Anyone know the refs for tonight?

 

[FinPanda]

Granlund with GWG in overtime.

Russo's twitter:

“@Russostrib any word on officials for game 7?â€McCauley and Furlatt

 

[Wild Caniac]

McCauley isnt that bad right?

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

There is only one reason why Veilleux is in the line-up.

It doesn't get any better than tonight (other than the fact that I won't get back til' around 9:30 due to work). Three different game sevens, good rivalries, and stories to tell. Can the Sharks stop the epic comeback by LA? Rangers Flyers rivalry continues. Wild and Avs maybe developing a rivalry?

Oh what I wouldn't give for a Flyers Penguins second round match-up. The most exciting NHL hockey right there when those two teams play each other, and the atmosphere is phenomenal, as is Boston Montreal. Wild potentially getting a second crack at Chicago, and another California rivalry between the Ducks Kings/Sharks.

I love it. I ****ING LOVE IT!!!

Did you guys know the series would be over if Tyson fricken Barrie didn't get hurt?

 

[TheeNorthStar]

Im so scared.

 

[BurnsyMN]

according to Scouting the Refs website the Wild are 4-1 this season when he refs. Not that it means anything. I'll take any good vibes at this point though.

 

[10coach*]

Im so scared.

You can't play scared and you can cheer scared.

It would've been over in 5 if the Wild didn't turtle in games 1 and 5. Or if the refs didn't hand game 5 over on a silver platter.

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts we'd all be a metric ton.

This is completely true. Yeah, we got hosed by the refs, but in reality we let a bad call (or several) keep us from winning game 5. So, we'll just have to win it in 7

 

[Sharppi]

All of our levels need to be high today.

Compete level
Battle level
Sea level
Level level

Lets do this.

 

[DANOZ28]

Everyone knows about the Brunette goal in Game 7 of the 2003 QF's, but I just remember another gem from a Game 7 in Avalanche lore...

im really hoping late in the game they have to pull their goalie & kuemper makes a statue of liberty save!

 

[Avder]

The Hawks are waiting.

LETS ****ING DO THIS!!!

I'm ****ing PUMPED. First Minnesota Wild game 7 in 11 years. We've got the momentum. I think tonight is the night we finally solve Varlamov.

5-1 Wild. The Wild come out flying in the first and take 3 with one additional goal in the 2nd and 3rd. The Avs get a garbage time goal in the closing minutes of their season.

Wild: Parise, Koivu, Granlund, Pominville, Moulson
Avs: Duchene

that would be beyond awesome if you were right, but i cant see it going like that.

 

[Bazeek]

So per Russo's blog update it sounds like Yeo stopped at Denny's and got one of those Top 9 Scramblers. Speculating we'll see the following to start:

Parise - Koivu - Coyle
Nino - Granlund - Pominville
Moulson - Haula - Heatley
Veilleux - Brodziak - McCormick

Lines are gonna be all over the place tonight.

 

[BigT2002]

I can't see Heatley on that 3rd line if Haula is out there against Mackinnon. They'll get slaughtered.

 

[Screaming Buffalo]

Poor Haula. I like the 4th line better than the 3rd.

 

[MNjens]

Felt confident about game 6 and this one is a toss up to me. Know idea what will happen. With Duchene back that's an added worry for me. Also not sure about Moulson and Heater on a line together. Surprisingly Heater is the better skater and has played decent so far but still worried. Love the 4th line with Veilleux's speed and physicality.

I'll be working for the 1st half of the game and I'm sure I will be nervous as hell for the last part of the game. Either way Go Wild!!! Fight to the End!!

4-3 Wild in OT.

You're probably right about that. I mean if Cooke controls himself and stays in the series the Wild probably already have their road victory in tow.

 

[BigT2002]

Can someone please elaborate for me why scratching Fontaine in favor of Heatley or Sparkplug is the way to go? Fontaine could at least skate against that top line? Heater on it means our 3rd line is going to hardly be effective against them. I'm guessing Zach-Koivu-Coyle end up matched against them now? Suter can't be out there all the time when they have last change.

 

[buketdude]

Lets do this..i will be tired tmrw at work...and I hope its for a good reason!

I'm telling myself that the Universe is arranging things so that Heatley is the hero of the series. And I possess a remarkable capacity of self-delusion, so it's working so far.
