That as a Minnesota Wild fan, I will never again, and I mean never, say a bad word about Mikko Koivu. And I take back all of the bad things I ever have said about him in the past. Why? In this play-off series against the Colorado Avalanche, he has been a MAN. Clutch goal scoring, great defense, unbelievable effort–it’s truly a pleasure to watch! And for once, I’ll admit that I’ve been wrong, and it will be the only admission of wrong you’ll get out of me this year.
By the way, if you’re a Wild fan, is it problematic that both Todd Fedoruk and Keith Carney have more play-off goals and points this year than our beloved Gabby? Just curious…
I couldn’t agree more. Mikko is the man!
It’s awfully frustrating to watch the Wild have great scoring chance after another and just not able to get the biscuit in the basket!
It would be just like this team to come back and win the final two to take the series, but I’m not placing any bets just yet!
It’s really hard watching Gabby right now as well–he’s so clearly pressing. This team has no “proven” go to scorer, it’s not Gabby, and now it’s really starting to show.
The depleted defensive core is starting to show some holes now as well–probably because they’re all so tired!
Nick-Back is going to have to stand on his head to give us a chance!
