Minnesota has been criminally underrated heading into this playoffs. Fully healthy that team has been an absolute force.
Vegas is not the better team. The Knight's 1st line is sh**ing the bed.
Algorithm SCORES!! Not gonna argue defense is harder than goalie, this score is brought to you by Ear Hole. I am still trying to close that gap between my shoulder and neck.
As a Minnesotan and a Wild fan, I can attest to the atmosphere at T-Mobile Arena. I was actually at the very first game the Wild played in Vegas (and the first game the Golden Knights played in Minnesota) and it was incredible! I'll always prefer games at the Xcel Energy Center though, but that's just my homer bias 😂
Can’t tell you how happy I am seeing the Vegas goodnight 💩ing the bed here. Awesome breakdown as always!
Hartman was looking at the clock
The wild were having a freaking stellar season until we got rail roaded by injuries half way through. Pretty sure it was MN and winni fighting for most points in the league and number 1 on most peoples power rankings. I don't know if I agree with you saying Vegas is the better team. I am a Minnesotan though so I'm pretty biased.
no Eichel magic this year. maybe he needs to take some time off.
