So this whole being down 0-3 thing is just to add more drama to the 30 for 30 episode on this season right?.....right?....

Good Luck Wild.

Hope we can extend our season.

Ooo, startrib got a re-design. Pretty nice, wonder if they figured out the subscription cookies

 

[El Nino 22]

It's urgent.

I honestly don't care if the Wild win tonight. As long as Vanek, Koivu, and Pominville are on the team they aren't doing **** in the post season.

 

[Kaptain]

we're done

 

[nickschultzfan]

I am concerned that Vanek, Pominville, and Koivu are still on 3 separate lines. I would have put all 3 on the same line to both motivate them and also stop them from dragging down the other 2 lines.

Specifically:

Yeo is also going to have to find a way to get through to Vanek. I watched the game again this morning. I counted six times he stopped inside the blue line, five where he turned the puck over and once where he basically did because his pass didn’t connect with Charlie Coyle when Coyle drove the net.

This is absolutely not the way the Wild is supposed to play. This is absolutely not the way Vanek said umpteen times he’s supposed to play just one day before.

The Wild’s gameplan is to get pucks behind Chicago’s defense and try to wear the Blackhawks out. The one time it has done that in this series, it was successful. That is how it rallied from three goals down in the first half of the second period of Game 1.

The problem with playing deep in the offensive zone is it requires hard work. It requires hard work to score and it requires hard work to retreat if the puck is turned over.

Perhaps that why Vanek is seemingly unwilling to follow the gameplan. These turnovers just feed into the Blackhawks’ counterattack game.

 

[BurnsyMN]

Looks like Prosser is back in tonight. Clearly the key to the reverse sweep.

 

[DrPP]

I think the most concerning thing is Suter. If he continues to perform like this in the playoffs, there is little chance for the team to get over the hump.

Prosser hat trick incoming!

 

[NotYou]

Can we please stop trying to run our offense through weak shots from the blue line by offensively inept dmen. Pretty pretty please. Oh, and win the damn game
