STATE OF HOCKEY - Thread for Wild fans (league, NHL, team)

[Govie]

The series was meant to go 7. It is playing out as intended.

Congratulations to the Wild from a Blues fan. I knew going into this series, that the Wild were going to be a dangerous team. It proved that way. The Hawks will have their hands full.

Time to get payback on the Hawks.

I'm glad the Wild learned to finally WIN a series in less than 7 games!

But for the Hawks series (the third time in three years), I see it going to 7 games! It's just that tight between the two teams!

Wild have too many guys who don't shine under the bright lights. Sure they can play scrappy underdogs, but the Hawks came in respecting them this time and have been mopping the ice with them, except for 1 period.

So why is Koivu the captain? He gets points in January? Stop drafting Eurotrash.

[Govie]

eurotrash? Some of our recent drafts have been zucker and coyle.

[Oildog]

Lots of high paid Wild standing and waiting for the puck tonight.

Some of the younger guys have potential...Vanek is done and did we get fleeced in the Pominville deal.

[Govie]

Dubnyk crashed and burned. He let in some of the worst goals all season in this series. What a crappy way to go out.

Coyle was obtained by trade for Setoguchi. That draft year, We picked Granlund and some swede kid Larsson, who was traded for Pominville.

Will give you zucker nut that was 2011.

Wild reach two-way deal with prized Finnish prospect Michael Keranen - TwinCities.com

Great another 25 year old Finnish guy...who probably wont go into the defensive zone further than the faceoff circles and who like to cycle on offense.
