I really didn't think I'd see this during the season as I'm glad I was proven wrong when I claimed they's pretty much conceded the Division with how they played the Stars terribly back on Feb 8th.Dallas only has 2 games vs PO teams and we have 6 but I think the Av's are going to bypass them both for 1st. Prove me wrong again please... I agree. Av's is going to win a Central Division. They have 7 more games and only 3 games vs PO teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandron Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 It seems we are going to play against Dallas team during the 1st playoffs round. And regarding Mason Shaw status: Joe Smith @JoeSmithNHL 5h. Mason Shaw has a fourth ACL surgery to go through, an 8-9 month rehab. But the winger won’t have to worry about his future w #mnwild as pending RFA. “You don’t want to let go of guys like that,” Bill Guerin said.

Maybe so, But the Av's don't have exactly an easy final 6 games. Sharks, Kings, Ducks....Kings chasing VGK along with Oilers for 1st, Both only 3 pts back of VGK. Oilers, Jets and Preds...Jets and Preds battling for a PO spot. Currently 3 way tie for 1st but Av's have that game in hand.

Alexandron Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 It looks like we have a chance to play against Suter during the 1st playoffs round in case if Avalanche will be able to win a game tonight against Nashville. That intriguing game will tell us who will be our 1st opponent Dallas or Colorado? Stars or Avalanche? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexandron Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 As we predicted, Colorado won a Division title and is going to play against Seattle, but we will play against Dallas. According to Russo, we played against them once in 2016 and lost in 6 games in the 1st round. I think this season we are going to play against them 7 games and have a chance to pass 1st round. I still think that Dallas team is a better choice for us than a Stanley Cup winner of last year Avalanche team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandron Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Personally for me, this season our team had few special records: - 14 SHG; - once we placed 2SHG in same PP; - Gustavsson shined as a consistent outstanding goalie; - Boldy placed for the 1st time more than 30 goals during 81 games and 2 hat tricks; - natural hat trick for Kaprizov when he netted 3 single goals for the team including OT winner as well as he produced 40 and more goals 2 seasons in a row; - we signed 4 experienced native from Sweden NHL players who are able probably to bring more depth during playoffs to the Wild team; - we extended long term contract to GM Guerin, who always gives us surprises/intrigue in his unpredictable decisions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great list !! Gustavsson deserves all the praise and nobody could've predicted this season's results with him. But I'll add another quiet signing of Middleton. He fits so well and has played imo exceptional all season too. I'd put him right there as one of our top D behind Brodin and Spurgeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClusterChuck Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 12 hours ago, Jimtown guy said: Bring on Dallas I was hoping for the Av's since we played a bit better vs them especially later in season. In the 4 games we split with Dallas, Aside for the 1st on 6-5 (OT) we had trouble scoring getting only 4 goals in 3 games. Also gave them points in all 4. Both our wins went to OT. I guess we'll see how well built for the PO's Guerin did this time. The guys just have to go out and do it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
