LittleHurt05 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 13, 2014 -> 10:45 PM) So Hawks win this on some BS goal in OT, right? Get outplayed, 100% deserve to lose, goalie saves your ass, some fluke ass s*** wins it. If I'm a Wild fan, that's all I can think about right now. #littlehurtcoffeetime So yeah, I made the mistake of watching the 3rd period on in bed and may have missed the Kaner goal. #lifeishardat31 Nice prediction though! Bring on a Southern Cal team and more post 8:00 puck drops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 14, 2014 -> 05:22 AM) If I still gave a s***, today Flapship would have some article about when it actually makes sense to chant the opposing goaltenders' names. When they are dominating the f*** out of your team is not the time to chant their names. You'd think fans in Minnesota would be less dumb. Then again, they do live in Minnesota, which is dumb. Bring on the next round and an opponent against which we can play real hockey, not this bulls*** slappy trappy garbage hockey. For "The State of Hockey" they are pretty stupid at times. I spent 30 min arguing with a client when he told me the reason the series was so close is because the teams play the exact same style of hockey.

Those fans are obsessed with themselves and still think the 92 playoffs or whenever the "Belfour" thing happened and wanted to recreate it. I'm sure MN was just picking up on that. I blame pretty much everything bad in sports on STL fans though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, correct. But Q's lineup decisions, as well as watching the game, pointed to the Hawks trying to play the Wild's style of game in game 3 for sure, and a lot of 4. The speed game? The puck possession game? It didn't exist. Obviously, it didn't work and didn't make any sense. But, I'm sure the client wasn't smart enough to bring up that in his argument, because besides those games, yeah, they are different styles.

A yahoo article said he should be back any day now, and I thought how in the hell would they know. I think 75% he's out for playoffs 20% he's back for game 3-4 this series, 5% his leg was amputated out for career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gut feeling says no, it's a fairly significant injury we'll learn about after the season, but for now they'll just keep saying day to day because maybe there's a small chance he can dress at some point, especially if they are playing 3 or 4 weeks from now. Unless I missed something, I haven't seen where he's been skating at all. Maybe really late this series or praying to have him ready enough to play in the SCF if they get there?

Figuring out who to dress for the last 4ish forwards has been a disaster, especially when they can't be trusted to eat up minutes. Going against the LA Kings for the Anaheim Ducks of LA, you can't really get away with playing 2.5 lines for a a lot of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
