WIld vs. Hawks

Yep, that top line has been getting destroyed. Koivu can not win a face off, and is spent 8 minutes in the box last game. We need some puck control down low out of them. Cullen's line just keep doing what they are doing, they have been fun to watch.

If they play the rest of the game like they did the last 5 minutes of period 1, they could win.

Was that the Vikings patented prevent defense?

Koivu is overpaid. Show just a glimmer of fire.

Heasding in to OT Wild have to dig deep now for a win. Great playoff hockey though!

Clutterbuck sure did his best Vikings impersonation. That was one of the dumbest things i've ever seen. He just tries to tackle Toews instead of getting of for a change they were behind on in the first place? Just stupid.

They played for 54 minutes and beat the beast. Could get interesting now. Still no rough stuff. Gotta pop Kane!

Kind of scary we play a great game and it still goes to OT but woo hoo we WON!!! Can't wait for Tuesday.

I understand playing a bit more D in the last few minutes but they went away from what got them the lead and played D for close to half the 3rd period. It was just a matter of time before the Blackhawks would score as we left them im our end way too much.

Nice that Zucker got rewarded with the early OT goal. He's been a nice surprise in this series. I won't comment on how we let them back into the game late though.

Pominville making any progress yet? I feel like we need more depth to take this thing deeper.

Cullens line is hot. Speed on the forecheck, attacking and cycling the puck. Great effort by that line. The D still needs help. Harding is playing better then I expected. I hope he can't keep it going and wins this series for everything he has been going through.

Top line stepped up, Cullen's line continued to play good and for the most part the D played good. I still cringe every time I see the Falk-Gilbert pairing out there.

Bouchard has been playing great in these playoffs. He has looked like his old self lately.

I think he felt ok and skated in one practice and the next morning the C symptoms were back so I don't know that we will see him any time soon. Maybe a game 6 or 7 if we make it that far.

Yea the Cullen line makes running the 1-2-2 look perfect. Two men on the puck one high to pinch the strong or weak side, or in Zuckers case making himself available after reading the play and pounding that puck in for the win!

There's nothing wrong with mikko or his line they have done a great job keeping Chicagoan snippets at bay! They have been running the 2-1-2 for good reasons!

I'm not sure if he's slighly injured but he does seem just a bit off. Now if he keeps winning key face-offs like he has that in itself is priceless!

12 hours til game time!!!!!

Wild called up Dumba and forward Carson Mcmillan.

This time of year all the teams call up the youngsters since they are done with AHL. It doesn't mean they are playing, but they do practice with the guys and get a taste of it.

I think Dumba is just there for the experience, no way he plays in the playoffs against the Hawks. I think he will be good for us some day but he needs more time.

Have to take this game, going back to Chicago down 3-1 is not an option!

Sounds like Pominville practiced yesterday, me think if he feels good today he might get back in there.

Also as expected Suter is a finalist for the Norris, Brodin didn't get the nod for the Calder but he is going to be a stud for us for a long long time.

If Backs suits up, I'm assuming that Yeo sticks with Harding, correct? I would not be a fan of throwing a guy out there for game 4 that hasn't played for a week +. Pivotal game tonight!

Harding has been playing VERY good, but you would almost have to think in the back of your mind is it going to wear him down. He is on the meds for MS and hardly played at all this season.

Personally you have to ride the hot hand until something changes with his game.

Hard to see them not playing Harding at this point unless he has a bad game.

But the team isn't. They are getting playoff experience though. Now Harding is out.

Yea that second goal completely took the air out of them. Hopefully they can come out with some energy in the 3rd and make it a game.

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
