Round 1, Game 1: Minnesota Wild @ Dallas Stars, Monday 4-17-23, 8:30pm, American Airlines Center

I was with you on Freddie a couple years ago when he really didn't do anything,  but his game really has improved. 

I think our surprise is going to come from the 4th line.

Faber looks pretty well.

Watch his feet, positioning, and stick.  He is a natural and will remind everyone of Brodin soon.  He is really impressive when you get a lot of looks at him.

One here sure would be nice

much better game 1 than we had last year 

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Gotta LOVE those less-than-60-seconds left goals to end a period!

 

[Alexandron]

Kaprizov redirected a goal to the net!!!!!

[EmptyShelf]

Big first period for Wild.  Gus looks solid.  And, then there is Kap; 4-5 shots and a goal.  Came to play

[Jimtown guy]

Can’t ask for much of a better start than that. Keep it going boys 

[bbgarnett]

I think we tend to usually play better when we start on the road in playoffs, Col /Vancouver 2003, Col, 2014, St louis 2015,

I hate match-ups like last years Blues (or '21 Vegas).  We didn't have enough sandpaper.  Reeves will help, as will DuHaime and Foligno - need some nastiness on several lines.

Now we have to win this one so JTG can compensate for that.
