RD1 GM3 04/21 @ Minnesota (8:30PM-ish CT) - G(ASS)ED

[Knives Out]

Stars were better on the road this season, which was weird.

All of the pressure is on the Wild tonight in front of their home crowd (of fishermen) after having a touchdown scored on them.

I expect them to be even dirtier aka shittier LOL.

[Knives Out]

Otter comes home, and Tufte's kids can visit their grandparents.

[Troy McClure]

I expect them to be even dirtier aka shittier LOL.

Especially with Evason's bullshit talk about how tough they are and how they aren't divers. Expect them to double down on being physical in front of their own crowd.

This makes me hope DeBoer encourages more diving just to further enrage Evason into worse decisions.

DeBoer rolls 4 lines without matching, effectively negating or at least diluting home ice advantage.

[slaps]

I am confused by the number of Wild fans who expect Oettinger to fold, or wear down over the series. I try not to give younger guys too much credit for a small sample size, but nothing in Oettinger's history at any level indicates he does anything other than get better in situations like this. Did they not watch the series against Calgary last year?

[Troy McClure]

A number of likely lineup changes for the Wild. We'll see how much of a difference you get from adding four hurt dudes.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

yeah depends on how hurt they are i guess

[Troy McClure]

Sounds like the Stars are making no lineup changes.

I wondered if Glendening might get a night off to help him heal considering he missed some time during the game.

[ToddM]

Butthurt

Jake the Snake needs this energy tonight:

[Troy McClure]

8:50 puck drop again

[SaintAngerBH]

The NHL is so *fargin'* dumb...

Where will this game be if overtime happens tonight? ESPNU again?

[SaintAngerBH]

Welp Never mind haha

[SaintAngerBH]

Definitely never mind now.

[dyhp]

Well..time to start drinking.

[dyhp]

Jesus. Save some for next game NYI

[SaintAngerBH]

I hate Minnesota and their fans. The same whiny morons who bitched that the Stars left when only 100 people showed up to the game on a given night....

[Alyosha0999]

Miro had
4 pts last game...he's got to be the difference.

[Alyosha0999]

Any word on Joe? is he out for this series?

[SaintAngerBH]

Apparently, they don't like Suter.

[dyhp]

Ek already to locker room...did I hear that correctly?

[Troy McClure]

Are they booing Dadonov?

Oh, Suter. Hahaha

[Troy McClure]

Excellent dive.

[Knives Out]

IT'S A CONSIPRACY AGAINST THE WILD!

[Knives Out]

Eriksson Ek has already gone back to the dressing room LOL.

[Troy McClure]

Eriksson Ek has already gone back to the dressing room LOL.

I respect guys trying to play through pain, but if you can’t even make it through the anthem, you’re hurting your team by trying.

Good lol.

[SaintAngerBH]

[Troy McClure]

Foligno with a nice dive. I thought they didn’t do that?
