Dan Wallace: White-Out Of A Different Kind (un)Welcomes Jets

How about Nino? He's another one who disappears for games at a time, and often times taking stupid penalties during those stretches. Yet it's always Coyle that gets the ridicule. Nino has been a ghost so far.

All the top players need to step up here, Zucker, Staal and Granny need to produce tonight or this series is over.

Don't count on the whiteout being fully outside. There's a few of us Jets fans who will be in the X tonight bringing the white noise! Gonna be a great game tonight! Fully expect a lot of push back from Minni and would be pretty ecstatic if the Jets can take a split out of these 2

I get that Soucy is big but he's had some terrible giveaways in this series. Seeler is a steadier presence and I'd like to see him given more minutes with Spurgeon. Koivu has zero offense and is struggling to keep up with the pace. Time to switch him permanently into a shutdown role. Nino is still obviously playing hurt and also needs to be on a lower line to have any effectiveness in this series. All in all though, its been 2 bad periods of hockey out of 6 that have doomed the Wild. If they can put together a full game effort I like their chances of evening up the series, especially with BB getting to dictate line matchups.

Dan, your homer colored glasses are still keeping you from seeing the blitzkrieg the Jets are using to annhilate the Wild in every possible statistical category. The writing is on the wall for another early playoff exit for the Wild, an eventuality that everyone outside of Minnesota was aware ever before the series began. Hold on to your unreasonable, subjective belief that this is a winnable series until the 4-0 sweep becomes a reality you cannot deny.

Wow, so profound... I guess they should just end the post season now and hand Winnipeg the cup.

Beating the Wild in the playoffs does not ever establish a team as a cup favorite; it is in fact no more meaningful than casting a shadow on a sunny day.

Amazing how different this squad plays on home ice

It looked a whole lot different tonight, I'll give you that

Where was this Wild team in games 1 and 2? This team is so frustrating, could be a 2-1 series in the Wild's favor had they brought that intensity before. I agree that Nino should be playing in a 3rd line role right now. The guy clearly hasn't got over the ankle injury.
