Bruce can't get redemption in game 7 in this round... if he gets a game 7 redemption, it would have to come against the Ducks or Caps in game 7.
That said... I voted Wild in 6.
Bruce has never won a game 7, hence redemption.
Yes, he has actually... he's won 1 game 7.
Edited too quick for ya.
People will make it a Yeo vs Wild thing because we just fired him a season ago. Just like if the Habs/Bruins matchup in the playoffs, it will be all about the coaches.I'm just going to say this right now, because if we lose this series, you damn well know some people are going to hop on Yeo's bandwagon again saying how we should have kept him. So here it is...
Should we lose this round, I'm still glad we got rid of Yeo. I would take BB 10 times out of 10....with the exception of March, he got this team to soar in so many departments. He believed in the kids. He favored nobody. And he made the games a lot more fun to watch. Glad we got him.
It's a damn shame that many in the media will try to make it a Yeo vs. Wild thing.
Thirty-plus years of being a Minnesota sports' fan....I just think it would be so typical to blow this series. I could see the Blues in 6 games. We're finding our feet again, but the Blues are pretty hot right now. It'll come down to goaltending. Dubs needs to start making the big saves again, while the defense also has to get their **** together consistently.People will make it a Yeo vs Wild thing because we just fired him a season ago.

I'm not worried about who says what. The proof is in the regular season pudding already who was the better coaching fit for this team. The Wild are on the verge of setting a franchise record in points on the season with virtually the same roster. Yes Staal helped, but he wasn't the difference between 87pts and 104+.
That said... the Wild SHOULD win this series. If the team plays like they are capable of playing, there's not much Yeo and the Blues can do about it.
Almost 40yrs here as a Minnesota sports fan and I'm not so pessimistic.Thirty-plus years of being a Minnesota sports' fan....I just think it would be so typical to blow this series.

Hopefully playoff-Haula shows up.
And playoff Granlund , playoff Nino, playoff Coyle, and playoff Spurgeon.
What I really want to see is playoff Dubnyk, though.
