I mean, the avalanche are so deep down the middle.

That's what scares me about them for Minnesota.

But this series, Minnesota took a really good team, a 112-point team, and they dismantled them.

Jesper Wallstad, first Minnesota rookie to win a playoff round.

That was another gutsy call.

It would have been easy for them to go with Gustafson.

They go with him, and he wins it.

This...

This Minnesota-Colorado series, this is a Stanley Cup in round number two.

And now that the Wild have finally gotten over the hump, they're going to be even more confident.

They're a confident bunch to begin with, the way they talk, but they're going to be even bigger now, although this is the big challenge.

If Minnesota was to win this series, this might be the toughest series they play.

even no matter what happens after that.

You know, the moment I really thought perfectly encapsulated the series is Dallas finally gets that even strength goal from Bork to go up two to one and the lead last 54 seconds.

Like, they go right back down the ice, and Tarasenko scores to tie it.

And that's a perfect example of what they're all about.

I have two predictions about the Wild and the players.

Do you want to hear them?

Yes.

Love your predictions.
