I think it's time for Evason to finally put Kaprizov and JEE together. LV is mugging Kaprizov at every turn. Put him with Ek and Foligno and watch the ice open up for him. Right now Kaprizov is being put in position to carry the team on his back and LV won't allow that. Evason needs to wake up and put him in position to succeed.




I've been vocal that I had no desire for Evason as HC when it happened but started to really like him. This post season has shown me a lot about him and i'm back to "crap this guys aint the guy" mode.

The line combos, can't free up space for Kap/Fiala, PP is back to being a disaster and lack of fire on the bench. It's all a bad combo that severely says "outcoached".


I think there are some injuries not being reported...I saw 3 stars in the lineup given. Not sure why you wouldn't put Parise or Sturm in the 2nd PP over Rask.

How did we beat Vegas so many times in the regular season, but look so cowed by them in the post season? All of the talk about Vegas "just being a better team" doesn't scan with how we matched up in the regular season.

It's the difference between a regular season and a playoff mentality. LV ratcheted up the intensity

Playoff hockey also means very few calls for cross checking, clutch and grab, etc. Other than the Foligno-Ek-Greenway line we aren't built for the playoffs because we are for the most part smaller and not as physical.

Why should size difference be more important in the playoffs than regular season? If true, that is a flaw in the sport.

The referees tend to swallow their whistles on a lot of the aggressive shit in the playoffs. They go overboard with the let them play attitude. It tends to favor teams that play a heavy game.

Well, for one game, the boys showed some fight back.

Of course they did, it was the game I didn't stay up to watch.
I just set the DVR to record the condensed version on the NHL network that is airing this morning so I can watch it tonight.

Our goaltender last night was outstanding. We would be swept with last years duo.

We wouldn't have made the playoffs with last year's duo.

So now I don't dare watch the next one, or any after that, because what if my not watching the game is the reason they won?

There's the MAF we saw in the regular season. 5 goals on 14 shots. We've got a shot if that's what we're going to get. His rebound control sucked last night just like it did when we beat them during the season. This series is all about him.

That and we really do need to skate for all 3 periods. Sounds like we got away with not doing that in the 3rd.

We skated for the first 10 minutes and that's about it. It was another 50 minute penalty kill after that.

Luckily, I had to go to bed after the first period. Up 3-1, I figured that was as good as it was going to get.

BTW - getting really tired out of the crew fawning all over MAF as "one of the greatest ever".


He's good but it's easy to ride the capes of 2 generational talents to a couple cups.

Do like I did with this game....DVR it and watch it after the fact.

It's so obvious Tenna-B knows Boldy is playing tonight, but the Wild aren't letting Tenna break the story.
