It’s called having a little success and getting the monkey off their back. Can you imagine the psyche of a team that knows their predecessors legacy and then knows their own ineptitude and then goes to the playoffs again and gets blasted in 4-5 games by a barely above average opponent just like last year? Might as well blow it up after that becomes the norm because you’ll never get that stench off them. I’d have preferred them not make it at all vs backing in and getting drubbed in the first round again.

I think the bigger psyche issues are with the fans.

Well we are the ones who have had to suffer with 33 years of the worst 4 sport playoff performance in the history of mankind in this god forsaken cursed state. It’s no mystery why anyone with a brain older than 40 is full of apathy and bitterness.

What is this we? Some of us have been blessed with a Super Bowl and NBA Championship in the last 15 years :)

It just goes to show you that sports are overrated, if not a well thought out torcher device.

I thought that was due to your Norwegian ancestry.
 
If fleury gets the start in the playoffs it will be a quick series. Might win 2 games at least with bus in nets.

Fluery is just not calm and unless he goes out and just starts robbing people the team doesn’t look as confident in front of him as they do Gus.
 
Gus will get the start in game 1 of the series, i just hope they dont go the tandem route and stick with Gus especially if he does well. We gotta the the Gus bus.

Russo: Losing Joel Eriksson Ek would be disastrous even with Kirill Kaprizov set to return

What’ll be interesting is how the Wild handle the Eriksson Ek injury if he’s to miss significant time.
theathletic.com theathletic.com

What’ll most be interesting is how the Wild handle the Eriksson Ek injury if he’s to miss significant time.

Kaprizov’s return would bump Sam Steel off that line. If it’s a short-term injury to Eriksson Ek, the Wild could move Steel to second-line center. If it’s long term, it’s got to be time to recall Marco Rossi from AHL Iowa.

What more can he do in Iowa before giving him a chance again in Minnesota after a disappointing start to his season (one assist in 16 games) after leading the NHL in preseason points? Since being demoted in November, Rossi has 16 goals on 127 shots and 49 points in 49 games, and he has 33 points in his past 31 games.

According to Russo, Ek is week-to-week. That's bad, but it sure could be worse than that. Broken leg and he's be out for the season.
 
Sure wish Rossi would have got a few games when he was just an option earlier in the season as opposed to, basically, a need now as we head on into the playoffs.

Hoping for the best!

The question is, do you stick Rossi on line 2 or slide Gaudreau up and Rossi on line 3? I know what most of us would do, but will Evason?

If Rossi is ready, he's ready. Very curious to see how he does this time round.

I would caution most on here that there is a definite acclimatization period, though, especially for D and and Centers. The fact that Marco has played with Boldy before can't hurt, nor will his facility on the PP, though he can't play JEE's role there very well. He will not be effective as a mucker in front of the net.... more of a puck distributor like Zucc.
I think they'll move Hartman up to the #1PP, who can approximate what JEE does, and have Rossi play on PP#2.

I’m excited to see Rossi this go around, from what I have seen, he’s made pretty good improvement in adapting to the professional game, hopefully he can translate it, we really need some help without JEE.
