  2. Nervous af I hope we can come together as a squad tonight and make good passes, good saves and capitalize on our best opportunities.

  3. Gotta make sure not to turtle up and get away from our physical style just because we got some bad calls. Abandoning the physical identity will only play into Dallas’ hand.

  4. Dear Sweet Baby Jesus,

    Please let us win this game and end this series on home ice on Friday,

    In your tiny, infant name we pray,

    Amen

  5. Finally, a game at a time I can actually stay up for and not fuck up my work day the next day. Let’s hope it means the Wild get the much needed win.

  6. Is it weird that I’m more worried about the officiating than the Stars themselves?

    Like I’m 99% sure we win if we don’t spend half the game on the PK

  7. Our two big goal scorers need to break through tonight and show up on the score sheet for G’s.

    Regardless of how else they are “contributing”, they need to score goals … Every game. And this is a perfect one to start that trend.

    Big time players bring it in the post season. Regular season stats mean nothing if they don’t perform in the playoffs.

    Otherwise trade them for people who perform big, in the big moments.

    We don’t care how many hat tricks you have against Arizona in January.

  8. I’m scared. Dallas is pretty good and Otter is too. We are also pretty good. I wanna say we win in seven but it could go either way. Maybe the hockey gods will be on our side for once.
