  2. Is traffic really that bad at 7pm on a Saturday in Dallas? Certainly seemed like a significant number of fair weather Stars fans were worried about it. Or maybe this is why they never deserved the North Stars to begin with. Fuck Dallas and fuck Norm Green!

  19. What an amazing game. Beautiful work from everyone, especially Wally and the stars (ours of course)

  24. I was robbed of head taps for Wally?! What a game though. Now we just need to keep up the pressure. Looks like the rest days did the boys a lot of good!

  26. Starting Wally was SO the right move!

    Truly could not have asked for a better start to this series. The boys are in control, just need to keep it up!

  27. This ties the franchise record for largest margin of victory in a playoff game in franchise history with game 5 of the 2003 western conference semifinals against Vancouver, a game the Wild won 7-2

  30. Jesus it feels good to have a wild team actually show up in a game one of the post season

  32. THE GREAT WALL OF SAINT FUCKING PAUL STANDS TALL 🧱🧱

    FUCK DALLAS AND FUCK NORM GREEN

  34. Stars legitimately are frauds. Without power plays they are nothing. They desperately try to bait us into their bullshit so they can get a man advantage.. too bad for them, doesn’t really work when you’re down 4 goals.

    I have no idea why I was over complicating it but holy shit I’m so glad to be wrong about who would get the net for game one. If all goes well, Wally won’t ever leave that net, and I don’t think he will

  35. The actual audacity for them to say “if they find a way to win game 2” like my guy they found it

  37. Does Sweden have a Disneyland equivalent? That’s where Wally deserves to go after he hoists the cup.

  40. Dallas Divers club getting fingered on the power play made me a very happy Man. The boldy shorty off the crossbar would have sent me over the edge

  41. We got a statement win in no small part because Hynes made a correct, but difficult decision in net

  43. The wild need to do more watch parties, the barn was on their feet cheering.

  45. Man, last weeks game felt like a playoff battle, tonight the wild just dog walked the stars.

  49. We scored 6 which is fucking amazing but Wally was so good. He made all the saves he should have plus a couple that easily could’ve brought Dallas right back in the game. What a first playoff start for our future franchise goalie

  50. Great game to start the series. Wally absolutely bailed us out there in the final ~5 minutes of the second period. We opened a door for them and they damn near kicked it in.
