Game Log: St. Louis Blues @ Minnesota Wild, Game 6

27 Comments

It's pretty simple at this point.  The Wild need to win one of the next two games to move on and face the Blackhawks (again).

The Wild have really only had 10 good minutes over the course of the last two games.  Fortunately that was enough to steal game 5, so now they get to feed off the home crowd and hopefully replicate game 3.

Historical facts:

  • The Wild are 3-2 in game 6 historically (3-1 at home).
  • This is the first time the Wild have played game 6 with a series lead.
  • When they have won game 5, they are 2-0 in game 6 (both times in 2003).
  • The Wild have never won a series in less than seven games.

2015 Playoff facts:

  • In series where the two teams were separated by less than 10 points in the final standings, the lower seeded team is leading or tied in all 5 series (17-11 record)
  • In series where the two teams were separated by 10 or more points in the final standings, the higher seed has an 11-3 record and leads in or has won all 3 series.
  • The Wild and Blues were separated by 9 points in the final standings.

    1. First of all, what strength to not get pushed off the puck byt he defender. Then, that shot.. man that was awesome.

  5. Fontaine!

    Literally 30 seconds after Hitchcock scoffs at taking out Allen, he takes out Allen. Love it.

    1. heh, I tuned out on that interview because I hate in-game interviews. Glad it worked out that way.

  7. If the Blues give up another, how much run will Steve Ott get the rest of the game?

      1. Then again, 2-0 is the most dangerous score in soccer, so would 3-1 be just as dangerous (ignoring the sport change)?

    Worth restating... on January 14, coming off a 7-2 loss to Pittsburgh, Sports Club Stats gave #MnWild a 5.5% chance of making the playoffs.
