Bontz Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 The Bruins domination of the NHL this year reminds me of the Patriots domination of the NFL in 2007. Interesting to consider, will the end result be Deja Vu? I know one team that won't win it, and that's our beloved Minnesota Mild, er Wild.

f7ben Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Gus is getting the net tonight , Faber is playing and Ek has skated 3 times already and with the team this morning. I’m guessing he is cleared to play. Basically that’s the best case scenario and we have a chance. Oettinger could completely shut us down though and it’s gonna be up to our D and Gus to do what they’ve done all year. Seriously love watching Faber. Makes me feel better about Fiala that he has looked like a legit top pair dman in his cup of coffee so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bontz Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 Yeah, I'm definitely happy to see Gus getting the start between the pipes tonight. I was worried Fleury would get Game 1 ... mostly because of the bullshit that played out last year when Talbot should have started (and Fleury just ain't Fleury anymore). IMO, the West is open for anyone to win. But let's face it Ben - it's a MN sports team and we all know they'll lose The East? It's hard to envision Boston losing 4 games out of 7, but anything's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seriously watched an NBA game, and of all teams to watch you chose the T-Wolves?? Why weren't you watching the US Women's hockey team taking down Canada???

I used to like basketball about 20 years ago. Haven’t watched the wolves since 2004. Watched the playoffs last year and it was enjoyable. The effort goes up significantly in the postseason. I can’t watch regular season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to like the NBA, too but I guess I'm just an old curmudgeon and think the transition to what it is now absolutely sucks. I can't stand Lebron and what he did by establishing the whole "mega team" bullshit. He may be one of the best to ever play, but he's a cunt. I'll take college buckets any time, but the NBA? No thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kap is hurt and Zucc has gone from capable to aged out in 3 months. That top line is gonna struggle. Marjo and Boldy looked fine but not as good as with Ek there. Nyquist was awesome. Faber stole the show though. He had the best advanced stats of any player in the game. Insane how good he is. He is going to be very expensive in two years when his ELC expires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
