We gonna play the hockey!

 

[Sad People]

Lets go Wild!

 

[Minnesota]

drink when you hear:

“wow this game has a playoff feel”

subsequently:

physicality equaling a “rivalry”

 

[f7ben]

So is Boldy a bust now?

Nope. Not even close.

 

[f7ben]

Nope. Not even close.

I’m thinking bust for sure

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

We’re gonna make the Avs look like a bunch of bitches

 

[Bdub]

No Landahack in the lineup today for the avs.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Avs most overrated team in the game

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

Tough one on the backend of a back-to-back.

I would be happy with a point here, but if we take penalties we're going to lose by 3

Zuccarello has to stay out of the box. That long stick of his is getting him into trouble. Oh, and Greenway? Marcus can take care of himself.

 

[Prior]

F1 race into a Wild game later. Should be a good day.

Hope the Wild can play their game and not chase the rough stuff all night. Assuming we will see a Deslauriers fight with the Avs plug but hopefully that is the extent of it and they can get to the point of trying to win the actual game.

Can’t stand the Avs but my brother in law and many on here consider them overrated? Are they 15 points clear of the rest of the division on hype or luck? Love to see a win today but don’t count on the PK saving the day. Wild need to stay out of the box. Foligno fighting is accomplishing zero. He is way more valuable playing hockey leading a shut down line. The useless fight versus the Canucks threw off the lines and they barely won. Don’t get me wrong, sticking up for team mates and heavy hits I love but these staged fights did not inspire anything.

MacDiramid is no easy scrap for Deslaurier or Middleton. Hopefully the Wild can get a lead and not have that the focus.

The entire rest of the season is going to depend on this game. All of it.

Can you quantify the importance for me in either Stanley Cups or Libraries of Congress?

If we win, 0 Cup difference. If we lose, it costs us at least...3 Stanley Cups.

 

[Hall of Faber]

Those Avs fans are really gonna to hate this post TDL lineup.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Hope Jost gets on the board tonight, he has been playing well enough to put up a couple. Stay out of the box and get in Makar's face, hope for another stellar net front game from JEE. We win the 5v5 play, but special teams is heavily in their favor.

 

[Spurgeon]

I don’t get the early start on the 2nd night of a B2B. Not that 2 hours matters much, but I don’t get why this game isn’t at 7

McDermid is a very tough guy, but Deslaurier is his match, leaving Foligno and Middleton free range. Tough luck for Perez today.

4 Stanley ucps if Mackinnon succssfully elbows Kap and Foligno and Deslaurier get punched out.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

A win today and I’d probably start getting my hopes up again that we can win a couple rounds. I’m ready to get hurt again

Yep.

Win, and we can start mentally preparing for a deep run. Lose, and we can all check out for the rest of the season.

No in-between.
