Are you kidding me? Jaden McDaniels lead the Wolves and Quin Hughes leads the Wild to two series wins in a single night. This has to be just unbelievable.

Well, I just watched my last hockey game for the season as the Wild go out in classic Minnesota style. I'm sure I will watch my last basketball game on Friday. And so it goes.

The Wild are the first team in NHL history to have a 3+ goal lead at the first intermission of a playoff game but then have fewer than 10 shots on goal the rest of the way and end up losing.

I'm not convinced the Wild have the right HC...

Can they re-sign Quinn?

Avs are elite, but the Wild need to improve their D if they hope to get over that hump

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

I'm not a Wild fan but I sure enjoyed watching them knock the Stars out!

The Wild don't have the right head coach, not enough good players, but they are better than they were last year. Pathetic way to lose last night!

I was a HUGE North Stars fan growing-up...Playoff hockey is a blast

But yah, I've been a casual fan of the pro game for a long while now. Same with NBA.

Showtime fan growing-up. Loved the Celts/Laker series.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Not sure about the HC but the offense needs to improve. Like Sticky said they had 10 shots on goal after the 1st intermission, that is not going to win playoff hockey games. They seem tentative and don't look to attack. The game before last they had a 4 minute power play and couldn't score. They swung big trading for Hughes and the question is will they be able to resign him. Kaprizov was pretty much a non-factor for the money he is making. Have to wonder why they were dangling Wallsted at the trade deadline then played him every game in the playoffs except 1 or 2 games.

Not having Brodin and Eriksson Ek sucked but they are getting closer. That blown lead was disgusting

One day when you least expect it, someone will say to your great, great, great grand children, "smile, a Minnesota team is playing in the championship".
