Come on just leave him be.

I mean that cross check on Sobotka was brutal. It does not matter which player or team in any league makes that play and they need to get two and ten. That is if you want to keep the game safe and under some control.

I respect you guys blu, just can't not poke fun at your comrade
, believe it or not it's all in fun. I know anthill is probably a good guy... for the most part

These double off days are killing me...

Per @JPRutherford

based on practice lines it looks as if Stastny and Lehtera are in and Barbashev and Sanford are out

ok fair enough.

Back when my PTSD ruled me and you poked me it was like poking a bear.

Please dear god no Lehtera. That's too slow. The Wild are too fast.

"--Speaking of Pietrangelo's moments as a human wrecking ball in the series, Boudreau was perturbed when the Blues defenseman blasted Zach Parise near the end of Game 4. Parise didn't seem to be injured--in fact, he took a retaliatory poke at Pietrangelo--but Boudreau didn't appreciate the hit.

"I thought it was cheap,'' he said. "They knew the game was over. There was one second left. If this was 1984 or 1978, that guy would have had a stick right in his face. But they don't do that any more.''"

This is the dumbest thing. Boudreau is so desperate right now he is trying to play head games with his opposition's players.

Since when in a play offs series do you forgo a legal check against a good player?

Did you say that spear by your player was bad? Because that's the bad play that doesn't belong.

Also Parise had his stick up inly Petro is 6'3" and Parise is 5'5" so....

I'm not sure i understand the Lehtera move other than i think they're probably disappointed in the lack of production from Tarasenko and they're trying to get him going.

They certainly need more from him at this point.

Agree with you and Guru on not wanting to see Lehtera. Maybe Barby is hurt or something? It seemed like he missed a lot of shifts in wednesday's game, I looked it up and he only had 12 something min of ice time.

There we go Anthill! That's more like it! I knew that was the only logical reason the Blues could have lost last night.

Another MnGump trolling fail attempt.

Again just do me one more solid lose one more and then the blues can have the series...

Here's hoping the Preds spend the next ten days eating Krispy Kreme's and playing video games.

And with all due respect, may Pekka Rinne be hit by a bus.







What?!?!?!?!? I said with all due respect.......

Lack of production by Tarasenko is due to him not being able to create time and space for himself and not going hard after loose pucks. I saw a few times now that he waited for someone else to get a loose puck and that almost always ended up being a Wild player.

Tarasenko has a GREAT shot, but he cannot win a puck battle it seems. If Schwartz or Steen had his abilities............. Maybe i'm being too hard on him but if a heavy team like the Wild or last year the Sharks plays him hard he seems to disappear.

Stastny on the top line or Steen. Keep Lehtera on the 3rd line. PLEASE keep Lehtera on the 3rd line.

Barbashev out is BS imho. Sanford out for Stastny makes complete sense. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

So you are trying to ensure the 2nd round series doesn't start before a certain date?
