haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted April 4, 2011 God I wish we were playing the Wild in the playoffs. I'd love that as well. You know Nucks fans would be s***ting their pants over having to play Chicago for a 3rd straight year. Also, I'd love to see San Jose play their playoff killers, the Anaheim Ducks. Then, Nashville and Phoenix, (the two insignificant teams with s***ty fanbases), could play each other. That leaves us with LA. That's the only part I don't like about that scenario, because LA is my second favorite team. Though honestly they'd be a preferable matchup against Detroit. Not particularly fast, missing their top two scorers, and not a lot of playoff experience or veteran leadership. They play a physical game, but often only in response to the opposition. If the Wings didn't come out hammering guys, the Kings often don't generate it on their own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I'm a Wild fan, I'm pretty pissed off that never goes to replay. There was no conclusive replay the Detroit feed could use to show the puck crossed the line. Yeah I wasn't sure that one was in either... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted April 4, 2011 It's hard to get up to play Minnesota because it's always so boring, so it's a hard game to judge, but they looked good out there. Kindl was really playing his ass off, which is a good sign. Here's to a great finish to the season and a stellar playoff run! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted April 4, 2011 Howard with yet another outstanding game. Robbed on the first goal. I'd love to see Flip and Helm the same line, mainly because Homer is a detriment when he is not on the PP. Hopefully this gets Franzen going. Zata looked awesome, as did Abby. Kindl/Big E > Salei. But we all know vets > youngins in the playoffs. Next game is going to suck, I've heard all around that the NHL is doing their damndest to get the 'Canes into the playoffs.

Datsyerberger 279 Report post Posted April 4, 2011 Regarding the Franzen goal, if that went to replay, it still would have counted, as there's no conclusive evidence that the puck didn't cross the line. When reviewing a goal that's ruled on ice as a good goal, there has to be conclusive evidence that the puck never went in, not evidence that the puck was indeed in (that's the evidence needed if it's called no goal on the ice). My guess is that with the angle the official had, he was able to spot the puck between Theodore's legs. Either that, or he was making an assumption, which would explain the no goals against us as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted April 4, 2011 Good W. Glad we didn't take our foot off the gas and have that "letdown" type game and especially at home. Helm keeps impressing and the Bert-Abby-Mule line is a playoff style line if I've ever seen. We aren't too far away, boys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted April 4, 2011 You must be drunk. Big E is not better than anyone on this team. Ericsson logged more icetime last night than any other defenseman. He played over 21 minutes and had a really solid game. Honestly one of the best he's had this season probably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
