Series Thread: Opening Round - Wild vs. Blues

[Gopherfan84]

you'd think having 117 shots on goal would produce more than 4 god damn goals. Allen is looking like the best damn goalie in the league right now

Unfortunately we have a history of that in the playoffs. Jean-Sebastien Giguere bring back any memories?

Parise on playoff format: I liked the old way - Article - TSN

“It’s going to sound like I’m complaining now, but I do like the old way better, because one division could have a lot more points than the other division,” Parise told the Pioneer Press.

The Wild finished second in the Western Conference and, under the format, would have played the Calgary Flames in the first round.

Did the media just conveniently forget that division winners were seeded under the old format?

This feels like a setup for the yearly Blues playoff let down. If I followed hockey more, I'd probably be nervous

Jake Allen is lucky that Brian Elliott had those horrendous red pads for half the year.

Because that means the monstrosities he is currently wearing are not the ugliest things used this year.

lol - The irony is that the Blues jersey is one of the best in the league (in my opinion), but I agree my friend, those pads needs to be doused in gasoline and set ablaze.

They didn't look too bad when he wore them with the WC uniforms.

Shame the wild took 10 minutes to realize there was a game going on. Back to total domination and no ability to score.

Parise and his choke jobs are annoying as fuck

[mr.hockey4242]

This team is just fucking wants to lose

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I'd like to say it was a good season, but it wasn't.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Lol. Cross check to the back.

Fucking horseshit.

Soft ass league.

Nope. Sorry. Still awful.

Where has this team been?

for real! The Wild are tearing it up right now.

 

[forty_three]

Holy crap! If Steen is a righty, this game ends with 1 second to go.

 

[podsox]

Absolutely pathetic defense on the series winner

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Same fucking shit as game 1.

Dominate OT.

Give them 1 chance on shit D and they win

I feel that pain. Not necessarily OT, but I feel the pain. Sorry Mr Hockey.

Hope our teams are battling for years to come, though.

Former Oiler beats former Oiler for series winner.

Good news regarding Eric Staal - He's stiff and sore obviously, but resting at home after being released from hospital.
