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

[mr.hockey4242]

Fuck. Just simply didn't get the bounces today. That no call on scandella was ridiculous.

Still played a very good game but man that hurts.

Pretty remarkable stop there after heading toward the bench.

 

[Cobiemonster]

That was incredible

The score is not a representation of how close this game was which is unfortunate.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Those 2 goals in the first were killers. Unable to get anything going until the 3rd.

 

[GenJac]

Good series so far. Blues gotta step up another notch to win at least 1 of the next two in MN. I still think this could easily be a 7 game series.

Pre-gaming!!! LET'S DO THIS!!!

 

[IndyAndy]

Is it just me, or is there a lot of 'jerking' in the TV camera feed?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

The pressure is pretty good so far but wild gotta get more picks actually on net.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Brought so much pressure and finally broke through!!

What a play by that whole line.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Parise won't be denied!!

 

[GenJac]

Hitchcock is overweight and the Blues are cheap after the whistle the refs need to get control.

Somebody tell Parise he doesn't always have to go 100 miles per hour out of control.

 

[dash]

Parise won't be denied!!

Jaybo was softer than warm butter on that goal.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Blues basically committed to playing scum bag hockey tonight while the wild just laughed at them.

Then Ott takes it to a whole new level.

 

[sherbert1421]

Blues are 3-17 on the road in the playoffs since 2003. Ouch

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Overall that was a great hockey game by the Wild.

I mean I guess you could say 2 non empty net goals isn't awesome but other than that we were incredible!!!

That. Was. Fun. Just like the Saturday game, the score didn't tell the story. Could've easily been 5-0 or even 6. The crowd was nuts. The first 6 minutes or so was tense with not much going either way, but the Wild poured it on from mid 1st on, and the crowd was behind them on every hit and scoring chance.

Yup. By the second period that environment had to be crazy!!!

Like I said above, about the only thing you could nit pick is we didn't burry some good chances. Other then that it was about as good a performance you could expect out of a team in playoffs. Great chances, and gave up hardly anything good.

Obviously the top line with 2 goals was fantastic. But the Vanek, Coyle, Nino line is the one that really got the ice tilted and crowd into it. Great game by those two lines.

Can't let up now though!! Or it means nothing!!

We've definitely gotten in Ott's head...
