MafiaMan Posted April 23, 2015 Author 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
MafiaMan Posted April 23, 2015 Author Posted April 23, 2015 2014 Kings: blown out in game two of opening round vs Sharks 7-2. Also lost game three to go down in series 0-3. 2002 Red Wings: President's Cup champs lose first two games of opening round at home to Vancouver. Also lost game five of Western Conference Finals to Colorado at home to go down 3 games to 2. 2009 Penguins: Lost game five of SCF to Detroit 5-0. 2010 Blackhawks: blown out by Vancouver 5-1 at home in first game of second round.

The Sicatoka Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Hidden in last night's MIN loss is that STL now regains home ice advantage. Quote
Shawn-O Posted April 23, 2015 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

siouxforcefans Posted April 23, 2015 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! Quote
Fetch Posted April 23, 2015 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

cberkas Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Back-to-back neutral zone turn overs by the Islander have lead to two goals against. Quote
sioux rube Posted April 24, 2015 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
cberkas Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Red Wings blow a 2 goal lead and loose 3-2. Quote
cberkas Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 3 minutes in and Miller lets in a goal 1-0 Clagary Blackhawks and Predators 1-1 Quote

Ray77 Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Please let this happen... I'd like to see a close game with the Flames ahead late in the game and watch the Canucks come unhinged. Quote
jodcon Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 I'd like to see a close game with the Flames ahead late in the game and watch the Canucks come unhinged. I hope they have choppers standing by to get the Flames out of town before the riots start. Quote
southpaw Posted April 24, 2015 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
cberkas Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Predator up 4-1 Chicago not helping the goalie. Quote
jodcon Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 You knew someone was going to score with all the close calls in that sequence, wrong team though. Quote
