It was great to beat the Sex Predators. However, I still will insist their team is not that great. We needed too many comebacks in that game. Goaltending for the most part was awful. Thank god the offense finally game alive. We did enough to win but we will need to do much better to beat the Wild.
I disagree. I think the netminding en masse in the series, while not exceptional, saved the series. Darling stepped up early and Crawford late and it was enough once the O got going. If there was any aspect of our game that was nonexistant, it was the team D. Guys were blowing coverage like aspiring actresses blow casting directors, Keith couldn't keep possession of a puck in front of the crease if his life depended on it, and overall Rosival and Timmonen were more useless than Deron Quint and Lasse Kukkonen.
If there is any aspect of the game that needs to improve before we face Minny, it's the team D IMHO.
