That was great!

Loved it

Well we jettisoned one playoff no show, so maybe we will see an improvement.

We didn't exactly replace him with anyone though, so I have my doubts

 

[TaLoN]

For some reason MN has Tampa's number. I counted both games against them as wins before the season started.

I'm guessing that's why 11 of us predicted a Wild win tonight and 4 of us predicted the Wild scoring 5 or more in the process.

Better PP. Better PK. Better goaltending (Gus). Boldy's line will determine how far in the playoffs they go. Kap's line is going to score. GREEF is going to do it's thing. Shaw-Dewar-Reaves is playing fantastic. If Boldy's line doesn't score, they will lose in the 1st round again.

Saw him grimacing right after the glove save, don't know if he got it wrong on his hand, or if he tweaked something on the stretch. Hopefully its not serious, he was fantastic tonight.

Big win, always nice to know that we can skate with the Lightning, Kap always puts on a show too!

I blame myself... I was planning an NHL thread about how Ottawa is stupid keeping Forsberg over him to acquire Talbot.

I actually didn’t mind the tnt crew tonight. Obviously not the Bally crew that is 100 percent Wild all the time, but I thought they were ok. Could’ve been worse, could’ve been ESPN. I’m convinced Amsterdam Vodka pays part of Hextalls salary. Sales must increase 1000 fold whenever she does a game.

Great win Wild. Let's hope Gus is just a little banged up.
Edit: Saw the tweet. He is sick. That's way better than hurt.

 

[ThatGuy22]

We can call them an ok regular season team. Can't call them good until they actually do something in the post season. We've heard this record before, it tends to skip and repeat the same tropes over and over...
Remember we were the #2 team in the west last season, yet what did that gain us?

Really wierd season too compared to last year.

Colorado is ravaged by injuries, and basically the Rantenen show.

Calgary is a 100% different team.

St Louis got old in a hurry and got big injuries.

Edmonton is still a very 2 man show (a very good two man show).

Winnipeg is 100% dependent on Helybuck.

The west is weak as f*** this year. Vegas and Dallas seem like the most firm teams but after them I have a hard time seeing another team that's weakness is worse than ours(high end C)

 

[TaLoN]

Great to hear! (well... sux that he is sick, but great that he's not injured)

 

[Bdub]

5-1 over Tampa Bay. Can we call the Wild good yet?

Tampa didnt play close to there best hockey tonight. They also played last night. Dont get to excited we all know what this team is.

Lost in the mix, Sam Steel broke his 6 goal curse in this game, congrats to him.

Only 10 or 11 more to go.

 

[Sota Popinski]

Last night's win makes it 10 in a row at home against Tampa Bay, if what they said on the broadcast last night was correct.

 

[thestonedkoala]

A win against a quality team is still a win. Not going to say that with any backhanded compliment. Regardless of having a team's number this was a quality win.

Next stop, 50!

10 points in his last 11 games. He’s been a nice stop gap at center.
