Especially when I was at a friend's thinking about how this site probably went into a meltdown when it was announced Backstrom was hurt.
I was at the Edmonton game, I saw Harding then (actually all three appearances he had this season before tonight live), and I'm sure everyone thought that this team was proper ****ed, and instead, they almost win it and he pulls off some of the best saves I've seen from him, and they take this team that everyone loves to slobber over to OT.
I do have that sinking suspicion that this particular game was the series, as the emotional win it could have been might have really propelled the Wild here. It's usually moral victories with teams from this state and this is definitely another one of those.
It can be something to build on....or something that's soul crushing. Friday is the tell tale factor.

That is what I asked. I thought he was disappointing all year. Too bad. Hopefully he will make up for it in Game 2.

I'm not going to say disappointing, but he is not physical enough IMO. We need him to win battles.
I agree. If he does not perform, you have no chance of winning. Anyway, your team played better then I ever expected. Congrats on that. Good luck with Game 2.

If Falk gets a start in this series after the way Scandella played I am going...well.....I am going to come on here and *****, that's what I am going to do!
I really thought Scandella played well tonight.

Agreed. Only saw the 3rd period on, but he really impressed me. Spurgeon played better as well--whether that was partly due to Scandella or not is up in the air.
Maybe Scandella's play will help take some of the burden off of Suter/Brodin going forward... it was nice having at least a "decent" 2nd pair for a change.

My take...

Wow, I am not even crushed they lost. Can't ask for a much better effort than that. Quenneville's post game was funny, he looked really annoyed. I have a full game recap and prospect updates on Tyler Graovac and Raphael Bussieres. Enjoy!

GO USA!
What a hell of a game! I'm not even really mad, I'm proud of how the team played. If they play the same way on Friday, I think we can take game 2 with Pominville added into the lineup.

I hate "what ifs" but I'm going to be seeing that Crossbar in my sleep these next 2 days. Can't imagine what Zucker will be seeing.
Caption this?
"Hey Parise! You keep playing like this and Leipold says don't bother cashing your last check. Hey wait, maybe he was saying that to me?"

One more for me...
"Yeah, me too, Zach. I respect the hell out of Collins for coming out like he did. Don't tell the guys, tho."
Good game plan by the Wild. They played good D, chipped the puck out of their end at every opportunity, and waited for a break. They had a few, but couldn't close the deal.
Scandella looked OK. Nice to see a D man with some size and mobility out there. 4th line played surprisingly well. Cullen was pretty good-hope he didn't tweak something on that chance in front of the net- Seto so-so- Zucker weak at some times, dangerous at others. PMB OK for a change. Coyle didn't look so good to me. Kind of clumsy and ineffective. Clutter played well. Suter was good but made a bad decision on the final play. When you play as much as he is, sooner or later you make a mistake.
Rupp looked funny as hell trying to skate without a blade

I blew it, couldn't wake up at 3am to watch the game. Now I'm really disappointed about myself.
Nice to see it was a close game, and that Zuckers post/crossbar/wherever it hit what I saw from highlights was basic luck for us.
But yeah, I only saw highlights.
