GDT: WCQF Game 5 - Wild @ Blues - 8:30 PM CT/4:30 AM Suomi

[NHL1674]

Surprised the hell out of me. Great rebound game for the guys and especially for Dubs. Hitchcock can suck it!

Now DON'T take Game 6 for granted, boys.

 

[Puhis]

Man, this feels good!

WILD WIN! 4-1!




Sharppi, the baton is yours.

 

[Minnesota]

Win!

[The Enemy Within]

That felt so freaking good! Now let's close it out on Sunday fellas! What a night!

[SMTHook]

Best team in the series.

 

[Ceiu]

Massive win tonight. Would be great to close it out in six in front of the home crowd, but at least there's a buffer should **** hit the fan again.

 

[hipchecks]

What a fantastic win tonight. Dubnyk was huge.

Now, bring it on home and let's finish it there.

 

[elnewby]

There's blood in the water.

Finish them Sunday.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

That didn't take long.

 

[Avder]

Well it's not like we have a long and rich playoff history yet.

 

[tomgilbertfan]

That didn't take long.

I'm gonna go with it shows how clutch Nino is, and not how mediocre to bad our team has been in the past.

From a bandwagoner's perspective:

I only saw half the 2nd and all of the 3rd, and this is the first time I've watched the Wild in these playoffs, so here goes impressions:

+Dubnyk was awesome against that genuinely terrifying Blues powerplay.
+Outside of that, a pretty solid job of buttoning down in the 3rd.
+Vanek looked better as the game went on.
+The cycle game looked really good.
-Undisciplined Matt Cooke penalty.

Honestly curious, what does Reeves do? I always thought he was a goon, but he really hasn't hardly had his name called the entire series. You'd think that if he's that irrelevant they would play someone else?

I think 'irrelevant' is too harsh. He's a physical presence.

 

[NHL1674]

First time in Wild history where they can win a series at home. Make it happen, boys.

Would blow the roof right off the X if that happens.

Good take. I agree with everything you said.

What a rebound Dub tonight! See what I did there?
