tOFFICIAL PLAYOFF PUSH THREAD!

[Win TWINS!!!]

If there was a "must win" game, tonight would be almost be it.

On the plus side of things, San Jose has come back to us.

 

[IndyAndy]

They're just about ALL "must win" games from here on out - unless those above us start stumbling badly.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Of course, no help from anyone last night. This is getting frustrating.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Last night was a FUN game to watch.

2 points behind the Jets, and 6 behind Chicago. Do we dare to dream?


But really, what's happened to Chicago as of late?

2 games in hand on Jets and 1 on Chicago as well.

Realistically Id be shocked if we pass Chicago but the more serious we challenge them the better the odds are that we get safely into the playoff field.

First and foremost I want us in, but really want that 7 seed. I personally want nothing to do with Nashville right off the bat. Ducks and blues are really good too but I think we match up pretty well.

I don't know. Unless I'm misremembering, we've historically had problems with both Ducks and Blues.. Running into Nashville kind of reminds me of us running into the Avs last year. I guess at this moment, I'm not too concerned with who we play as long as we get to play!

Agreed. If we had enjoyed a better season so far we could be comfortably in a top 1/2 seed, but as of now we should just be happy that we're in a position to fight for a 7th or 8th seed at all.

We played 2 pretty good games vs this ducks team pre Doobs just came up a bit short and had a thriller with the blues. Rinne in goal can single handedly win series.

The Blues and Ducks don't have the same type of goaltending which is why Id preffer them. Ducks my top choice. All are tough.

That's both the beauty and heartbreak of playoff hockey. As long as you get in, anything can happen.

Another road win!!! Playoff teams gotta win on the road and we are hot!!!

Power play is still complete shit and the Avs are a bunch of fucking douchebags. Love beating them!!

Good to see the Wild making some moves to improve the roster. Loved the letter Leopolds daughter wrote to the Wild brass. Welcome home Jordan! Stewart could add much needed depth. Time will tell. Up next Ottawa

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I also love that once again the Wild are the Minny team willing to make moves.

Stewart will add much needed toughness to the team with scoring ability.

I just don't know how he will fit in off the bat. All 4 lines are currently rolling right now. We will see tonight.

Schroeder gets the healthy scratch and Veilleux get the reassignment to Iowa

How i figured it would go. Velliux sucks so that was no surprise. Bummer for Schroeder as I feel he complimented the physical coyle and nino great. But Stewart is obviously a better talent and is physical.

Hope we get another win tonight!!

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Got the 2 poitns last night!

Remaining schedule. Brutal. It's gonna be an exciting, if not stressful month +.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

With a win tonight, we would move into 7th, overtaking Winnipeg and still have a game in hand.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

7th place has been my pick and I'm sticking too it.


Coming into the year I thought we'd compete for a top 4 spot but the collapse made that a no go.

When we were 1 game under .500 7th was still my call. I don't think we catch chicago(would be awesome though) but I also don't think anyone catches us.

 

[IndyAndy]

7th is realistically all that we can hope for IMO. - But once the playoffs start, anything can happen.

Only 4 back of Chicago. Still a month + left.
