WC Playoffs Round 1: Colorado Avalanche vs Minnesota Wild (Wild win 4-3).

[SHOGUN]

Even though I hated the brand of hockey the Wild played during the regular season, I'll be cheering for them just because of game 4 where the refs absolutely ****ed them over, and we know all how that feels as Flames fans (04 run).

[Tsawwassen]

TSN has been a joke for the first round. They saw the conflicts coming and did nothing about it. The Ducks-Stars game on Sunday was inexcuseable. If they screw up this game 7, they really are The Stupid Network. Hockey doesn't live here.

[ForeverFlameFan]

Darcy Kuemper is winning the series for the Wild.

3-1-1, .934 SV%, and a 1.53 GAA is helpin'.



EDIT: Bryzgalov: 0-2, .822 SV%, and a 4.85 GAA.

I'd have to check, but I think COL has scored very few goals 5 on 5 since game 2. Not the sign of a playoff team.

Only 4 even strength goals in last four games
Plus 2 shorty's, 1pp

I think it less than four 5 on 5, as they had one 4 on 4, and one EN. Two 5 on 5 goals?

You are correct sir.
A 4 on 4 goal and one with goaltender pulled in their 4-3 OT win.
Two goals 5 on 5 in last 4 games

But then, the Avs have been defying statistical odds all season, and that trend may not be done just yet.

I'm pretty interested to see what the Avs' skill guys do in game 7. If they just go full steam ahead and let it all out it could be a sight to see.

Avs will probably lose tonight and then finish in McDavid territory next season.

For those that do not have TSN2, this game can be seen on RDS.

How can this possibly stand? Goalie had no chance of making that save with the Avs player in his face. Wasn't pushed into him either.

Furlat and McAuley in a game 7 that's how. Haven't got a clue.

[Ashasx]

I can't recall a team getting as many breaks as the Avs have this series.

[AltaGuy]

Goalie interference maybe?

Minny has been jobbed this whole series. And I hate Minny.

[kirant]

I don't know how that wasn't a penalty to McGinn.

[DOOM]

Lol awful call by the ref

[Ashasx]

And there's the makeup call.
