Imyourhuckleberry Verified Member Posted Wednesday at 07:41 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:41 PM Regarding tonight's game with the Sharks-- “We’re hopeful they’re going to play,” Wild coach John Hynes said after the morning skate. “They got one more skate here, and meet with the trainers and finalize it, and I’ll know for sure then. But we’re hopeful that they’re going to play.” -- NHL.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imyourhuckleberry Verified Member Posted Thursday at 05:05 AM Share Posted Thursday at 05:05 AM Edmonton with a late goal to win in regulation. St. Louis is now 8th in the Western Conference and just 2 games remaining. If Wild win 2 of their last 3 games, they lock up the 1st wildcard regardless of what the other teams do. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I'd rather have Winnipeg in round 1 to play spoiler and build confidence. If Rossi and Neck Beard play outta they're minds there is a chance. After seeing Flurey get lit up last night I'd rather have Wallstead backing up Gussy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're all kind of looking forward to next season with Wallstedt. As far as which team, I'd still rather try beating Adin Hill rather than Hellabuyck. For goalies with at least 12 starts this season, Hellabuyck is 1st in save%(.924). Winnipeg leads the league in fewest goals allowed and are 4th in goals scored. For goalies with at least 12 starts this season, Adin Hill is 21st in save%(.906). Vegas is still strong on D with the 5th fewest goals allowed and they have the 6th most goals scored. There's no easy 1st round opponent, but I'd still rather try my luck with Vegas rather than Winnipeg. Gus(.915) is currently 6th in save% for goalies with at least 12 starts. Adin Hill is at .915 even strength, but .850 when facing a power play. Since adding Nyquist, the Wild are 7th in PP% and 9th in PK%. The Jets are #1 on PP for the season and Vegas #2, so it's a good thing the Wild PK has been performing better as of late, and taking fewer penalties this season. Not taking penalties would be the best strategy. Vegas has the least PK TOI in the league while Winnipeg and the Wild are also bottom 10, so opportunities on the PP might be scarce regardless of who the Wild face in round 1. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Nels Verified Member Posted Thursday at 01:20 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:20 PM Really hope Mids will be back for the playoffs (assuming there isn't a collapse of epic proportions)! Chisholm isn't going to cut it in the playoffs, kid has glimpses of being dynamic but he is a turnover machine and a liability in the d-zone. I thought Bogo had one of his worst games of the year last night too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted Thursday at 05:42 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:42 PM I liked the lines that Heinzy put together for last night. Each one offers something a little different. Subbing in Boldy for Greenway makes that line even more beastly and offensively skilled. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone finally learns how to get a fire going in that guy, watch out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
