So which is the right time? FSN just said game 3 was at 7pm, but the NHL schedule says 8pm.

I've only heard 8. Wild official twitter says 8.

So FSN screwed up. What's new.

 

[Avder]

That schedule the visiting Hawks poster provided is correct

It's in the OP now btw.

 

[wild10]

There you go

 

[Wild Caniac]

Well all I can say is...

SECORD SUCKS!!!

Sweet deal! Altho we get screwed with the Sunday afternoon game.

Nino sucks! Reactionary response. Hope for Minn - Chi rivalry like old days. Way more skill with these player though.

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

Still not confident we'll win this series, but one thing is for sure Hawks, this isn't the same team you played last year. We're not gonna roll over and die as easily as the last one, and we sure as hell aren't going to let Kane skate circles around us like last time either.

 

[Ceiu]

Whelp... Already sick of the main boards again.

I don't have much confidence in this series -- Hawks in six is my guess -- but I wasn't feeling games 6 or 7 either and I was very wrong there.

Maybe they'll pull another rabbit out and make the WCFs.

 

[Gaps]

After watching Chicago take care of the Blues, I have no confidence we will win. I say 4-1 or 4-2 to the Blackhawks.

 

[tomgilbertfan]

Going from the Avs to the Hawks worries me. Hawks have a vastly better D-corps.

 

[Northland Wild Man]

We'll have to see how the series plays out. I still think Chicago's kryptonite is punishing physical play.

The Wild stand a better chance than most against Chicago IMO because they have seen them a lot this year, and last year.

 

[Avder]

The Blues collapse strikes me as at least as much collapse as it was Chicago killing them dead. They just plain choked at the end of the season and after a brief, very brief two game stint of actually breathing, they went right back and choked again.

I think we match up pretty well with Chicago. Our D is doing a pretty decent job. We're a lot faster this year, and I think Yeo is going to realize that when we hit the **** out of them in game 3 last year we ruled the ice.

We play like we have been against Colorado, and we hit the everliving **** out of the Hawks, we can take them.

I think we do it in 6 games, in front of an absolutely berzerk insane asylum full of fans called the Xcel Energy Center.

We're gonna split games 1 and 2, come back to the X and win games 3 and 4, and then come back and stomp em on home ice.

We're finally going to win a series in less than 7 games.

Pregame starts at 7:00.

 

[W75]

Wild are going to be still tired in the first game, Hawks will be fresh. So I wouldn't wait too much in the beginning. But as series goes on, hope it evens up.

 

[Paul Bunyan]

If they can just get a split in the first two games this series will really open up, at home it's going to be tough to beat this Wild squad.

Those times are Chicago time...I don't know if Minneapolis time is the same (lol, sorry - i'm from Toronto).

Good luck!

Chicago and St Paul are both in central time zone, so yeah. I'm from Toronto (Well, the GTA at least) too.

Good luck to you guys as well.

 

[NHL1674]

Tough to judge this series until we know for sure who will be in goal for us.

 

[PariseSuterKoivu]

Hope we play some fresh legs like Fontaine and Veilleux and hold down the minutes a little on the top 2 lines and top 2 D pairings.

 

[MinnesotaGuy]

Ugh. My gut tells me we lose in 6. We will need great depth scoring from our 3rd line, Moulson, and great goaltending to make it to game 7.

 

[Drewcifer]

The Hawks fans on the main board are so unbelievably obnoxious. Not at all like the Avs fans who were classy for the most part.

 

[WillP]

I'm kinda annoyed by how many people seem to think that it's a foregone conclusion that the conference finals is gonna be LA-Chicago. Probably cause they're both recent champs but still...
