They’re really putting Flower in for OT hahaha that’s so awesome. Best game ever

you called that one!

If i see Brazeau out there i’m shutting my tv off!

Flower gets his send off.

I’d love to see Brazeau out now… best guy i can think of to block a bunch of shots on the 4v3. Please no Faber or Brodin or Spurgeon or Ek

Would be funny if the Wild game goes to OT and they start Merrill, Trenin, and Brazeau. Pop Flower in net for a 5 minute finale and shootout, if he wants it. Realistically should do that if the game makes it there.

If the Blues don’t beat a hot Utah team in Regulation, Calgary could win out and bump them. Vegas is resting pretty much everyone tonight in Calgary, and LA probably does the same on Thursday.

Do you have any stock tips for me? Incredible call.

I absolutely hate that they’re playing the big dogs in this OT

bah, get Flower the W

Yeah don’t see the point in putting your best players out there.

And flower with a W….Give him first star.

Such a crazy ending! That’s how you generate some freaking juice for the playoffs!

OK fine now that it’s over I can admit the 5 minutes of OT was 10x more fun to watch than the 60 minutes of regulation.

Very cool story book ending for Le Fleur. Awesome that he wanted the OT, and then put on a show to boot!

Can you imagine if Ek’s rebound gets swatted out of the crease at the end of the 3rd instead of him tapping it in again?!?

As fun as that was, it’s the ducks.

Was their ever a doubt they would make the playoffs.

Seriously, the Wild would be dumb not to swap Buium for Merrill in the playoffs…. He can get the PP strategy down in a couple of practices and protect his 5-5 minutes if needed… the 5 forwards desperation strategy isn’t working at all… we need PP goals to have any success in the playoffs

I was thinking they should get Buium in somehow too. This team needs a little boost to have much of a chance.

Or we just decline power plays… kidding (kind of)

Calgary ties it 3 to 3. This season may have literally come down to 20 seconds and 1 goal.

Throw Buium in Midstrom’s spot right now. Both goals tonight directly caused by him getting caught in awkward spots and not executing. He’s been low-key brutal for a couple months now. Faber has come back to life since getting separated from him.

Kirill and Boldy had absolutely no chemistry or flow. Couldn’t complete simple passes to each other all night.

Where’s Mojo been hiding this stuff all year?! Incredible game from him start to finish.

Calgary wins it in a shootout…

DO YOU FEEL THAT WILD FANS?!?

5 years of major buyout pain is now OVER! We survived it! We’re now swimming in capspace!

Wait…what? Kirill and Rossi extensions will cost how much?
