2008 NHL Playoffs! Round 1: Avalanche vs. Wild

[fisherjmb]

That second article from 2003 by Mark Kiszla states how the Avs could never lose to the lowly Wild. How did that series end up again, oh yeah that's right we came back from a 3-1 defecit by winning 3 straight games, the last one in their building in OT. Yeah suck on that Kiszla! What a douche!

whats everyones thoughts on our "D" play so far this series?? I think everyone of our D-Men have played excellent, even Skoula (so far) I have been real impressed with their composure in our own end.

[PierBridge]

I'm a little concerned about 46 shots on goal in a playoff game.

[walleyes12]

when the other team has 8 powerplays the shots are going to come!

Sounds like Kiszla was a young lad back when Gretzky was racking up 200 points a season and checking was frowned upon. How do you beat skill players? You beat them with the body and make them pay in the corner. The Avalanche looked really tired in the OT especially with them only going with 2 lines in OT. I haven't even heard Paul Stastny name in the series yet. Forsberg has yet to play in the 2nd game of a back to back. I'm sure he will play tonight but we will see how he looks. Throw out the big 4 (Voros, Boogaard, Simon, and Fedoruk) again tonight and lay the wood to them and finish every check.

Why all the late games? A west coast TV thing? My elementary age kids would love to watch the games. They were suppose to go to bed early last night, for MCA testing today.

[Scott K]

Because we are small market teams! We get the late game times! Kinda sucks not to be an east coast team.

[solbes]

Late night sinks. I'm in Miami all week on business and can't watch any of the three games this week. Of course I'd rather have it all buttoned up by the time I get home!

[Fishing_High]

Yea I was real tired at work today but I am not missing any of these games. Well we know its going to OT tonight just like every other game so I'm looking at another 4 hours or sleep tonight o well. Is it 9pm YET????? So pumped Go WILD.

[walleyes12]

I think the Wild will take it in Regualtion, I think the wild will get 4 goals tonight and the avs will only muster up 2 goals with their old tired legs. I hope the wild really come out physcial!

[Hooliganz]

So the Wild game is only available on satellite tonight? Guess I will have to go to the bar

So true-- Being a big Wild fan in Iowa is really tough. Only way I get any live info is via CCO'. NBC for the last 3-4 years has put hockey on the wk-ends--- never have I seen the Wild. All New YOrk-- and when they suck all Sidney Crosby and all EAST teams. LAst week was DET-NASH,,, why becasue it's the so called Hockeytown. Well, I got news for NBC, HOCKEYLAND is MINNESOTA and they may just have to show a game or two if MN advances past the the 1st round.

Love to see Nash beat DET. And if Cal beat SJ, we are the highest seed left in the WC.

Go Wild!!!!

NBC is so biased with hockey it makes ESPN with the Yanks and SOX look like UHF.

[Hooliganz]

ok, thats good, I got some bad info from a co-worker then.

Can celebrate at home then...

Go Wild..I think they will win in regulation tonight also.

[Fishing_High]

Wild win tonight they put a strangle hold on the series with it coming the X for game 5. I don't see it being very high scoring both goalies are playing great and we don't score for the first two periods we just out play them. I think wild will win 3-1 with a empty netter.

[germanshorthairs]

My guess-4-2 Wild. Physical play will open the ice up for the wild. If they get called for 8 penalties tonight I hope that they are worth it(Physical Play). Last nights calls were pretty weak in my opinion. Go Wild!!!!

[jwhjr]

Not looking too promising so far... Still time to turn it around I guess.

[walleyes12]

yuck! Did the defense even show up? Whats going on

[mr_jman]

tired legs? time to pull it together and maybe get a goal or two in the SECOND period!

[bassNspear]

its a ugly game right now, and i hope they can turn it around.

[cjac]

No bueno for sure......

Hill got deked out of his jock on Heduk's wrister....

[Jim Bob]

4 zip and Booger is in the box.

Go Avs!

[bassNspear]

it is what it is. See what happens at the end of series.
