First off I've been drinking all night. That being said... My second most hated moment in sports is the hand shake at the end of a NHL playoff series. My most hated moment in sports is the prayer meeting after football games. I decline your hand shake and will root against your team in all future games and series.
We will see you again next season. I hate to say it but I like GEE-TAY, Liles and Wolochoski, (whatever). I hope the Wild sign some of those players. The Colorado team won, congrats I guess.
Hey 68, is your avator Neal Broten? You changed sides after the North Stars were taken away? You chose to root for a team that was stolen from Quebec City? I bet you're Bronco fan posing as a Viking Fan. Shameful.
The Wild won the division because Gaborik made them just a little better than Calgary and Colorado.
Props to the Avs for completely and utterly neutralizing him. In fact, Colorado did an even better job of shutting Gaborik down than did the Stanley Cup Champion Anaheim Ducks last year. That's not easy, but with Gaborik shut down, the Avs were just a little too deep for the Wild.
So then guess that's it ?
The Wild is going to hang out with NJ, and Ottawa, and plan for next year ?
I would congratulate, and I probably will (in my own way)
Remember guys it's NOT Gaborik's fault it happens to the best of them.
He's not the only player on the team. That's just another stepping stone
(the Wild needs a few more of them stepping stones tho)
I can't really believe their fans really thought they had the slightest of hopes to win ?
well never the less its not your guy's fault either ...... that said "Good Luck Next Year"
It wont be that bad if the AVS Will Win The Cup
(at least the wild would have lost to a champ)
Hey why not ? It works for the Red Wings Nation that claims
"all their choke jobs were to good teams"
hahah if the Avs win the cup ill shave all my body hair and jump in one of MN's 10,000 lakes and pretend im a fish .. NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!!!! Avs beat the Wild cuz the Wild do not score goals... theodore is a great big siv and will get owned in his next series vs either the Sharks or Red Wings his GAA will be a telephone number.. AVS SUCK
AVS 96,01 - Very nice series and I have no problem with the hand shaking( thats called sportsmanship) but you wont get it from some of these guy's, you'll just get some smartass comment on how the AVs did this or that to win the game(ref's,blow calls), on that note , the AVs did just what everyother team has figured out to do,shut down gabby and you win.
Congrads to you and good luck , if Jose keeps playing like that you might be lifting another banner/cup?!
Hey Carpshade, if you spent any time on the" Tamed" boards, you would know I answered this question already. Scroll down the "Tamed" board until you reach the post "Take a number" then go to the 3rd page. It's all right there.
Total classless by some of these Wild Fans........... I sense some bitterness.
It's ok guys....... there's always next year.
And you can't really blame the refs. They blow calls from the both sides.
How about score some goals rather then making excuses.
Remember..... Excuses are like ---holes, everybody has one.
But maybe the front office can add some depth on the offensive side and not goons at the trade deadline would get your team some different results.
Geeez I guess that wasn't that smart of moves.
Avs fans are hereby handshaked! Can't wait to see the Avalanche/Red Wings matchup: it'll bring back many fond memories of the Claude Lemieux days:) Good luck, Avs!!
Did you want me to come out and point out the obvious ? You the Wild analyst wanted me to come out and point out a shameful attempt to play hockey by your Captain ?
