The games in Colorado were fairly even and this game was fairly even as well, tilted towards the Wild by the end. They haven't been as badly outplayed as you are making it out to be , other than games 3 and 4, those were a disaster.

Duchene is now back and he was a difference for the Avs in this one. They were unlucky not to take the lead on their third period power play.

we are going to have to agree to disagree, I think the Avs have been badly outplayed most of the series

Fair enough. Tonight they were certainly their own worst enemy. Stupid drop passes instead of clearing the zone allowed Minnesota to have lots of zone time.

Wild have had the lead late in 5 of 6 games...for that reason I think the Avs are extremely lucky to be alive

that being said game 7 is anyone's game

I love you zach parise

Too bad seeing the Wild push it to 7. Colorado -Chicago would be a great series

Wild-Bhawks will be pretty good too, rematch from last year.

All Roy is thinking about now is Andrew Brunette scoring on him 11 years ago. Go Wild and win it in OT. That was my prediction and I hope it happens.

Glad to see the tankers lost.

Welcome to the Show, Pat Roy! (Paaaaaat Roooooy)

[dino7c]

Roy should just pull the goalie from the start of the game since he is smarter than anyone else

If I'm Roy, I'm (Patrick Roy) starting in Goal for Game 7....show 'em how it's done!

My favourite part about this series is how badly troutman seems to want the Avs to lose.

Surely, he's not cheering FOR the wild?

[Tinordi]

I really dislike the Avs for some reason.

The Wild are winning my pool for me. If they get to round 2 I should have it wrapped up.

These Wild are not Lemaire's Wild. Parise is exciting to watch. Granlund is intriguing. MIN is one of the best US fan bases.

Game seven will be on TSN2 and RDS. The Raptors game will be on TSN and when it is finished, TSN will join the Wild-Avalanche game which will be around 2015h. Be prepared to miss part of the first period if the Flyers-Rangers game goes into overtime.

I started the season liking the makeup of the Avs but I despise them more than any other team not in BC. The more I watch the more I hate what they did last year. I don't think any other team in the NHL has had a turn around in one season like they did. Edmonton is bad just bad but the Avs had to have done what they did last year on purpose. Had to of.

Hoping beyond hope that it's a major beat down of Roy and the Avs tomorrow.

[OffsideSpecialist]

I hope the Avs destroy the Wild like a Matt Cooke knee on knee hit.

[saskflames69]

Let's go Minny, a rematch series between the Wild and Hawks would be insane!

Wild win 4-3 tomorrow, Parise with the winner.

Nah, I have a feeling Coyle seals the deal.

Roy will show'em how to lose then. That's what happened the last time he played the Wild. Brunette should suit up too.
