Zuccy: How bout now? Lfg!!!

Oh man if this game wakes Zuccy up full time, that’s huge

Three stars are:

1. Foligno
2. Zucc
3. Gus

Foligno trolling about diving was priceless.

Ha he did his shootout move the broken controller on a playoffs breakaway that’s great

Sometimes I like to call out the player to help break the ice. Nice work Zucc!!

Suter effortlessly skating trying catch Zuccy.

Still can’t believe people use to defend Suter when he was here.

He’s such a lazy dbag!

Dallas is going to start taking runs at players, we need to just roll 3rd and 4th lines.

They’re just unleashing one-ts instead which is really a better way to hurt guys than taking runs

Ok, 4th line gets the final 2 minutes

Man, I don’t know if you could play a better game than that.

Damn impressive win especially playing a man short all game

Great win!

What a game

Heck yeah!!
Great team defense tonight. Not sure what to make of the Ek situation, but loved the team effort. They owned Dallas tonight. Such a better team with Gus in nets. Let’s Go!!

Gotta be the most decisive playoff win in wild history. Never felt like this game was in question. Better follow it up on Sunday.

It was but why do I feel like I will I have to pay for it. Game 4 is the true test.

Happy for Zuccarello, he needed this game and so did the team.

Ho-hum just another +2 game for Faber, he played great next to Klingberg… I think the D are now set for the playoffs baring injuries…

Johansson might be the best cheap pick-up I’ve ever seen

Absolutely loved the crowd getting on suter the entire game

Hold EE out until he’s ready. Give Steel his shot.

They cleaned up a lot.

Didn’t over do anything, just kept everything simple.

Zuc going is so important! If he can get going, KK will get going.

Boldy had a good game and needs to just keep playing hockey.

Defense was very solid.

Faber and Klingberg, not a bad pairing. Wasn’t sure how that’d play out.

No stupid penalties.

Foligno’s message to the Dallas bench about flopping was heard loud and clear. They know they are weak on their skates at times and have a tendency to fall down easily. They were called out on it,and now it’s very obvious. Reminded me of a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

Dallas looked tired and there was zero fight in them. No way they don’t come out way stronger Sunday. Benn and Suter did not look good. Lotta cringing by Dallas players. Pretty shocked we stayed out of the box as much as we did.

Gus didn’t stand on his head, but he didn’t have too. Flower can ride the pine. Hot goalie, work him like a rented mule.

I wonder if now is the time to swap Reaves out for Sundquist? Dallas cant afford to be stupid physically anymore, Sundquist has been great since he got here and can obviously do alot more on the ice than Reaves…

Got to admit, if there was a weak goal or two this could’ve been a different game. Flower is a solid backup if things go sideways. Gus needs to be the man now until a bad outing.

I think you keep Reaves in. He may not be better but at least you intimidate Dallas in the process. It seems to be effective.

For those that could not stay up late enough

Don’t disagree but there was a week goal. Gus didn’t break a sweat in this game.

Don’t know what they showed in the telecast but Foligno Dumba and Middleton all mocked the flopping by Dallas tonight.

Sub plots in the NHL playoffs are great.

Hate to say it but Dallas looks terrible. Wild look good but if you watch Dallas they look sluggish. It’s should really be 5-1.

The physical play is making a huge difference.

Agree. I wonder what fishing site the Stars fans are talking about stripping the C from their captain and Robertson being a net negative

Bumping this up because I’m legitimately curious what fishing forum they talk hockey on. Maybe there’s a thread on BBC ??
