Alexandron Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Predicting Wild win with a score 4:3 in OT in this not a simple game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 And Boudreau is back in town. What a change since he took over the Nucks. They are playing desperate but very good hockey these recent times. A full offense game ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Thing Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Not going to be an easy game at all. I think our D is better which is what is going to shine tonight. The likes of Spurgeon, Brodin, Kulikov, and Goligoski may not score any goals , but they will prove to be important tonight. Kaprizov, Boldy I think will have good offensive nights and Fleury with the help of a great night from the defense will also shine. I think the Wild win 3-1.

Jimtown guy Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Just got back from St Louis Park. Hauled back a 19’ Yukon Denali. Just a short 670 mile round trip. As far as this game goes we will be playing a desperate Nucks team that’s fighting for a wild card. And of course our guys are fighting for home ice in the first round. I’d imagine this will have a playoff feel to it. With that said Wild 5 Nucks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClusterChuck Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 'Nucks will be playing desperate so we better be ready. We could really squash their PO chances tonight even tho I'd love to have them knock out Dallas. But we want-need 2nd place. Wild Win 5-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmptyShelf Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Evening, gents. I expect desperation from Vancouver, and a playoff tempo from Wild. Should be a good game. Kap needs to pick up some points to climb back up the Top 10 list too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it doesn't have the upper dash cracking issues or power lock issues they are known to have. Best of luck with it. Not mine.
