Let's go Wild!! - Page 3

PlayaGroom · 04-11-2008

Game 2 tonight, 8:00 pm Central.

I'm expecting something a little rougher than Game 1 (which is hard to say, because it was pretty constant on Wednesday!). We gotta wear their top lines down with even more physical play so we can last through the end of the game better than last time. Our blue line is thin, so our forwards have got to step up in the corners a lot more. I expect Simon's return to the line-up will help the physicality some. Let's just hope everyone keeps their heads on straight and stays outta the box.

Prediction: Wild 4 / Avs 2 to tie up the series while heading to CO over the weekend.

Is anyone else as tired as I am from jumping off the couch around midnight last night? Holy crap what an OT period!!

Bumble · 04-15-2008

I agree! That OT period was some of the best hockey I've seen in a while. I tried to watch in bed so I could drift off to sleep for an early morning but it was impossible with all those scoring chances for the Wild! They really deserved that win after dominating the entire OT!!!

Now again tonight!!! GO WILD!!!!!!!!!

Minnesota Wild dominated in overtime for both of those playoff games... it's amazing they came away with a loss on the first one. For me, it was absolutely impossible to watch sitting down!!

Looking forward to another great game tonight. Think a trip to Eagle Street Grill or McGovern's is in order...

Great series, great hockey. Playoff hockey is unbelievable. How these athletes can turn it up another notch from the regular season is utterly amazing.

Well, back to the waiting game until next year. The better team definitely won the series. The Avs experience just plain ate away at us.

Exciting hockey indeed though. It's so hard to watch the regular season anymore knowing that this level hockey is possible.

I agree, the Avs just outplayed us. And their goalie is amazing. Still, I was sad to see it end for us. Next year!

At least my daugther's hockey season goes on for a few more weeks ...

Good time at the AAC last night. Everyone stayed right at their seat to watch the hand shake. I was surprised to read a hand shake with the Stars winning has never occurred in Dallas.

Not in the AAC, at least.

Fixed with an updated photo.

I was happy to see the Stars old grinder, Guy Caboneau, take the Habs to the next round last night.
