Article: Game 6 Gamethread: Wild vs. Stars (8:30 p.m.)


Fuck. Wild performed beyond expectations given the situation this season. That being said, given the performance/roster that was assembled, they should have showed better in the playoffs. Fire the whole coaching staff. I'm tired of Dean-O and his team. See everyone next year.

And there's three straight losses to end the season for the second straight year--this time at home. 

Does Deano get a third chance to find assistant coach(es) to manage the special teams, or is it time for new coaches here just like Iowa?

Well the Wild's off-season moves and GMBG quotes will be easier to handle emotionally.

I still think Rossi, Addison should be traded but now add Foligno.

Damn, Tuch would've been a great player to have in MN. I said it then, how Tuch would've been a younger, more impactful version of Foligno for less money at that time. Sadly the Wild's toughness and hitting just didn't do jack to help the team win. The Wild need an identity and they can't just say it. They really have to do it and prove it. I had a bad feeling down the stretch when they lost every game against good teams including an L to the Flyers I think. Couldn't beat Vegas, Pittsburgh, WPG, and almost lost to Chicago and Nashville.

We know Ek is important but again I think GMBG set the Wild up with the depth they needed. The Wild just sucked most of the last month. Almost like they knew there was gonna be pressure and they choked on the way to the final choke. I don't wanna see anymore stupid marketying videos. I thought it was all about fuckin winning Billy!

At least we aren’t the Leafs!
 

We'll see tomorrow night. If they advance, it makes the Wild officially the biggest chokers of the first round in the past 6-8 years at least. With  numerous GMs, Coaches, and Players. State of Hockey, and marketing is pure propaganda.

I mean I hope the Leafs lose cause those fans will be more pissed and a collapse for them would be a degree or two larger than the Wild's choke which we all sorta saw coming in the deja-vu department.

I think right now Toronto fans have a decent hope to get the first round monkey off their back. Nylander comments I heard recently weren't proclaiming great grit and character. I heard him say something about effin winning Billy!

Boldy - 11 playoff games. 4 pts. 1 goal. -3.

Can only go up from here.

Kaprizov. Gonna need some help.

A healthy Ek would have helped but too little too late.

Evason has been fine for the regular season but I think the Wild are gonna need a lot more changes. They've looked for consistency and from within to improve under cap constraints but the plan isn't working. This year was a better path and last year everyone cried that the Wild had to face a tough STL team. MN sports baby! In the running for top worst...

The Leafs haven’t won a playoff series since 2004. They have lost 7 straight opening rounds and missed the playoffs 10 years since 2004. 

Just sayin they're closer than the MN right now to wiping that off the history books and leaving the Wild in the biggest loser placeholder position for playoff choke-artists.
