2014-2015 NHL Season

[MafiaMan]

There have been a lot of guys who have been pretty useless this series for the Wild and a most of them are the highest paid guys. Pomminville, Vanek, Koivu, and Suter have been some of the most notable guys struggling.

Before tonight's game, Koivu was a -12 against Chicago in the last three playoff series'. Zach Parise was a -11.

Just sayin'...

Toews with a nice chance.

[cberkas]

Blackhawks 3-1

[cberkas]

Dubnyk has given up 2 softies tonight.

[SiouxScore]

Dubnyk was great in the 2nd half and real solid in the St. Louis series but after this series the Wild will have to be wondering a little more about just what kind of contract and how much they are willing to pay him.

[Cratter]

The Wild have had the lead in this series for exactly zero seconds.......

 

And its official.

Just sayin'...

Believe Koivu only had something like 2 points in all those series combined as well.

[cberkas]

Blackhawks 4-1

[Fetch]

Back to Minnesota Mild

[cberkas]

4-2 Blackhawks

[The Sicatoka]

Minnesota Wild: too many Gophers

[cberkas]

4-3 Blackhawks

[cberkas]

Toews hits the post to ice the game.

[Cratter]

Exciting Finish.

[cberkas]

Blackhawks sweep the Wild.

 

Wild's Stanley Cup was the Blues.

"Two guys who went to the same school. Just different times."

Looks like a lot of Wild Fans gave up on the series and sold their tickets to Blackhawk fans for this game.

[SiouxScore]

Wild just never looked capable of putting together a complete performance and playing at a high level consistently in this series. Hawks were the better team really taking advantage of Wild giveaways all series and were much better finishing on their chances. 

[SiouxForever]

Wild have a lot of soul searching to do. Here's hoping they don't make the playoffs next year. Colorado rebounds. Boom.

[Oxbow6]

At no time...not even a second...did the Wild have a lead in this series. With Dubs playing like Crawford from round 1 this was a total mismatch. Wild desperately need a top line center...Koivu isn't it. But with Suter so grossly overpaid there is zero money to go get a true top line guy. Now I can cheer for my 2nd favorite team...Go Hawks!

That is all that needs to be said.

Quinnville licks his chops anytime he can throw #19's line up again Zach's.

Makes sense that they were being scalped for $250 a pop outside the arena - lots of red and white in that building last night.

...and when things aren't going well we see that Matt Cooke is no better than Steve Ott.  Cross checked and slashed Hossa, and once again stuck his leg out on Hjarlmasson.  Wonder if they will still look at that hit for a suspension since Hjarlmasson came back to play.

Boy, isn't that the truth? That sequence with Hossa was ridiculous.

Is there a reason why teams and/or the NHL keep this guy in the league?
