Series Talk: Playoff Qualifier Series: Minnesota Wild vs Vancouver Canucks (VAN wins 3-1)

[Mighty Makar]

Any update on Suter?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

The Wild are as soft as a goose down pillow. Stalock gets run over twice, nothing. Fiala taps their goalie and all hell breaks loose. That’s the Wild in a nutshell

It's the smart move if you actually have a decent power play.

Theirs is deadly. I mean dead

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Any update on Suter?

Nope.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Nope.

Hopefully he’s able to play tomorrow. I hope you guys force game 5.

 

[thestonedkoala]

Three straight games without a 5 on 5 goal. Wow.

Koivu hasn't scored a goal since 2017. Staal since 2018. You can't do much if your centers aren't producing.

That and looks it like they are pulling a plow

MIN had a lot of speed in the first period, it was just Markström left keeping VAN in the game then.

The Wild have a goalie capable of doing that sitting in the press box.

If your goal is to win, you play the best goalie. That's Kahkonen.

Sure doesn't seem like Evason wants to win. Which is a shame because the Wild team that showed up in Game 1 can hang with anyone.

Can you share the tweet? If true, devastating. I wonder if it’s his same leg as his last injury

Hi folks, Canucks fan coming in peace to offer our general perspective of your squad this series.

We don’t like your guys, many of them piss us off and even infuriate.

Goal scoring has been an issue, but we recognize that Kaprizov could have been a deciding piece, with Fiala channeling 2003 Playoffs Gaborik.

Stalock has been pretty impressive & it’s sincerely crummy that you might be down a couple of important D tonight. Most of us would rather play best on best (if you can stretch that word enough to apply to either of our lineups).

Returning to my earlier comment regarding us not liking your team, it’s meant as a compliment. Minnesota Mild no longer, you guys have some bite in your identity and it’s already planted roots for a rivalry.

Enjoy the rest of the series either way. Hopefully you draft well and improve your lineup for next season. You guys deserve a contender.

Cheers

Here is my polite assessment of your team:
Tyler Myers' neck makes him look like the Hulk stroked himself with sunblock and put a Tyler Myers mask on the tip. Also there are other players.

comments have people saying he is done but no idea if there is any truth to it.

If Russo didn't know how would random Twitter folks?

Russo isn't in the bubble, maybe these folks saw suter actually leave the bubble? I said it could easily be a rumor I just asked if anyone heard something that would make these comments come up is all.

True. I haven't been able to find any info.

 

[DeagleJenkins]

True. I haven't been able to find any info.

id assume we don't hear anything till around 1pm or whenever the time slot is for evason to speak to the media today.

 

[Olcoach]

Wondering outloud if this is the Kaptain's last hurrah.

Hoping out loud that it is

 

[BigT2002]

Wondering outloud if this is the Kaptain's last hurrah.

I don't see how it won't be. This team needs flush the toilet and get it over with. Too slow and still playing 2010 style hockey.

Suter is in the bubble as of this morning

 

[Lapa]

Anyone want to make a GDT? I can't make one at least for a few hours.

 

[57special]

Koivu will be fine as a really good 4C or decent 3C next year.

I think next year is going to be a Covid/Seattle ED affected mess anyway. We have to be thinking about who will be on the team in 21-22. Staal's contract will be up. Same with Evason. Koivu will be gone. Rask and Doobs gone. Hunt? One of our top 4 D will be gone, probably, though the more I look at it the more I think they will go 4+4. Zucc and Parise will be in HEAVY decline, causing swears among the fanbase. Suter will only be playing 23 MIN/night.

No reason to protect 4-4-1

Brodin will be a UFA and doesn't have to sign anywhere until AFTER the seattle draft.

Chance of losing Soucy if he resigns with Wild
