Honestly I've looked at the Wild as kind of like the '12 Devils or the '14 Rangers, an unheralded team that nobody noticed cause they were a low seed but got extremely hot in the second half of the season. I would have had them going further than a tight first-round series if not for that murderous division. Like it or not I 'could' see them in the Finals if they get past the big bear (and I don't mean the Blues)

Chicago is better than Minny and if the Ducks can take care of business I think they can grind the wild down. Other than them I think the wild would win any other series. The Blues always run into the toughest opponents early.

 

[StvBroDan]

Sooooooo whats the call

St Louis reminds me of the 06-10 Devils, or even the 97-99 Devils.

It's kind of insulting to compare them to those teams though, at least half the members of those teams had won cups prior to those crappy playoff teams.

Almost all of the 96-97 to 98-99 Devils had won the cup just a couple years before.

I did predict Wild in 7 before the series started. The Wild were red hot for months. They're actually a GOOD team too, unlike some of the other hot teams (*cough* Ottawa *cough*)

lol the poor Jets just got trolled again

 

[Comparison Ford]

The Jets are the unluckiest team of the playoffs so far. It just seems like the Ducks get every break possible.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Good. **** the jets.

 

[StvBroDan]

Zach actually showed up for this playoff season

 

[Devilsgrl35]

Minnesota is really good. They could go far.

And last playoffs too...kind of annoys me he only showed up in the playoffs after leaving here.

Just I think that is where the wild would fall.

West is a damn minefield though. No team is safe.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Great save by Pavalec.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Wow dirty move by Buff...

Geez that's suspendable IMO. Way more worth a game misconduct than what Subban did.

 

[Devils090]

Buff should get a game for that

 

[tr83]

He's lucky he didn't get a game misconduct. I would have tossed him. That was wholly unnecessary.

The league should give him a game for that

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Buff should get a game for that

Only 2 minutes lol. How is that only 2 but Subban slash a game?

 

[Bleedred]

I don't think the Jets are so much unlucky, they just aren't that good.

I don't wanna call them a pretender team like Ottawa, because they're still a way better team than that IMO.

They're just not that great. I think they're a better team than Calgary, though Calgary is just way luckier. They've also got a couple forwards better than Winnipeg's.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

If the Jets come back here I'm gonna be pissed. Should have been a 5 minute penalty for Buff. I bet Buff scores here. Watch.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Damn it. What idiot cleared it into the peg bench? That was so bad...

 

[manilaNJ]

Considering the antics that got Byfuglien suspended just before the playoffs, I think he gets at least 2. Or SHOULD.

Two extremely dirty plays on unsuspecting players not even weeks apart-- DoPS would be straight up chicken **** to give him 1 or less for that. And I love Byfuglien, too.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

The goalies are the weak links on basically all the Western teams.

Except Nashville...and Rinne seems like a bit of a regular season creation that never steps it up in the playoffs.

Except this moronic system the nhl employs bases the punishment on how injured the player is. No injury means one or less.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

This game looks pretty even, but the Ducks don't even look like they are trying.
