GDT: 17 Apr 2014: DIVISION SEMIFINALS - GAME 1 - Wild @ Avs - PART II

[BigT2002]

So what do you guys think about Bryz? thought he let few relatively easy ones tonight.. Not that defense was that much better, but seemed like he could've atleast stop 1 of those 2 when wild led 4-2.

Blue line needs more work than people want to admit to. I'm not satisfied with #5 and #6 and no one should be either. Don't care what the stupid +/- says. Prosser and Stoner played like complete *******. Spurgeon right behind him with a lot of stupid passes, namely his big "wtf' moment.

 

[Sharppi]

I love the sky is falling attitudes. Makes me laugh.

Sky is not falling then when we **** our pants from 4-2 lead to 4-5 devastating OT loss? Ok.

 

[W75]

Wasn't Bryz's fault. He was good enough.

 

[Jaykay]

Tough loss, get the next one.

Bryz was my biggest worry and he justified that tonight.

 

[melinko]

Hopefully this doesn't send Bryz into a tailspin.

That's my biggest worry right now.

 

[Wild Caniac]

I just feel so deflated. I got my hopes up, and they were demolished. These are the days where you question Minnesota sports curses. I just don't understand life sometimes.

 

[Sharppi]

Wasn't Bryz's fault. He was good enough.

Letting in 5 goals in a playoff game is not good enough.

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

A lot of you guys are starting to look like Canuck's fans with all the whining about the refs. Hopefully the team doesn't buy into that attitude or they will start getting no calls like the Canucks.

This game is 100% on the Wild not the refs.

I agree the Wild lost this game well before the OT goal but if you can just run into a player, knock him over and then run into another one after you fall down after running into the player and have it not be called, how is interference called in any game?

 

[BigT2002]

First game back for Granlund... he's getting back up to speed. He played decent, and had some good pressure, he'll get back to where he was.

I don't doubt that at all. But it is playoffs....you don't get "time" to do it. Need it now. And if he can't, limit his time if they can at least to get someone out there who can make a different when that line gets a mismatch.

 

[Minnewildsota]

Sky is not falling then when we **** our pants from 4-2 lead to 4-5 devastating OT loss? Ok.

Its totally Sky is falling mentality. We controlled most of the game. We lose one game and apparently we're going to get swept? Yeah, ok.

 

[W75]

Packing my things, fishing gear, beer, some clothes. To the cottage, gonna find the peace and gonna be ready for another set of emotions on sunday. Or saturday or when they play next time.

 

[Avder]

Seriously how do Minnesota teams always invent new ways to lose games they're on track to win?

Gary Anderson. Favre's interception. Joe Mauer's phantom double. Nick Punto getting picked off third. Everything about the end of this game, from the atrocious officiating to the even-more-atrocious defensive zone play.

And why is it that the moment something unfortunate like that happens, they're completely doomed and everyone knows it?

The only one not completely on Minnesota is the 09 game against the cheaters from na'wlins. Had they not been illegally hitting Farve all game, he would have ran and slid.

 

[Jaykay]

Wasn't Bryz's fault. He was good enough.

He wasn't, that last goal was very soft.

 

[puckMAN]

Hey Mike,maybe now is a good time to take that timeout seeing as you still have it you bald ****.

 

[behemolari]

I just feel so deflated. I got my hopes up, and they were demolished. These are the days where you question Minnesota sports curses. I just don't understand life sometimes.

seems it's too early to start question those curses

they will bounce.

 

[NHL1674]

I'd like to see more from some of the vets. This game felt like the kids were in the driver's seat. That's not a bad thing, but we need the vets to really do some damage.

 

[FVM]

I love the sky is falling attitudes. Makes me laugh.

Oh get off your high horse. This was a crushing defeat, no matter how you look at it. Saturday is a new game but right now it just plain sucks.

 

[llamapalooza]

The worst part of MN sports syndrome is how we have to hear all the national media talking about what a "great comeback it was" by Colorado instead of acknowledging it for what it was.

 

[BigT2002]

He wasn't, that last goal was very soft.

Defense didn't pick him up. Stastny was wide the hell open. Who the **** leaves an All Star, Olympian, completely wide open on the backdoor? Wild got sloppy

 

[Barkkonen]

Blue line needs more work than people want to admit to. I'm not satisfied with #5 and #6 and no one should be either. Don't care what the stupid +/- says. Prosser and Stoner played like complete *******. Spurgeon right behind him with a lot of stupid passes, namely his big "wtf' moment.

So you are ok with Bryz, I haven't seen many wild games this year compared to previous years but what i've gathered their defense has been pretty good overall... or atleast better than their offense. So kinda weird to see them lose 5-4 in playoffs, very uncharacteristic if you ask me.

 

[Sharppi]

Its totally Sky is falling mentality. We controlled most of the game. We lose one game and apparently we're going to get swept? Yeah, ok.

Yes we are, as it was a crushing defeat. This **** was doomed from the start. Can you remember the last years playoffs? Same result this year. 5 games and exit.

You can be confident all you want, but this team is a proven choker.

 

[The Enemy Within]

The only one not completely on Minnesota is the 09 game against the cheaters from na'wlins. Had they not been illegally hitting Farve all game, he would have ran and slid.

Or had we not had the too many men in the huddle penalty.. Perhaps he doesn't feel like he needs to throw that pass across his body like he did. idk.. Either way.. Same ole same ole.

 

[W75]

He wasn't, that last goal was very soft.

Ok, it might've been. Don't remember the last goal anymore. Didn't bother to watch the replays.

 

[INTOTHEVOID]

We gave that game away... and in my opinion that sucks.

 

[llamapalooza]

The only one not completely on Minnesota is the 09 game against the cheaters from na'wlins. Had they not been illegally hitting Farve all game, he would have ran and slid.

Eh there's a spectrum. Mauer's phantom double was mostly on the refs. Tonight was at least partially on the refs. The common denominator is how other teams recover, but Minnesota––even when they're still leading or are tied after one of those moments––already knows they've lost when it happens.
