Hard to believe in this team with the losing streak to end the season. They better prove me wrong and be ready for the playoffs and beat the Stars. We need another Wild-Hawks series

I have pretty low expectations for this. I could see Dallas with the sweep. I could also see the Wild winning in 6, basically shocking most pundits like last year when the Wild beat the Blues in 6 at their own game.

I'm sure Dallas fans don't feel any better. Hey you're the best team in the west, here's your reward: starting on Thursday at 8:30.
At least none of our games are on USA. That would be the ultimate kick in the nuts.

The start times shouldn't be a surprise anymore. Eastern teams start at 6, west at 830 or 9, 930. This is nothing new in order to get doubleheaders on air.

Panthers fans predicting the Wild get swept.
Where did we go so wrong as a team?
I think that'll be a whole off-season thread.

I'm a little more optimistic than the rest of you guys, though maybe I'm just clouded by emotion and bloodlust. I'm hoping the emotional weight of the series gives the players--especially the natives--an extra step or two. Lord knows it worked the first regular-season game against Dallas back in 2000.
I do think it's noteworthy that we actually had a winning record if you take out the new OT format--we were 34-33 in regulation. Since there's no 3-on-3 in the playoffs, I would expect us to (slightly) outperform our record. Remember, Dallas beat us 3 times in OT, and we generally actually looked half-decent against them 5-on-5.

Another year, anothe big fat ****ing shaft up the central time zones ass thanks to the league force feeding the eastern conference down everyone's ****ing throat. **** off NBC. I want to watch my team, not the teams you want me to watch. **** the leastern conference.
Would an early game at weekend hurt? 3:00 PM start or something would really help a lot for example if Game 2 started at that time. I'm not too fond of all these starting times. It's probably some eastern teams who get early starts at weekends again.

Edit: It'll be 10:00 PM starts in Finnish time for the next weekend. Saturday we get NYR-PIT and Sunday it'll be STL-CHI at the aforementioned time. Gotta start planning how that saturday works, is it gonna be NYR-PIT from 10PM to 1AM, two hours of sleep and then the Wild game or should I skip sleeping...

Yeah, it just didn't feel right when you were a moderator.
What? I cussed as much as a mod as I do now.

Ok, dis hockey
I have got to be honest. I'm more excited about the Draft than this post season. Not because I want us to lose but because we will.

Wait, you're no longer a mod?

To be honest I really don't mind the late starts.
I like having the Eastern Conference games on early, and I usually go to bed around midnight anyways, so it's not too much of a burden for me if they start at 8:30

Hey boys I'm here to jump on your bandwagon. I picked Wild in 7. We've got more experience and these pretty boys in Dallas fancy game won't hold up long.
Who's our edgiest player this season?

Okay, lets acknowledge one fact. We made the playoffs, 16 teams did, 14 didn't. Everyone wants to make the playoffs. Let's be a bit hyped that we get to see the best championship format there is in the world, with our beloved team in. Let's ****ing do this. Anything can happen, even how phlegmatic the team has looked.
...maybe it's a trap! Elaborate plan to show them all!
