Title: How 'bout them Wild?
Post by: Libertas on December 28, 2016, 07:44:22 AM
11 game win streak after last nights OT victory over Nashville...1 little point behind the mighty Blackhawks...a goal differential of +37 being tops in the West and only behind Columbus league wide.

I have to say, the lads aren't hard to watch like they have been in past years.

Winter might not suck so bad this year.   :D

Man, congrats to the Wild. I didn't think they would be as strong this year. My Preds were supposed to be loaded and we are playing like a team with no identity, with too many injuries to count. If Josi misses much time ( go watch the very late hit against Boston), our once promising defense will be filled with rookies.

Beating the Blackhawks on their own ice rallying from down 2 is about a sweet as it gets.  Their 46 goal differential ties Columbus for the league lead...it's been quite a while a local club has had a run like this...best thing to do is just enjoy it.

Was that the Blidh hit?

Yeah, basically a knock out punch.  And when you're scrapping for points for a playoff spot being undermanned on D this time of year can be fatal.

Well.....what can I say.....My Preds have put it together and are playing the best hockey i've ever seen them play. It was sweet sweeping the mighty blackhawks.....If we can get by the Blues Tuesday, will be up 3-1.

My respite from the insanity of America.

Yeah.  Top two seeds in the trash can.  Whatever, I was happy to see St Louis end the suffering...delaying that series any more would have been cruel and unusual treatment.  Who would have thought the Twins would step up and play better and get that crap taste out of the mouth?  I know I didn't see it coming.  Sure, in classic Minnesota style they'll fade in the stretch or something...but then the next bread & circus act will arrive...

At this point having a cold one and watching it all slide down the tubes is about all you can do...

Yup, they seemed to be on a roll...and kept rolling...top seeds mean nuthin'...ya gotta be hot at the right time and they are.  I'm not sure the Pens/Sens winner matters...but I reckon we'll find out.  Enjoy the final.

As for "nothing else"...I can't believe you gave up fishing!   ::speechless::
