Going into the third period...
Calling it: next goal wins this series.

You better be wrong.Going into the third period...

Kevin Fiala is costing himself millions of dollars in this no show of a playoff series. It’s all fun and games until the playoffs start.Only one player showed up in a very critical game. Disappointing but not surprising.
Talbot should have started Game 2 to get him into the mix. I'm guessing now they'll just see it through with Fleury.If Fleury starts game 6, I’m gonna be pissed. Terrible/awesome spot Talbot will be in. Please, Mr. Everson. It’s time for it.
Defensemen are just woefully lacking, IMO. Spurgeon is not a big guy and doesn't have a ton of presence in the D-zone, Dumba just plain does a lot of stupid shit. Lots of puck-watching last night all around.Talbot should have started Game 2 to get him into the mix. I'm guessing now they'll just see it through with Fleury.
Dean doesn’t like changing lines let alone taking out a goalie. I agree with Iowa Talbot should have started game 2, but that ship has sailed. I don’t see any way he starts game 6 now.If Fleury starts game 6, I’m gonna be pissed. Terrible/awesome spot Talbot will be in. Please, Mr. Everson. It’s time for it.
You're right. Definitely not all Fleury's fault. Just think making a change can sometimes give a team a boost.Defensemen are just woefully lacking, IMO.

After leading 2-0 in game 7.actually, the most "Minnesota" thing possible would be this:
Wild wins game 6, setting up a 7th game back in MN. and they drop the 7th game, losing their 3rd home game of the series.
That would be the most "Minnesota" thing possible.
I don't really think that will happen, but if it did, Twitter might explode.
Holy cow. That is me to a T. Except for the hair part at the end.
The best part is after this series is over you can do it all again when the twins are swept by the Yankees again in the wild card round. It is just a repetitive circle of shit.Holy cow. That is me to a T. Except for the hair part at the end.
You are preaching to the choir brother. I wonder if they do actually make it to the Layoffs (That's the Twins version of it).The best part is after this series is over you can do it all again when the twins are swept by the Yankees again in the wild card round.

Not to mention...If we prevail, we get a fresh Colorado Avalanche with lots of rest. Since they swept their opponent.Seven games series…all of em? Sheesh
I am fine with the format, I like the greater chance of playing a Division Rival in the first 2 rounds. You want to play a lesser team, then win the Division.In some cases this is why i think the NHL playoff format is kind of a joke. Both MN and St. Louis have two of the best regular season records in the league and they have to play each other in the first round of the playoffs. Good way to reward teams for a great job on the previous 84.
Excellent. Hope he can shake off the rust quickly. If he wins, he will, of course, play game 7. Then, if they can get by that, now we have an actual 2 goalie rotation we could use. One step at a time. Skaters need to play better and I hope they insert Bjugstad on the 4th line too - that's overdue as well.Cam Talbot between the pipes tonight, per The Athletic.
