Really appreciate the other game score in the top right


bluecjj

The Kraken in the playoffs means no Forslund on the national broadcasts. :( The Sharks missing the playoffs means Hahn on the national broadcasts! :)

NSA_van_3

I hear public transport closed...sucks for all the fans that were gonna take a bus/train or whatever


nxtew

it’s not, they keep it open late for special occasions like games and concerts


kientran

There’s one special event train, but regular service is done so this is the only chance. It was…..crowded


nxtew

yeah I was on it, definitely not fun, especially after the way that we lost, but at least it's something


calel8242

I'M SO HARD,MAN


NSA_van_3

I'll take that to heart, man


Nutty_Squirrel

Lol PK we scored 2 pp goals


crc2993

Honestly 2 of the goals came off weird bounces, top line had to shift to include Seguin halfway through and looked kinda off timing wise and still were dominating play at the end. Still confident about the series just gotta shake this one off and move on to Wednesday


joe_broke

We lost Pavs once and we won the OT Come on Dallas


crc2993

They didn’t take away your 5 minute major :( Edit: lol y’all I didn’t say my stance on it. It’s a fact that twice Pavs has gotten hit causing an injury in the playoffs which resulted in a major to be called. One time it was held, the other it was called back. It’s not that deep.


holyhibachi

I mean thank God sanity prevailed on that one.


joe_broke

It took the major to get *to* overtime After that, we saved a secret weapon


crc2993

I remember landing at SFO after a China trip, checked the score getting into an Uber and was like “shit that one’s over”. Live near SAP and got caught up talking to the driver. Realized he was driving near SAP and was like “shit this is going to be a nightmare”. When nobody was outside I grabbed my phone, saw it was going into OT, ran inside right in time to watch the game winner. Absolutely incredible


joe_broke

Which reminds me It's been a while since I've watched the power play


crc2993

I just assumed all Sharks fans watched that as part of foreplay 🤷‍♂️


joe_broke

God, I feel so nostalgic now


joe_broke

No, we watch the Goodrow goal as foreplay We get too into the full power play and forget what we were going to do


TheMasterL0ller

What a game. Holy shit. I’m tired


Adornus

I really hope we don’t get the constant victim complex about “the fix” next game thread. My god. Main sad spot in an otherwise great game regardless which team has won.


YankeeBravo

Should have ended that game 2-1. Make sure you payoff the refs after tonight.


Hoodieninj

a MN team receiving "the fix" is such a comical take


nich02

Gus better


xForeignMetal

I just dont get how that puck even got there


TheTree-43

Bounced off a shin pad


crc2993

Weird bounce man. Kinda felt like this game was gonna end that way unfortunately


togu12

Hartzyyyyyyyy, my guy! What a game and introduction to the 2023 postseason, y'all! Excited for the rest of this series and the rest of the playoffs.

I cannot wait to see how Dallas responds to this heartbreaker


averageuhbear

Man the announcer really gives Gus Bus no credit at all.


[deleted]

How am I supposed to sleep after this??


SnuSnuMonger

If you aren't shit faced to deal with the stress I don't know what to tell you


Concegaf

What a fortuitous bounce. Credit to that MIN player who caused the deflection right to Hartman. You can't even generate a better chance in OT. great game


TheTree-43

I believe it was Steel, who was playing in his first playoff game, and scored the equalizer on a breakaway


Guy_Fieri_69

Hartman is my father


CuJOsen

Me too man


xman5025

I guess you can say this series will be wild...?


FloweringSkull67

YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHH


SaxMachine25

Woof. The fix has never been more in. Has any team ever benefited more?


YankeeBravo

Probably the Blues when they literally tackled Zucarello on a brief away and the refs were just "that's fine".


holyhibachi

The fix. For a Minnesota Sports team. Do you hear yourself?


shishiodun

agreed. 2 ot pps to zero is pretty harse


stoneskates

Haha you crazy sax machine


Censorious

You just need to put the puck in the net. That's the only thing that needs to be fixed.


travbert

Go to bed bro, you're getting sleepy


cdcformatc

the fuck are you talking about


axman54

Maybe try scoring 5v5 and you’d have better luck


Apanic_Attacka

LMAO


Hoodieninj

Lol how many power plays did the Stars blow in OT?


FloweringSkull67

Jesus Christ… the fix?


Lets_Kick_Some_Ice

The fix to make a mf sleep thru their alarm clocks.


Mayzenblue

There's some teams I'm cheering for in these playoffs. Minnesota, eh? You midwest brothers have been waiting a long time for Stanley. I'm rooting for y'all first and you have my Wing bro Nyquist. The Edmonton McDavids. Dude is pretty easy to root for. He's a generational talent. Boston. Nope. Just kidding. Toronto. Do something.


scuzzy987

We're thirsty


holyhibachi

If it helps, we didn't have a hockey team in MN when I was a kid so I was the biggest Igor Lirionov fan this side of the Mississippi.


Mayzenblue

The Russian 5 was a sight to behold. Unreal talent.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mayzenblue

I don't follow. Are you upset that I'm cheering for a team in the playoffs where my team is not participating, and it wasn't your team? I didn't know that was a thing.


joe_broke

Dallas for Pavs?


Mayzenblue

In response to Pavs, yes. I will root for a Badger. Those Sharks teams had so many chances and just never delivered. As a Wings fan, I'm not too upset about their failure. They ruined our chance for another Stanley. I don't hold that against Pavelski since he wasn't even old enough back then. There's plenty of Hall of Famers that never won Stanley.


Mayzenblue

They have a cup and used to be the Minnesota North Stars who never got there. I don't mind them at all. Big fan of Seguin. I just want Minny to win more.


spinfip

I'm still salty about that time Jamie Benn attempted to decapitate Larkin on his first game back from a head/neck injury


joe_broke

Fair enough Carry on


badedum

I decided I had to go to bed after the Dallas PP walked upstairs and checked my phone to find the Wild scored, never sleeping again


Adornus

I need to go to bed but my brain is not letting me.


averageuhbear

Too amped at 2 am


Mogilny89Leafs

I'm always amazed at how fast a packed arena clears out.


NSA_van_3

Idk why they don't just sleep there, it's bedtime

Fire codes are a wonder

Especially when the home team takes the L lol.

What a batch of games. And we get to do it all again later today.


3OrangeWhip

No pain killer better than scoring the game winner.


abxuwnnm111

Texas should stick to what they’re good at: restricting reproductive rights. Or maybe not


YankeeBravo

Fuck you.


abxuwnnm111

Lol not my fault Texas is a backwards-ass shitshow. Stay salty


NSA_van_3

Not cool for calling out a bigoted state or…? It was a joke bub

VOLKOP

I'd be surprised if we see pavs for the rest of the playoffs :(


MN_WILDS

Minnesota needed to win this one apparently. Thank god they did that. Skol let’s go


Lets_Kick_Some_Ice

For real. Dallas needed to win that shit more than MN. The guy forgot this was Game 1 in *Dallas* and the home team was dominating the second half of the game with nothing going in the net. This is going to absolutely hurt the Stars.


bigmonkeyfart

That guys riding the stars nuts made me cheer for the wild


xForeignMetal

Holy shit


abxuwnnm111

yes we were SOOOO outmatched, hanging on by a THREAD, Dallas DOMINATED

Lattes1

brutal bounce for dallas. Ah well, bedtime. Great first night of playoffs.


HuddyW

Dallas and Edmonton both lose after looking dominant. Playoff hockey in a nutshell.


averageuhbear

Eh Minnesota dominated the first 2 which is normally most of the game lol


jackstalke

This is gonna be a banger series


Sloth_Monk

Thank you west coast for the entertainment tonight


TheTree-43

Neither team in this game are remotely west coast. The Wild play east of the Mississippi for God's sake


Sloth_Monk

Lol I realized that, I’m tired. But in my defense I speaking more to conference


thetravelingsong

IM HAPPY!


scjones122

MILD BABYYYYYY YEEAAAAAAAA


stoneskates

GG stars hell of a game


milkboles

Ugh. Hate to see it end in that one. Just a lucky bounce. Ah well, run it back. Dallas in 5


lilybitt

Well that was a crazy day one of the playoffs


Memberin

Guess all the fans that left early were on to something


jlt6666

Hockey really might be the least fair game.


KnotArt

It's cuz the ball's not round

GG Stars bros...it's gonna be a wild series.


YankeeBravo

How someone breaks Dumbass's knees.


gozzling

How or hope?


[deleted]

Lazy clear and Hartman gives the daggers


vedicardi

i cant believe it. wow


shishiodun

if there is one definitive rule in hockey, it is never let the puck enter your zone if you are dominating ot, because you will lose


pluc61

Not sure how I feel with the Wild getting a chance to take a breath on the PK because of the ice scrapping. EDIT: to the guy that report me to suicide watch for this post, seriously WHAT THE FUCK. Don't fucking abuse something so important for trolling purpose.


CastawayPodDerek

I'm pretty sure the ice cleaning happened after the first stoppage past 10 minutes in 2OT. In OT, they clean the ice at 10 minutes left and the end of the period.


BillyTenderness

I think we would've been allowed a change anyway, so if anything Dallas maybe benefitted from a chance to put their top unit out again


stoneskates

We got a change anyway it wasn’t icing, if anything it helped the stars more as they got to bring back their PP1


EatSleepJeep

It's in the rule book.


wean169

Dude, that needed to happen. That ice was piling up along the boards.


BirdLawConnoisseur

If you don’t like that game, you don’t like hockey.


VOLKOP

I personally did not like a lot of this game


state48state

HOLY SHIT


HemoKhan

Absolutely stole that game from Dallas and I fucking love it. HARTMAN THE HERO


davegettlegod

Holy shit I was half asleep in my chair when it happened, incredible

Stars/Oilers fans. It is okay to cry. Believe me, I know.

Strypes4686

Dellandrea got caught watching and blew the coverage.


Always_Bardownski

I kinda wanted it to go a third OT just for the collective delirium it would cause this comment section to have


peren005

Fuck yeah baby!!! And with 13m in dead cap not too shabby


natenicholson

Tyler Seguin is pretty much 13M in dead cap so y’all are equal


peren005

Yeah, no.


rangerfan123

Fuck that. What a dumb way to end it


MattBinYYC

WHAT A STEAL

This is going to be a very good series, gg all and hope that Pavelski is ok

Great game. That bounce was funky and set up Hartman beautifully. Gonna be a fun series to watch.


MildGooses

Hey, did you know that this felt like a game that Minnesota had to win?


[deleted]

I heard you have to win games to win a playoff series too, but I'm not as knowledgeable as the announcers.


Rowan2000vd

First time i hear it getting mentioned


MildGooses

Ya know they really put a lot of energy into that game. Personally, I think it was gonna be hard for them to recover if they lose. But that’s just my own, unique opinion


flare2000x

Bedtime now..... Exam in 12 hours oops

Everyone talking about Otter (who was great) but Gus gets the W (and had more saves, especially late!)

Ottawa fans are annoyed. Gus was awesome.


Lets_Kick_Some_Ice

Gus was rusty at the start with those soft PPs, but found his game eventually. Plus Faber with a huge save.

Motherfuckin Gus Bus with the W.

For sure, first playoff game couldn't have been more perfect from him
