Zeev Buium signed a 3 year deal and will be in the lineup for Tuesday's season finale.

I have also heard the Wild are working to get Danila Yurov signed, but he is unlikely to be here until next season.

They can sit Chisolm, the turnover machine, and let Zeev take his spot. With Middleton still hurting I'd love to see Zeev with Faber for a glimpse of our future top pair.

Russo said that the only knock against Zeev is he is so aggressive that he turns the puck over a lot also.

Yurov has apparently sustained a lower body injury and had a procedure to fix it. It can't be too severe as he is expected to be back before the KHL playoffs.

Wild only need to beat the worst team in the league at home to make the playoffs and here we are down 2-1 with 7 minutes left.....

Of course, we had to get it to OT in order to get a win. Fleury in OT was vintage floppy and kind of fun to watch knowing it was probably the last time.
On to Vegas to get our asses handed to us. I predict we get our usual 1 win in the series before we bow out.

Yeap. The Strib article says it all about this franchise. "Fans are angry that the Wild sits ZB but thrilled about OT victory that puts them in the playoffs".

Yeah, I'm thrilled

Aw come on guys. Whatever happened to a chip and a chair and a chance?

Oh gosh. I was definitely thrilled by that ending. It seems that we're always the ones who are the victims of a last-second goal that changes the outcome of a game. How cool that this time it was OUR turn to feel that excitement. Like most fans, I had pretty much just resigned myself to a loss and missing the playoffs, so that goal with only 20 seconds left was super fun and yes, thrilling.

I’ll be thrilled when they get out of the first round. Richard Park scoring in OT on a terrible angle or Bruno ending the career of one of the most despicable people to ever put on pads. That thrilled me 😁

As a seasoned Minnesota sports fan I expect the worst and hope for the best by default. It's in our DNA......

As usual, the NHL makes sure Wild fans have to stay up past midnight just watch our team's entire games in the playoffs....

Start times of 9 PM are just plain BS....

A quote from the Athletic sums it up for us.....

Lazerus: Poor Wild fans. Every year, such hope. Every year, such mediocrity.

Game 1. Pretty much what I expected. Gus was great but they are just wayyyyyy more talented than us. They are bigger AND faster. It looked like they were swatting away gnats, at times.

Yup, I only stayed up for the 1st period and saw us working our asses off just to hang with them. It makes it easier to not stay up late to watch when the result is pretty much a foregone conclusion before the game starts. We just aren't built for playoff games with the big boys......
