Everything in control till it’s time for the refs to play too.

Two of the softest, most random calls I've ever seen in an elimination game.  

Game 6, and those are the things you're calling?!?

I knew Faber and Hughes would give one up after the way the announcers were building them up.

Turning into a bit of an unstructured track meet and I don’t think that benefits the Wild.

Wild: 0/3 on the pp

Dallas: 1/2 on the pp

Im still expecting a phantom penalty called on the Wild with the Wild up 3-2 in the last 8 minutes.

Wild were lucky during that last extended shift by Dallas in the zone. Lucky that Dallas can't score 5x5.

the entire sequence was made 1000x worse by that atrocious non-call when Hughes got dragged down skating it up the ice. un friggin believable

Was extended because Hughes was tripped with the puck on his stick

Wait until you hear all the Dallas whining about the high stick Boldy got away with on Robertson right before the empty netter.

Fitting that Benn has the turnover to end the series

Because they don't want to jeopardize Dallas' chances of a comeback of they absolutely don't have to, of course. 

That lack of a call is pretty typical of the whole series.  Wild player gets mugged, nothing.  Stars player trips over the blue line, they get a PP.

There is nothing worse in "hockey sense" than the theory that you can't risk icing the puck shooting at an empty net

Not getting the cart ahead of the horse, but… TJ Oshie said of the Wild can get past Dallas and beat the Avs. He thinks they’ll be a heavy favorite to win the Cup.

Great hustle by Heiskanen on the 50/50 puck right in front of him that Boldy put in the empty net.

I’m still chuckling bc that was some beer league shit lol. actually, my beer league team would rip me a new one for that.

Agreed. I think the same now as when it was announced.

I'd have to look back, because I don't remember much of anyone saying it was a bad trade (I know I certainly thought it was a great move)

Karma's a bitch...time for Benn to head off to the glue factory. 

KK was almost tackled on his empty net attempt and then Boldy was hooked from behind. I'm no longer surprised by the double secret playoff rulebook, but those two non calls were embarrassing for the sport.

I didn't hate the trade but I regretted giving up Buium who has a high ceiling.  Billy felt the team was ready to make a run now, so he went all in. One series in, he's right so far...now all they need ro do is beat the best team in the NHL next.

Wild play a structure game with some top skill so they do have a chance.

Team dodged a bullet tonight with Ek. I suspect he went in for an xray.

Eh… best case scenario is that Buium eventually becomes 2/3rds the defenseman that Quinn Hughes is currently. If I remember correctly he’s also struggled in Vancouver since then, but that’s to be expected with how the Canucks are doing.

now all they need to do is beat the best team in the NHL next.

I was shocked at how poor Colorado’s PP numbers are. 17.1% in the regular season, 27th-best in the NHL. So either the Wild get wrecked 5v5 now, or they grind out 4 narrow Ws by the skin of their teeth and some timely PP goals.

It’s a great trade if they actually do something and/or he stays. If the end result is beating Dallas and that’s it, I don’t think it’s anything for Billy to be thumping his chest about. 

think this team feels the same and is looking to bigger results than winning a 1st round series even if that’s a monkey off the franchises back

 

love watching Hughes and he is the best player on the team, but you’ve gotta make it mean something while you have the window, however long that is
