I prefer Ovechkin being in the line up because it means the chemistry on the team changes. I actually think Washington has better team chemistry without him in the line up but of course on the PP they're better with him.

If we stay out the box, we'll win.

Huge game tonight, let's get the 2!

Uh what? Lol.not even close. The team cant win without him. Without him in the line up the lines get all messed up and we all know that makes for even worse chemistry

Well, I haven't been watching their games lately so I don't know how it's been as a rule this season. I know it was like that in past years. It's why they've always failed in the playoffs, he can't get them there to the big series. So if this is true now that they are more dangerous, so be it. But guaranteed many people in Washington were complaining that they were better off without him in past seasons and I think there's a truth to what some have been saying.

Came here to see some sort of Emma Stone gif. Severely disappointed. :sarcasm:

Anyways, should be another good one tonight. Despite our insanely good PK, we probably shouldn't allow Ovechkin the chance to be on the ice while we're down a man. And of course, In Duby We Trust!

Fair point. My bad if i came off a little rude. That wasant my intention. Chemistry is a weird thing to evaluate though. Can the team preform well without a player for a few games? Yes they can but without ovechkin in the lineup for a while that would mess the team up as they look at him for the offense

From the Preds GDT:
"After Dumba scored, Parise skated around the net and it looked like he turned and said something to Weber. I wish I knew what he said."
Parise was on 93x this AM and they asked him about this, he didnt go into great detail what he said to Weber, but did elaborate how it started. At the end of regulation, he said Weber called him a flopper. Well Parise didnt take kindly to that after Dumba55 scored the winner and went and jawed back at Weber. I give him kudos for that. :)

Caps gave us a run for our money WITHOUT Ovie. I can't imagine it is going to be easier with that monster in their lineup this time.

I still remember that game a couple years ago where we had like a 3 or 4 goal lead with like 10 minutes left and that ******* scored 2 in like 30 seconds to make the rest of the game really hairy.

our new slogan should be;

Minnesota Wild Hockey; embracing other fanbases hate since 2013

Maybe we just like Christmas more than other people. Sometimes people leave their X-mas decorations up into mid June (looking at you Anoka county). Could be because they are lazy, could be because it is too damn cold to go out and do it right after the holiday, who knows.

GO ELVES!

I look at it this way. Let Ovie be in the lineup, if we are going to prove ourselves as being a playoff contender, you gotta go toe to toe with the big dogs and win some of those games. Can't sit there and be timid just because a team has one of the best players in the current NHL. He's not on the ice every shift, the defense will smother him, things should be alright.

It drives me bonkers how there is always this undertone that seems to linger with this fanbase "oh man, we are doing soooo good right now, we can go deep............so long as we don't run into anyone tough!" not sure if it is the whole Minnesota sports team stuff that people always bring up, but I say screw it.

now, as Rake Yohn said in CKY1, "LET'S GIVE THESE ******* SOME WAR!!!!!!"
