Takes

We played well for about 10 minutes but that's not going to do it against these guys

Such a misleading score, I was STRESSED

They are sticking to the script. I called it earlier. Avs take the first two, then Wild, then Avs, then the Wild come back from 3-1 down. Its coming. Just watch.

@FlameRaptorRaven

Closer than the final score tells you. More importantly, I think these teams are sick of each other. As if the pushing and shoving after the final whistle didn’t tell you that, the chirps during intermission should give that away. With that being said… Minnesota, with all due respect, you shouldn’t have had a chance in this game. You got BODIED for 80% of this game and only gained any kind of ground in the latter half of the 2nd and first half of the 3rd. The shots were 20-4 in favour of Colorado at one point. Wallstedt did everything he could to keep Minnesota in this one, it just wasn’t enough. If you needed more proof of my thesis statement, just watch the 3rd. It was there some dynamite hockey, but I can’t help but imagine both teams thinking some variation of ‘I would like them to stop’. For Colorado, they just want Minnesota to die and stop surviving like Bears post-hibernation. Meanwhile, the Wild just want Colorado to show any weakness and stop toppling them. The end is near.

damn when i went to bed it was 1-1 wtf happened you could say something wild happened once i went to bed

avs are too good, but great game. hughes and wallstedt kept Minnesota in it, but wasn't enough. mackinnon is not beating the empty net merchants BUT he deserved that goal

Well shiii hopefully the Wild can come back in the series

@DarthPlagueisTheWise

This was a really great game that came right down to the wire! Parker Kelly would end up with the game winner right after the Wild tied it to make this series a lot less exciting

This game really wasn’t that close, Blackwood was excellent and the Avs dominated all game. I’m also convinced that teams are better off keeping their goalie in net when Mackinnon is on the ice. That dude is the goat of empty net goals 😭 Edit: I retract my first sentence, the Wild did lead for a bit and responded after 2 Av goals. I think they were gassed towards the end, particularly with Faber and Hughes

One of the first hockey games I’ve watched all the way through, Avs goalie was nails

Let’s be completely honest with each other. Nobody’s beating Colorado in a best of seven series. There is not a team in the league that can. The only slight exception is the Carolina hurricanes but even that’s a 4-2 victory for the Avalanche. Pure dominance.

Just as you think the wild can do something in this series the avalanche shows how dominant they are

lol people are so impressionable, all my friends thought that the wild were gna take this and all i could say is "just wait" and now the aves are one game away from the WCF.

This serie is so fun to watch. Everyone played great

@sylentfeedback

This game was ok. It was back and forth until Colorado got the lead and won. Now the series is 3-1 Colorado. The Wild need to make a comeback to win this series.
