Lol Lapanta sounds like he's got a bit of a hoarse voice

 

[The Enemy Within]

Well if we do play Chicago in the playoffs, at least we have the confidence from this sweep going for us.

 

[Lennu32]

Epic win!!!

 

[Minnesota]

20 for Nino!

 

[BigT2002]

Wow. Sweep. Never thought. Where was this last year in the playoffs lol

 

[Wasted Talent]

Nino with 6 goals in 9 games. Guess he really wanted to reach that 20 goal milestone.

 

[BusQuets]

Mainboard sweep thread?

Hawks are a different animal in the postseason. Always have been.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Wonder how the hawks fans on the board were able to stay awake during this boring third period.

Granted ... the 2nd period was a snoozer

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Good win.

 

[melinko]

Yeah, I wouldn't read anything into how the season series went if we face them in the playoffs.

The previous years we played well vs the Hawks in the regular season too.

 

[BusQuets]

Thank god Wild never traded Spurgeon.

and they'll have a rested Keith ready to go for game 1 probably

 

[AKL]

5 games left, if Nashville loses to Dallas tonight, we could theoretically move into the second Wild Card spot and go through the Pacific, which would be ideal.

No doubt. Coyle's face probably did the Hawks a favor. Dude should be out for some playoffs games. Not just given a vacation and allowed to join his club again for the important games.

 

[jedisports]

What a win.

I wonder if coach will be rewarded with even a 1-2 year contract. He's done a magnificent job so far.

 

[AKL]

What a win.

I wonder if coach will be rewarded with even a 1-2 year contract. He's done a magnificent job so far.

Let's wait to see if he can get the team to play through an entire playoffs- no matter how long they're in it- without looking like they've given up.

LA scares me. I don't think the Wild can beat them.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

LA scares me. I don't think the Wild can beat them.

Rather them than Chicago. They don't have a Kane.

 

[AKL]

LA scares me. I don't think the Wild can beat them.

I'd rather take the unknown and maybe lose than take the known route and definitely lose to Chicago. Hell, even if we lose to the Kings, Ducks or Sharks, well at least we didn't lose to the Blackhawks again.

 

[melinko]

Dallas is the team I would choose if I had my pick.

 

[tomgilbertfan]

Torch has some great quotes.

 

[Avder]

Great win.

Keith is human garbage.

First time in 70+ years that the Hawks have lost 5 games to the same team in the regular season. **** yeah.

That is all.

 

[Wild11MN]

"and then tried to double shift him."

Cracked up at that for some reason.

 

[NHL1674]

Dallas is the team I would choose if I had my pick.

No..no...no.....something tells me to stay the #@$! away from them. To put it this way, knowing how we do against the Hawks in the playoffs, I'd still feel more comfortable playing in their building than in Dallas.

On the flip side, I think a Wild/Stars series would finally break Sid Hartman. He wouldn't be able to handle the nostalgia.
