Default Now these boys Work!

I was just thinking how there are teams like New York and colorado who are buying there way into the finals. But a thing i like about Minnesota is They work with what they have! There not out buying Every frickin big name. They use the infamous players that they have picked up over the short time here and work with what they have. I just wanted to get that out. This team Knows what hockey is really about.

they win because once they get a one goal lead they fall back and play the trap...you see those teams who "buy there way into the playoffs" doing that? no they go out and score more...4-5 goals...it's easy to just sit back and hold a one goal game....having 6 D and just clearing it...

Yeap, they are the only team in the NHL doing this. No other team goes into a defensive shell... come on.

The reason it's so obvious on the Wild is because they lack the big name, high dollar guns that some other teams have. Gaborik hasn't matured enough yet and without a skilled veteran along side him, I wonder when/if he will reach his true potential.

It's true other teams have resorted to the trapping style but none of them have mastered it like the Wild. Makes for boring hockey IMHO.

Devils are a trapping team, and they've mastered it right up into Game 7 last year, for the cup. Not to take anything away from the Wild, and I admire the way they conduct things.
Plus, since when are the Rangers in the finals? I agree, they buy, but is there any magic flowing in the Big Apple?

Well he would but I think Gordo is moderating his own posts now k:

The styke the Wild play is part the problem wirth the NHL today. Yes they work hard but they work hard at stifling the game which sucks from a fans point of view. Lemaire is a genius but I don't have to like what he does to the game.

haha nice one Gordo

Minny does play boring hockey no question about that. They did beat colorado int he playoffs last year and the canucks...that deserves some credit...trap or no trap...This year is different though...they suck and i'm happy I hope they lose to the nucks on Thursday...It's weird how they can have such a large fan base for such a boring style...
