Series Talk: Minnesota Wild v Dallas Stars Playoff series thread | DAL Wins 4-2

[Minnewildsota]

I don't like the odds here. Stars are on fire, finished regular season with 6 wins.

Top lines (points, ppg, +/-)

Robertson: 109, 1.33, +37
Hintz: 75, 1.03, +31
Pavelski: 77, 0.94, +42

Kaprizov: 75, 1.12, +4
Hartman: 37, 0.63, +7
Zuccarello: 67, 0.86, -3

Ugh...

I'm been reassured that your boy would be good to go for the playoffs. What's the concern?

I won't defend him. But he's frustrated, I'm sure he's still having nightmares about that open net against the Jets.

There's a ton of pressure on him now, another sub-par playoffs and he can re-sign for a million and play on the 3rd line after next season. Kirill will still have his "dad" around.

Who is this and what have you done with Webster?

 

[Sad People]

Roberston and Oettinger scare me.

Ugh...

To be fair, that match-up on paper looks better if Kaprizov didn't miss a month after a dirty/fluky hit and Hartman didn't miss 22 games.

Kaprizov would be 100+ points, Zucc would probably be in the mid-70's and Hartman in the higher 40's.

The +/- though....man can that team score.

Lineups in practice today. A solid chance that'll be our game 1 lineup. Good for Faber getting trusted.

Also think he means Duhaime over Shaw lol

Good to see no Merrill. Even better to see Faber!

 

[Sweetnut]

Hoping we can ice a third line with Sunny, Freddy and Nyqvist to match against that first Star line. Sunny has been effective in that role on a cup winning team and I think this is the way

This is the way.

Klingberg and Faber together. Weird.

Would be more optimistic with a healthy JEE.

Who centers the Boldy line? Steel? NFW!

 

[Sad People]

Nice to see Faber in the lineup.

Yeah you cant break up the 1st or 2nd line.

Really exciting.

A rookie d-man with 2 games experience starting over Merrill (547gp), Goligoski (1,042gp), and Addison (whocaresgp) in the NHL playoffs?

We officially know that the coaching staff really likes Faber and he pretty much guaranteed opening next season with the team. Man, I'm already excited for a potential Brodin/Faber d-pair.

 

[TaLoN]

Freddy is the best remaining guy for that line sadly... until Ek is back, it's his spot.
Just shows how utterly terrible this team is down the middle.

I thought Rossi was still in the mix, otherwise I have no clue.
Petan? No maybe not

No idea who this Foligni guy is... hope he plays better than Foligno

 

[Minnewildsota]

He just wanted to sound more Italian.

[f7ben]

Yah , we’re going to be absolutely mercilessly gaped. Damn

 

[Sweetnut]

Both Ek and Sunny is skating today. There is hope at least!

 

[f7ben]

I mean Russo is literally telegraphing flower for game 1 lol , there are still some here that don’t see it.

That could actually be the best option if Faber is good defensively so he can negate Burgers hickups. Not weird, Wild.
Otherwise I wouldn´t mind trying Bacon and Burger together, they can at least communicate in Swedish and the Dallas dudes would have no clue what they say.

Ugh...

Gus man will shut them down, but fluery will be flooping around the crease like a wounded crappie.

Man...Gus should've gotten new pads if all it takes is winning a fashion show!
