This might be the best comment I've read since the loss on Sunday. Way too many people talking about lack of heart, disinterest, captaincy issues, coaching issues, gm issues.... to me that's just a bunch of baloney. It really is a terrible match-up for us along with being up against a hot goalie. I hope tonight goes well for us. I don't want it to be the end of Wild hockey this year.
I mostly agree, dubnyk hasn't been the problem but he hasn't been the solution either. How our forwards haven't figured out Yeos system after playing it for 4 years beats me. But why can the Blues rely on Allen to steal games but we can't do the same with Dubnyk? He doesn't step up in the playoffs when we need him to the most. The season's on the line tomorrow and my intuition tells me we'll need at least 4 goals to win.
Its definitely not all on Dubnyk, but at least the 1st goals in each of the last 2 games should have been saved
Just to confirm the start time again since FSN apparently had it wrong last night.
Pierre had it right though, didn't he?
I believe so, but regardless, there it is right from the horse's mouth. 2pm CDT / 3pm EDT
Miss the first game in this series and of course tonight we win.
I should probably miss the remaining 4 games as well.
I'm not against the hit - Parise wasn't injured. To me, this is what playoff hockey's about. It's nice to see some emotion and intensity.
Boudreau is still Boudreau.
I don't understand what that has to do with it, if Parise had gotten a concussion would you be against it?
I was not a fan of it. It was clearly out of frustration, the only goal there was just to hit him as hard as he could. To me, that's less "emotion and intensity" and more just being a jerk.
Would not be a fan of it if someone like Stewart on our team did that to the opposition.
Take your shots during the game, hard hits and what-not, fine. But when it becomes clear that it's not a hockey play in the least, I don't like it.
