Gus was straight up brutal. If that's the level of goal tending we get, it will be another one and done.

Last night was playoff intensity. The Wild were getting the better of the play. The PP was lethal. We just need more from the back end.

Yup, I say Gus gets game 1 and if he isn't on his game it's Wally the rest of the way.

I've been saying it for a couple weeks now. Both guys are going to get us another first round exit if things don't change soon. They've been giving up brutal goals.

If only Billy could get us McDavid to make up for our goalies.

When he is on his game he controls rebounds and the puck just stays with him when it hits him and that hasn't been happening for many games now. I sure hope Hynes doesn't pull the old, he has been our starter all season and has earned the net for game 1 BS when Wally has been the better goalie for a while now.

Bad goaltending with Gus (the sheer numbers he's giving up are alarming but, IMO, it's the way they are going in. Right through him or terrible rebound control)
Defense is too sloppy right now
4th line is really the only real positive


A lot to clean up or this will be quick.

We really need to get a split in Dallas and come home tied at 1-1 with the chance to flip home advantage our way.

I'm not sure about that. I think Hynes' job is resting on this playoff series and he think he knows that.

I agree.....I think Hynes will pull him fast if he struggles the first game (if he gets the first game).

The NHL wants the best rivalry games in the 1st round because that's when the most eyeballs are watching. It's unique to the NHL.

It's because of travel costs.

All in all - great game 1.

Now do that three more times.
