Rossi for Calder
Remember to thank your local Flower guy.
Did anyone else feel their groin tear when watching fleury make that save
🫡 FLOWER
WHAT A FUN GAME.
FLEURY HAS MULTIPLE GROINS TO STRETCH
I AINT HEAR NO BELL
FLOWER POWER!!
What happened to Gus man 🙁
Hell yeah the turning point in our season is NOW! Rossi, Kap, Flower the boys are back baby!
BOLDY
The Flower is in bloom.
Flower only makes saves when it matters. Prove me wrong.
I missed the first period but I really liked the new lines. Seemed like all of them were working but especially the 1st and 3rd.
Some of ya’ll in the GDT genuinely need to find a therapist. Embarrassing
That Fleury save made me blush
Flower was like nah
FLOWER BABYYYYYYYY 🌷🌸💐🪻🪷🌹🌼🌺🌷🌹🌸🌺🪷🌻💐🪻🌻🪷🌷🌸🌺🌹🌸🌹🌷🌺🪷🪻🌻💐
That was a fun hockey game.
Our MVP was indisputably Jonathan Quick’s ass.
Excluding the first 7 minutes, the Wild absolutely dominated that game. Everyone stepping up. Boldy’s shootout goal lol. Fleury killed in the shootout too.
Flower get credit for the win?
GG y’all deserved that, wish I could be mad about the luck on boldy but if we’re being fair you probably should’ve scored long before then.
we needed that so bad!! super happy they recovered from a bad start and played the rest of the game with a ton of energy and focus
Turns out, we just need to stop taking penalties
#WE ARE SO BACK BABY 🌹🌹🌹
ALSO FUCK THE RAGS, QUICK CAN KISS ALL OUR ASSES
Marc Andre Fleury, Marco Rossi, Matt Boldy, Mats Zuccarello, Kirill Kaprizov, Brock Faber, Ryan Hartman, etc
The slow starts for this team are just flat out unacceptable. They need to have that down by two energy right from the jump.
Thankful for the washed up vet in net. When the bus breaks down, knowing there is HOF greatness ready to steal one is a huge confidence builder for this team.
After all that, it came down to Quick’s ass and Flower’s toe
if we can just play like that every time without going down 3 – 0 in the first place, i have no doubt that this team can really start cooking. it still remains to be seen if we can stop trying to give away W’s in the first period
can’t have a 50% PK when the opposing team only has one PP
Dean, this is why you pull the goalie when they have a bad start.
What a fucking rollercoaster of a game
Took it in a shootout.
Flower was a beauty!
What a fucking game
Bolts fan coming in to say I adore Flower. Those saves he made in the SO were classic Flower saves and he’s so fun to watch when he’s on one.
Can’t believe we did it, and against a team like the Rangers. And here I was looking for a low-stress low-expectation season…
Also, as a Fleury hater, currently in shambles rn
For a man of Fleury’s age to stretch like that twice is awful impressive.
What were the lines for our team tonight?
Rossi is playing with such confidence.
Flower’s poke check on Gustafsson in OT was the good version of his aggressive plays. Love when he goes for it in a shootout too but too bad the bread man got the second wack
Finally played like we did last year
[Recap: NYR @ MIN](https://players.brightcove.net/6415718365001/EXtG1xJ7H_default/index.html?videoId=6340534785112)
Never tell us the odds
That 3.5 mins of keep away in the 3rd was brilliant and exciting af. The roof would have came off if they scored then but the crowd still got a satisfying finish
How many is Fleury away from the record now?
In honor of a vintage Fleury performance, I decided to send my mom some “just because” flowers.
I said this in the GDT but Maroon is such a nice surprise. IDK if he’s better this year than the past few, but he’s really brought more offensively than I expected. The fact he’s even been compared to Reaves is laughable. He’s more like a better, more physical Greenway.
MarCo Ross1
…
Doesn’t work as well as V1Ctor Rask, but it looks like the inevitable breakout is upon us. Here’s hoping.🇦🇹
Should’ve watched this instead of the Iowa State game, im a fuckin moron
I hate to say it but Gus Bus looks like he’s reverted back to what we thought he was when we traded for him.
