I have them paired with the Rangers.
Who doesn’t?
Anyone else share my feeling that if the Wild win today that will all but wrap up the series? I just don’t see the Blues taking four out of the next five.
I’m actually more worried about this than anything.
This thread will end when the curse ends.
Not until June, hopefully.
Fun to read the beginning of this thread.

The wild have virtually owned them all season.I know. I don’t know what it is…makes me nervous. However there’s nothing I’d like more than knocking them out.

WHEN the Wild advance to the cup finals who do you guys have them playing? I have them paired with the Rangers.
I do not share that feeling. Anything can happen. Kings were down and out a couple times last year. I feel safe each series when we win 4.
Yeah I got Rangers v Wild. Although I was torn between them and the lightning. Lightning have a good team too.

Lol I got through 6 pages at work one day. Still need to go through the rest.
I was having flashbacks to ’03 when 1/2 the game wasn’t televised on direct tv.
First playoff game!

If the wild come back from this, it’ll be devistating for the blues.
I’m not worried.
Well played game. You might think doobs had a bad game but I think it was good enough for a win in the playoffs.
Going back 1-1 is good. I’m guessing the wild will come out hot on Monday. This loss will help keep the young guys in check.
The Wild owned the third and litterally came just inches from a different outcome. Feel pretty good moving forward.
Wild were in it. Scandella despite scoring had a bad game…at least the turnovers I remember. Doobs made the one mistake, but the wild were in it through the whole game. It’d be nice to get 2 at home, but I’m a little nervous.
It’s nice they have a guy you can hate in Ott. Makes it more fun.
It’s go time. Game 3 here we go.

Its playoff time.

It sounds crazy loud there Grouse. You have any hearing loss yet?

Not good. Blues probably feel good coming out of the first playoff game at the X tied.
Wild giving Blues few opportunities. Tightly played game on both ends. Electric atmosphere. You could cut the tension with a knife.

The place just blew up with the goal. I thought my ears would burst.
Blues seemed to be coming unglued as the Wild refuse to get rattled by the antics. I get the feeling the Blues are feeling a lot of pressure with this series. It might be getting to them. It’s a little early for me to call the series, much less the game, but that’s how it feels.
Blues totally disorganized and clueless.. no answerforwhat the wild are serving up.

Great game, man they’re a good team!
Pug, Ott is easy to hate!
Grouse, they got the empty netter!
Can’t wait for Wednesday.
What a game. As close to a perfect game as I think I’m likely to see in playoff hockey.
Parise, Granny, Pomminville line was buzzing the whole game. The Blues can’t keep up with any one of them, they are 1 step too slow even in the first period they were chasing this line, not playing they. By the second the cracks sarted to show and then came the goals.
The Wild gave the Blues absolutely nothing in the D zone. No good passes, no good shots, very little clean possession, total wet blanket defense. This is exactly the way to play a one-dimensional team like the Blues. Take away the shooting lanes, keep the puck against the boards, limit chances.
Dubnyk was only seriously challenged 3 times. That’s all the limp Blues could muster.
Of course, Serial Perp and total DB Steve Ott had to get a cheap shot in with 1 minute left. What a cock. He bought himself a misconduct, but of course that’s why the POS did it with 1 minute left.
My ears are still ringing from the roar. After Poms first goal, the place just blew up and it was about a 4 minute sustained jet engine scream. Just terrific, and fantastic to hear “Ott you 5uck. Ott you 5uck…” chanted throughout the game.
Bring on Game 4. There’s going to be a very worried and desperate Blues team playing. The Wild can break them with another win, that’s my prediction.

There’s a section on the Wilds website called “Becoming Wild” Twenty five minute videos covering a players day,
The one on Mike Yeo is fun, he has a pretty nice summer place on an island up in Canada. Nice place to enjoy some beers, fishing and talk hockey. It looks like he could blend right in with members here.
They also show them throughout the year, I think early in the season or maybe even right before it starts, on FSN.
Otts a good dude!
Otts a good dude!
Ya…When he’s on your team otherwise he’s a hack! I’d love to see Stewart or even Coyle go toe-to-toe with him!
The homer in me has started to subside. Cliche time-tonights game is the biggest of the season. I’d hate to go back to their rink tied at two. I can’t stand the thought of losing to these guys. If 50% of the hit crossbars and oh so close plays start going our way they could enjoy a little more breathing room and force the Blues into even more chippy play.
I try not to look ahead but it looks like the Hawks are gonna get the job done.
Go Wild!
Who knows, but if someone asked me I’d say that the Wild win tonight in similar fashion to the last game. The Wild seems to be back on their game that they showed in the second half of the season. Keep frustrating them!
I hate these late starts. My prediction is wild take it tonight 4-2. Looks like blues are changing their lines around a bit hopefully it will not work.
New lines at the morning skate from Ken Hitchcock, reuniting lines and pairs from earlier this season
Steen-Backes-Oshie
Schwartz-Lehtera-Tarasenko
Jaskin-Stastny-Berglund
Porter-Ott-Reaves
I wish the start was 8:30 for me!
If the wild can come out and dominate the first, I think it’s over. That being said, I don’t think they will. But if we have a lead or are tied going into the second….
