fans on their side. I feel like McLeod and Bordy are ticking time bombs.

Thanks for this. Being in CO I have to watch on Altitude now that Center Ice is done. Great seeing those final 2 minutes from FSN-N perspective.[nhl]609534[/nhl]
Right, so I just got back from the game and I will say without a doubt that was the best atmosphere I've been at for a Wild game.
People were up, cheering, yelling until they were hoarse, swearing, starting sieve chants, towel waiving, booing, clapping for good play, willing the team on --- everything I think we all want for EVERY game.
Not to mention getting the win was incredibly sweet, especially considering the absolutely horrid job that crew did on the ice tonight.
Oh, and if anyone calls our team "dirty" after this one...they can jump in a lake. Colorado focused way too much on trying to be physical and run Granlund 2,848,458,420 times that they didn't actually play much hockey at all.
Prosser was held down on the ice away from the play for at least 5-8 seconds or more.
Held down, the opposing player looks at the official, sees he's not looking and then holds him down more. No call. I assume the TV camera panned away at that point but we were going berserk in our section. That was one of the more egregious ones.
Ahhhh also, not sure if anyone saw it on TV or not (haven't scrolled through all the threads) but pictures of Varlamov at his hearing for domestic violence and his mugshot were definitely pressed up against the glass every time he looked back for a drink of water....
It was also awesome talking hockey with Dave Christian and a few other Minnesota based pros before the game, KFAN wanted me for pictures as did the FSN girls. Good times all around.
That's...that's amazing!
