Tidbits: Post-Series Discussion: Blues vs. Wild - WILD WIN 4-2!!

[00xtremeninja]

well, we changed history by winning our first ever game 5, change history again and win a series at home?

 

[gphr513]

Well, it wouldn't be a Wild team in the playoffs without a Game 7

But yes, as I think someone alluded to in another thread, this is the 1st time the Wild have ever been able to win a round while at home. It would be nice to celebrate after the game is done!

Yeah, I heard on NHLN that this is the first time in team history that we've led a series going into an elimination game.

Before the game I predicted whoever scores first would win. And I'm so happy to be wrong. Hope the Wild can end the series on Sunday.

So, I guess we matched it tonight?

We won, but outside of the second period, that was not really a game I would expect us to win the majority of the time.

My only point, because I'm stoked we won, is that we should not be too cocky about that win.

This is similar to game 2 where the score was not indicative of the game and the Blues should not have been as cocky as they were.

The Blues really should have had last nights game, but/for Doooobs! Rebounded amazingly well.

What a strange series....teams winning road games and there hasn't been hardly any drama in any of the wins (win by 2, lose by 3, win by 3, lose by 5, win by 3). Just complete opposite of the Colorado series.

Not the fist time ever winning a game 5,did it twice in 03 being that they were down 3-1in 2 different series.Would be nice to finally see them win a series at home.

blues outshot us, they scored first and had several chances in the first to put us behind the 8 ball. not the dominate wild win i was hoping for. i guess a playoff win is a win. refs were a little bit homers in the 3rd but we survived. go wild!

weird, I must have misread that stat somewhere then. Ah well.

We can close this out on Sunday man.. we have to.. just ****in play your game and finish them

The Wild know the can feed off the crowd like it's a 6th skater so I find it hard to believe they will blow it. Especially after Duby said they view it as a do or die game 7.

Our advantage in goal showed up big yesterday. That's what a hot goalie does in the playoffs. I don't expect anything less from Doobs, guy has been on a roll since January. He's made some incredible saves this series and his demeanor is world class. So happy for the guy right now.

Lesson learned after game 4, close them out in game 6.

New favorite playoff line....The bulldozer line.... Nino/Kap/Stew

Still finding this pretty hilarious. Small sample size ftw.

Haha rocking the most dangerous power-play in the league
Less than 24 hours until the next beatdown begins, can't wait!!

Just under 24 hours until game 6!

I wish I had a "knock yourself out for 23 hours" button.

Yea, the power play is great....

My gdt is gonna be a bit late. I'm drunk as fuark right now and its not ready yet.

Earlier this week, Russo quoted Yeo about shadowing Tarasenko similar to how they shadowed McKinnon, saying that they cannot do that since St. Louis Blues have too many weapons. Well, since Yeo has last change tomorrow and Tarasenko has been the one carrying their offense, do you think he does shadow Tarasenko tomorrow? Force Steen, Backes, Oshie, etc. to score...


Nostalgia says suit up Walz

Yea, it should be 50%!

Really fishing for 'em now aren't they...

Ye that worked nice, Tarasenko only done hattrick like every other game.

The headlines on NHL.com are almost always cringe-worthy.

Although "Oh Coyle Rules" made me lol

I'm curious how many of those PPG are from the second unit. Seems like the first unit still isn't producing much.

First PPG was Dumba, from Stewart and Spurgeon
Second was the Pominville ENG
Third was Spurgeon from Nino and Granlund
Fourth was Koivu from Parise and Suter

Nah soccer actually has some potential for excitement.

The NBA has some games today, I could lay in bed and turn one of those on...I'll be out in 15 minutes.
