Im not sure I agree. Fleury hasn’t been bad. Could have had the first goal potentially but he hasn’t really had a chance on the other three.

I don’t think he’s been bad either, but when a team comes out flat they’ll try something different.

Remember when Hitchcock started Allen in I think Game 3 or 4 vs SJ in 2016 trying to throw a dart against the wall and hoping it’d stick? It’s like that.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

The Wild fans really cleared out in a hurry!

State of Hockey.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

Hes not playing great though either.

It really does not matter what goalie they use, if their creampuff star doesnt produce its gonna be a short series and from how hes played tonight, he looks lost.

no commrades ... just greenway

 

[TheDizee]

What a great way to start the playoffs. A convincing win to "steal" home ice and then we get to watch Kadri get suspended tomorrow.

 

[Zezel’s Pretzels]

State of Hockey.

Are you saying that is their state of hockey? Because I can get behind that!

He’s been the least of the Wild’s problems.

That last goal given up is inexcusable on the defense’s part with 3 guys in the crease not clearing out the rebound.

 

[TheDizee]

Foligno is gonna cry.

Cry for us.

 

[izzy]

what a bunch of clowns

how so ? is that real ?

 

[mk80]

LOL they are so pissed!

Foligno with a punch to the back of Mikkola's head they a crosscheck on Schenn

 

[Dr Robot]

The Wild fans really cleared out in a hurry!

In their defense its 11 on a Monday. The league did Central time dirty the entire first round.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Kyrou has been absolute dogshit tonight. He looks completely uninterested and disengaged.

 

[DoubleK81]

Here come the Minnesota Goons. Bunch of f***ing crybabies.

 

[TheDizee]

espn nhl theme feels good in the playoffs, especially when the wild are crying nonstop

 

[Joshuar56]

Ouch Barbie

 

[542365]

Lol you’re such an embarrassment, Wild.

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

I don’t even think Fleury’s played bad.

I just think they’ll try something different hoping for a better result.

Yea, 2 of those can't really be blamed on MAF. Wild going 0 for 36 shots, and counting is a bigger issue for them. Plus Blues win this series 10 times out of 10 if it becomes a special teams battle and Minny just can't keep their tempers in check.

 

[TheDizee]

how so ? is that real ?

Oh its Game 1 of a playoffs, he always makes a idiotic hit in gane 1 openers. 4th time will still be a charm for him.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

The Wild fans really cleared out in a hurry!

That's too bad. They may look like dog doo tonight, but they've proven to be one of the best comeback teams. I don't get it.

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Foligno is a clown

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

Kyrou has been absolute dogshit tonight. He looks completely uninterested and disengaged.

we all know he has another gear ... he is shy on contact ... maybe put him with bozo

 

[izzy]

Kyrou has been absolute dogshit tonight. He looks completely uninterested and disengaged.

Yeah, I think he’s been the worst player for the blues, only Miko has been close

 

[Hrkac Circus]

Minny will be first in line to try and sign Husso this off-season after tonight.

 

[BrokenFace]

At this point I would take 4 - 0 over 7 - 1. I want the shutout even more than I want a barrage of goals against the Wild to end the game.

 

[Zezel’s Pretzels]

Kyrou has been absolute dogshit tonight. He looks completely uninterested and disengaged.

Eh I am no super knowledgeable guy but I disagree. He’s played within the team game and flashed some good speed at times. Compared to the last two months, he looks to me like he has more focus tonight.
