[fieldset=Quotes, from Russo]
Devan Dubnyk: “That’s our job, to keep going at them. That’s part of the playoffs, the pressure that comes with the success they’ve had in the regular season.”

Mike Yeo: “It was nice to get this one for sure, compared to the way we started previous years here, but there’s an awful lot of work to be done. It doesn’t feel any different right now, and maybe it’s the opponent that we’re playing. We did a good job tonight. That’s great. But this is a long series.”

Devan Dubnyk: “We were great with the puck, we were fast coming up the ice on turnovers and we did a good job with keeping them to the outside, especially in the second period,”

Zach Parise: “It was deflating for their building. When you can get a road lead two minutes into Game 1, that’s really important. We know they’re a really good team. We expect them to play a really good Game 2. There’s room for us to improve. We can play better. But it was a good start.”

To add to my last post in the series thread...

I think you're mixing up the names for the 10 Minute Misconduct and Game Misconduct.

Nope

In the event of "MISCONDUCT" penalties to any players except the goalkeeper, the players shall be ruled off the ice for a period of ten (10) minutes each. A substitute player is permitted permitted to immediately replace a player serving a misconduct penalty. A player whose misconduct penalty has expired shall remain in the penalty box until the next stoppage of play.

When a player receives a minor penalty and a misconduct penalty at the same time, the penalized Team shall immediately put a substitute player on the penalty bench and he shall serve the minor penalty without change.

When a player receives a major penalty and a misconduct penalty at the same time, the penalized Team shall place a substitute player on the penalty bench before the major penalty expires and no replacement for the penalized player shall be permitted to enter the game except from the penalty bench. Any violation of this provision shall be treated as an illegal substitution under Rule 17 calling for a bench minor penalty.
A misconduct penalty imposed on any player at any time shall be accompanied with an automatic fine of one hundred dollars ($100).
A "GAME MISCONDUCT" penalty involves the suspension of a player for the balance of the game but a substitute is permitted to replace immediately the player so removed. A player incurring a game misconduct penalty shall incur an automatic fine of two hundred dollars ($200) and the case shall be reported to the Commissioner who shall have full power to impose such further penalties by way of suspension or fine on the penalized player or any other player involved in the altercation.
The Referee may impose a "GROSS MISCONDUCT" penalty on any player, Manager, Coach or Trainer who is guilty of gross misconduct of any kind. Any person incurring a "gross misconduct" penalty shall be suspended for the balance of the game and shall incur an automatic fine of two hundred dollars ($200) and the case shall be referred to the Commissioner of the League for further disciplinary action.

(NOTE) For all game misconduct and gross misconduct penalties regardless of when imposed, a total of ten minutes shall be charged in the records against the offending player.

Read for yourself on all the details beyond

Now on to this GDT!!!!

The power of Emma compels you!

Let's get our franchise's first ever 2-0 series lead!!!!!

Gotta think the Blues come out firing in the 1st. I think if we make it out of the 1st tied or ahead, we've got a great shot of leaving up 2-0.

That $200 fine is amusing. It'd be like a cop handing out 25 cent fines for speeding.

Game 3 in Liiga finals at 4 pm and Wild game 2 at 10 pm! I love this day

 

[BurnsyMN]

Please go up 2-0. I want to see how rowdy the X can get with a chance to go up 3-0.

 

[gphr513]

Please go up 2-0. I want to see how rowdy the X can get with a chance to go up 3-0.

If we come back to St. Paul up 2-0.... Man, the X will be rocking.

 

[Wild48]

Wild need to come out and get a goal in the first 5 minutes. Getting up early would create a hostile environment from blues fans and could turn the whole building against them.

@Talon

Well whatever, learn something new.

Now back to the regularly scheduled gdt.

 

[NHL1674]

7-1 Wild. Dubnyk hattrick. #boldpredictions

 

[charger66]

Get up early and the crowd will turn........be best if stewie could pot the 1st one) muahahaha

 

[Engebretson]

We really need to be ready for the Blues to come out hot today. If we can withstand their initial pressure and sneak in an early lead, I like our chances of going back to St. Paul up 2-0.

In the Star tribune Parise, Coyle, & Niederriter all said they can still play at a higher level, don't want to give the momentum up, and feel they can come home with a 2-0 lead!

 

[BladesofSTEELwFIRE]

7-1 Wild. Dubnyk hattrick. #boldpredictions

The goalie with a hat trick??

 

[Lapa]

The goalie with a hat trick??

That's why it's a bold prediction.

 

[BigT2002]

This one will be a lot tougher. They need to be prepared for a very physical, and chippy, game.

[charger66]

If the wild go up 2-0......

 

[BigT2002]

If the wild go up 2-0......

Considering home play as of late, they'll need it.
