Hawks in 5, not too confident in Keumper, though he looked good taking over for Bryz.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I think the Wild will put up a good fight. Going to be tough to actually win this series but they will make the Hawks work.

Dizzy Bryzy confirmed to start in net tonight for Minny.

Can Sharp wake up for the Hawks?

 

[postmaster]

Refs lose sight of puck and cost a goal once again.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Hawks lead 1-0 after one period

 

[postmaster]

Hawks lead 1*-0 after one period

I really hate the "intent" to blow the whistle call.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Intent to blow.


That's what she said?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

And this is shaping up like last year.

Wild can't convert PP opportunities and the hawks do.

 

[esls79]

Wild have dominated this period with nothing to show for it. Doesn't bode well for them.

 

[I_Shall_Return]

C'mon Wild, I'm not even a fan but just hate hearing that gay tune after every Hawk score!

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Minny needs to get a goal so I can ask eloco what the score is.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Wild definitely needed that goal

 

[Cobiemonster]

Wow Dany Heatley actually made a good play there leading up to the tying goal!

 

[Cobiemonster]

And then typical Bryz gives up a soft fucking goal - that's a terrible angle

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Kane is too fucking good.
