    In the upper deck, yes. In the lower deck, they'll be taking selfies and staring at their smartphones.

        SKA (St. Petersburg) won the KHL 4-1. Who knew that Bill Belichesky was the coach??

          From the Blues roster in today's game against the Wild, Barbashev, Paajarvi, Bouwmeester, Edmundson, Parayko, and Allen all have been coached by Wild assistant John Anderson when he was at the helm of the Chicago Wolves.

          While I'm enjoying watching the Blues do well, why do the Wild look so lost in this series?

          *edit* Yes, I know Yeo coached the Wild last year, so he knows more of their tendencies, but still... I've always found it funny when players have weaknesses in the AHL that players completely forget when they're in the NHL (ie: Pekka Rinne is terrible high stick side).

            Because the Wild players are delicate flowers and their little egos have been bruised.

              Wild stopped skating and got into hitting. Not their game.

                Um, I haven't been following the West at all, so naive question: weren't the Wild supposed to win this series?

                      Instead, "One Goal" is what the Hawks are hoping for this series.

                        They were also supposed to manage more than 4 wins in the month of March. The process of falling flat on their faces began long before this series started.

                            No. Minnesota Men's Professional teams always Minnesota in the end. The two Twins teams from '87 and '91 were either true miracles or complete mistakes.

                              Here is the problem the Wild have, and it's not new to this season.

                              NHL playoff hockey is an entirely different beast than NHL regular season hockey. I don't think we see quite the same thing in any other sport.

                              It is more physical. You have to be able to play in less space. You have to be extremely strong along the boards and in front of the net.

                              The Wild are not good at any of those things. They weren't all season. They weren't last season either. In the regular season you can thrive without being good at those things, but in the playoffs you have no chance. Not to point the finger at anyone, but when Charlie Coyle is supposed to be your power forward, and every time you see him, both skates are in the air and his gloves and stick go flying because he just got blown up again, your team is in trouble.
                              That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                                That's interesting because that's just not true of the players they have in the lineup.

                                Nino is good on the boards.
                                Coyle should be good on the boards.
                                Staal is good on the boards.
                                White's numbers are that he's a puck monster. That's why they wanted him.
                                Hanzal was picked up for this very reason.
                                Suter is a machine at taking puck's away and keeping pucks. Horrible game yesterday by the way.
                                Parise can play with less space than anyone in the league. He doesn't score unless he's in a phone booth.
                                Koivu is good on the boards.

                                I'm not buying that they're not big enough or not physical enough. Just not. I heard this from someone over text all day during the game yesterday. It's bunk. They stopped skating. I saw one of St. Louis' Lumbering Rhino's beat the Wild's two speedy defensemen to the puck yesterday. Brodziak on Friday beat out an icing against the Wild's speed.

                                The Wild got lazy and stopped skating. Watch Pittsburgh play playoff hockey. They fly all over the place. That's how you beat slow big teams that clog the middle.
