MafiaMan Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 I'm not shocked they lost, it was the manner in which they lost that bothered me. I didn't see the pushback that winning teams show - there was a little in the 2nd with the goal, but then the Blues got one right back, and MN seemed to give in for the night. On a side note; I never liked the idea that a team is "due for a bad game". A good team should always play a good game, even if they don't win, IMO. Adversity. Go back and look at pretty much every Stanley Cup champion starting with 2014 and you'll find that every single one dealt with some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hidden in last night's MIN loss is that STL now regains home ice advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn-O Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hidden in last night's MIN loss is that STL now regains home ice advantage. The Wild have been so good on the road the last three months, minimal concern here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxforcefans Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Adversity. Go back and look at pretty much every Stanley Cup champion starting with 2014 and you'll find that every single one dealt with some. Of course - it's hockey. Again, it's not the loss, but what I perceived as rolling over in the loss, that bothered me. The Wild have been so good on the road the last three months, minimal concern here. Very true!

Fetch Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Do u think Dubs just needed a break - I was wondering if he could last - I sure hope he bounces back - he has had a icredible run Terrible time for a burn out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sioux rube Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I thought Yeo would pull him after the Statsny goal made it 4-1, which took the air completely out of the building. I agree. I looked at my buddy after the 4th goal and said that's it for Doobs. Nope. Kept him in there but was obvious to us all at the X that he didn't have it. Probably would not of mattered but Doobs needed to sit on the bench clear his head and get ready mentally for game 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southpaw Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Anyone think the Wild would have had a better chance to win last night if Adrian Peterson had played? I mean, he rushed for 2,000 yards three years ago, so he has to be pretty great, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
