Series Thread: Stanley Cup Playoffs Round 1 - Blues vs. Wild

[mr.hockey4242]

Big first game win!!!

 

[GenJac]

This is definitely not an upset win. Remember, the Wild have been the best team in the league since January, and if it wasn't for their poor goaltending and slow start in the first half of the season, they would have easily finished with the best record in the West. Add that to the fact that they've been a beast on the road lately, with wins against very good teams.

I do suspect that the Blues will regroup and probably get revenge on Saturday. I suspect this series will go 6 or 7 games.

Hopefully I'll get to watch tomorrow's game.

At least the Blues won't be able to blow another 2-0 series lead

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Hopefully Minnesota can come out and dictate pace in the early goings again and frustrate the Blues with their defense and blocking shots. If they can manage to do that and get another win, it might be the end of the series.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Oh yeah.... 2 hours to puck drop!!!

GO WILD!

Blues in th playoffs? Time to win some vcash

 

[IndyAndy]

WTF???!!!

They've got Detroit/Tampa on NBC & NBCSN in my area! - No Minny/St Louis for me.

*****

Never mind; now they've got it sorted.

 

[Nosferatu]

Gonna be a good one today... Getting two on the road would be awesome!

 

[TheRobotDevil]

Big first game win!!!

hoping Z Par has a break out game

 

[IndyAndy]

2-0 Blues after the 1st.

Not off to a good start.

 

[GenJac]

Blues will win this game 4-2 and the series will be tied 1-1. If the Blues go down 0-2 and lose the series to the Wild, Ken Hitchock will be fired at the end of the playoffs.

 

[IndyAndy]

Scandella!!

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

About time they start playing.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Coyle... so fucking close.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Should have been a penalty on that Scandella attempt.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Are they going to call anything against the Blues?

 

[IndyAndy]

Are they going to call anything against the Blues?

Doesn't appear that way.

 

[IndyAndy]

...And that's the dagger to the heart: This one is over.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Bad giveaway, bad goaltending led to that one. He had a clear look at the puck, should have had that one.
