Dallas as a city I've been to twice (Im not a American) , it was not what I expected and it was great both times, people were great too nothing bad to say there. However, I just dont like the Stars, never done, dont know why I just dont. Go Minny I guess.
Three of the four goalies have over a .900 sv% this season…
The other is Jake Oettinger
I despise the take of "this team is built to beat this team specifically"
10:47 worst take I've heard in a while
Why are we complaining about 🔥 first round matchups??? No better playoffs in sports for a reason. Theres also preferred matchups but no 'easy' teams
The beeping in the background again 🥲
All comes down to how the refs reward the Dallas dive club.
I take Kaprizov and Boldy over Robertson and Rantanen
Minnesota has 2 Olympians on D ! And, we have a better D !
Wyatt Johnston is 22 years old, and when he struggled in the first round last year, he was 21 years old. I feel like none of the national hockey podcasters ever bring that up.
He's 22 lol. He;s still years away from entering his prime, yet he had 45 goals/86 points this year.
Bunting was today's 'huh, he's on THAT team now??'
I hate Dallas with every fiber of my being. I will never forgive them for stealing my childhood team and not having the decency to change the name or the logo. The only part of the wild that scares me is our small and soft d-core. Spurgeon and Brodin have had 11 chances to get out of the first round and haven’t been able to. Go wild!
Before the season started, I had the Wild in the SCF. Not changing that prediction now.
Steel, Faksa, Bunting, Lunds are all back already. It’s just Hintz and Miro rn.
1:40 whose watch is beeping
Minnesota in 7
Beat the daylights out of each other please
11:47 who else does minny have to throw out besides kk?? ever hear of 40+ goal scorer matt boldy?? dude was just as clutch as kirill this year and don't forget his goal in the gold medal game. kid's in sniffing distance of superstar status
Let's say that both teams split in Dallas, and the Wild can win game #3? The winner of this series will be whoever wins game #4, without question! Wild wins game #4 they'll win the series, but Dallas wins game #4 then it's all but over!
Quinn Hughes was the only American who consistently had Canada on their heels when he had the puck in the Gold Medal game. Phenomenal talent.
The Wild did not get shut out in any game this season, I'd love to see the teams that accomplished that and how they fared in the postseaaon.
Steve ignoring Boldy whose better than Robo is crazy
Wild are worst than the leafs. No 1st round win since 2015
Rantanen and Kaprizov are a push. The real difference in talent and playoff impact will be between Boldy and Robertson. Boldy flat out is the more impactful player:
He's a better skater and puck handler. Plus he's much better in the corners, and he kills penalties too. Just look at his play in the Olympics. Minny in 6.
Oh god the beeping is back.
Sleeping on Matt Boldy still
No Heiskanen or Hintz is yikes
Yeah they don't watch the West at all. Just looking at paper. But the only issue is Minnesota centre depth. Faceoffs. That's where this game will be won.
Quinn Hughes averages 27 minutes a night(Most of any person in over a decade) He'll be thirty a night all playoffs
Right shot d are more important when you’re playing the best left wing duo in league
Auto downvote for Quinn Hughes trade talk in a PLAYOFF PREVIEW
12:00 BOLDY SLANDER WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Also Erickson ek
Hmmmm who’s Minnesota’s second best goal scorer and second in points 🤔 Hmmm
This must have been filmed a few days ago because everyone is back except Hintz, Heiskanen, and Bastian. Heiskanen is expected to be ready for game 1
The Ducks are toast, burnt toast!
You guys expect these low T soy bags to mention Boldy? Haha.
Boldy has been every bit as good as Kaprizov
Doesn't even mention Matt boldy whos top 10 in the league for goals scored but whatever
8:41 Billy didn’t pull the trigger on Trocheck so idk if I could say he went all in
Dallas is a wild card this season. No one knows what to expect from them, particularly with so many guys out or otherwise injured.
Matt Boldy scored 40 and ended your countries hope of gold, put some respect on his name.
Heiskanen and Robertson were out last year vs Colorado and they still won
Otter needed to be rested and his last half has not been hot but whatever…
Wallsted has a
936 save percentage in the last 5 games, he's ranked 2nd in the NHL with 915 save percentage
He leads the league in 5 on 5 play with a 959
Save percentage
In close situations he has a 970 save percentage
And he has 941
Save percentage on shots coming from the cycle.
I take Wall of St. Paul.
Minnesota has been one of the lowest in PIM for the last 2 seasons in Dallas they proved it. And the fact Minny sunk 3 PPG, Dallas is in Special Teams trouble.
Gulutzan vs. Hynes
