Doesn't take much to shut down a rusty Kaprizov and Boldy. We have 1 line and 4 d-men. The Bettman Knights have 4 solid lines. Should be a very quick series.

I hope Rossi doesn't get healthy scratched again tonight.  We need a contribution from him to have a chance to get over on the Knights.  Depth scoring baby.

You mean the 2 goal scoring Boldy and the 2 assist Kap from game 1? Little puck luck one way and a few calls being made that should have been made, game 1 may have been different. The stuck with them on the physicality, had some great chances that didn't bounce their way, gus looked sharp, even on the first goal by vegas, while maybe a bit deep, it took an absolute perfect shot to get that to go in. Perhaps I have my green and wheat glasses on but I don't think this looks like a very quick or easier series.

I really hope something good happens for the Wild.

He got 12 minutes. WTF is that all about? I' am more pissed at Hinsey than Rossi.

In other News Yurov's contract terminated by Metallurg.

It appears that Hinzy is seeing what we're seeing and pulling in the reigns on Rossi.  Doesn't trust him too much.  This started with Hynzy a couple weeks ago.

I see a lot of posts saying Rossi isn't one of BG's guys and I believe that's true, but something I heard a couple weeks ago was new for me, is that Rossi and Hinesy don't get along either.

Speaking of depth(in this case prospect depth), Ryder Ritchie's Medicine Hat team took out their opponent in 4 games, so they've been waiting patiently for their upcoming opponent since Thursday. The other three series in the quarterfinals might all go to 7 games. Two are already moving to game 7 while the 3rd is playing game 6 tonight to determine if a game 7 is necessary.

In 9 playoff games, Ritchie has accumulated 6 goals and 5 assists.

His teammate, and likely #1 overall in the 2026 draft, Gavin McKenna(age 17), has 6 goals and 16 assists through those 9 games. Ritchie is 3rd in scoring behind McKenna and 21-year-old, Oasiz Weisblatt, their 5'9" 1st line center.

Medicine Hat should open their semifinal series within a few days, I imagine. Friday or Saturday seem fairly likely given that Wednesday is the last game of the quarterfinal matchups, even if they all extend to 7 games.

It took them two periods to wear down the Wild. It's already over.

Rossi and Hartman swap.  Little Marco now centering 4th line.  Doh!

We hardly knew ya kid.
