All Things Minnesota Wild 2022-2023 In-Season Thread

[Donovan]

Well, Minnesota sports misery marches on. I guess the Twins are next in line.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Is it over? Can I turn on kfan after 7 P.M. and not hear grown men playing a kids game? Whew! Finally.

Damn. Hard as it might be to be a wild fan right now imagine what it's like to be a bruins fan. All-time record for wins and out they go.

Florida beats Boston in OT in game 7 to win the first-round series. So it IS legal for an underdog to beat a favorite! I knew it!

I don’t feel bad for Boston fans at all.

100%!!! That was awesome, plain and simple. I'd laugh my ass off if the Kraken knocked off Colorado later tonight.

I don’t ever want this wild team to say they have Grit First after watching what these other teams are doing in the playoffs. The wild folded like a cheap suit as soon as anything went against them. They have no-showed in two straight series after going up 2-1 in both series.

Gotta be therapeutic for Panthers' fans, though. Since they got the President Trophy last year and then choked in the 2nd round. Good for them.

And then Kraken win their first-ever series against the defending champs. Our team is so frustrating.

Road teams are 31-18 so far in the NHL postseason.

How frustrating that the team ran to the conference final in their third season and haven't sniffed anything close to that since. I remember the GM saying right after that run that it was too much too soon and they needed to get younger. Well, mission accomplished, Doug.

I generally don't watch much non-Wild NHL action (unless I am parked in a Vegas sportsbook) but both Game 7s were highly entertaining. Great theater.

I also really like the TBS coverage. They are putting as much into the production as they do for NBA, MLB and NCAA Tourney. Good stuff.

Me, too! I couldn't take my eyes off both of those games.

I wandered for a bit to watch Barry (the HBO TV show not Melrose the ESPN talking hairdo), but caught back up on puck via DVR.

Florida squandering a 2 goal lead, trail late only to score 6 on 5 then win in OT at the New Garden was fantastic.

No wonder he couldn’t play and boy did the Wild miss him
