Nice coming out party for Mikael Granlund in this year's playoffs, the kid looks like he's going to be a fine player in this league.

He's going to be a stud - he's found his game this season - very smart player - their kids in general have taken a step up so far in the playoffs - him, Nino, Charlie Coyle, Jared Spurgeon, Darcy Kuemper and Erik Haula have played well this season - with those big contracts, they need the younger players to make the next step

Justin Fontaine! 1-0 Wild!

 

[SLY]

Holy shit. Nice goal up top.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Power play for the Wild

I love the future of the team. Great balance between proven veterans and young studs all improving.

Hoping they can still make a run and add Vanek.

Also our first goal not scored in 3rd period this whole series!!!

 

[Cobiemonster]

Blackhawks tie it here late in the first period - 1-1

And the bad bryzgolov is back.

As I am watching this game, I realise that I am mainly just rooting for Matt Cooke to get hurt

You are not alone.

Getting nervous now. We had them playing our game and that soft one ruined momentum.

Against a team like Chicago you can't give up soft goals. They are explosive enough as is.

Wow what a shit goal to let in there, Crawford

 

[Cobiemonster]

Wild take the lead! 2-1!

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Pommer!!!

Hopefully a fluke goal gets him going!!!

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Eloco? Darkstone? What's the score?

Obligatory:

It sucks because I like everything else about the Wild. Even Bryz.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Everyone may hate Cooke but he is playing fantastic tonight.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Blackhawks tie it up at 2-2
