“We have a tough Game 2. Do we want it? Yeah. But it’s going to be a tough challenge. I’ve been in their room. I know they’re going to make some changes, look at video and do some things. I know what the mentality is and what the preparation’s going to be. It’s going to be right up there. They’re very focused. We need to be able to match it if not be better. They’re going to respond. We just need to stay with our gameplan.”


I talked to Chris Stewart and Niederreiter about Steve Ott, who was doing his best to get under the Wild’s skin last night. That’s Steve Ott. Just YouTube Steve Ott and Josh Harding to refresh your memory of his act.
But Stewart, Niederreiter and Jason Zucker (Ott grabbed hold of his collarbone real obviously) all ignored him, which could have the opposite effect, they said. Ignore him, smile and he and the Blues get more frustrated. Stewart said though don’t think for a second he won’t take an opportunity to return the favor at some point in this series after getting drilled by Ott yesterday.

I hope Stewie keeps thinking about Ott. Mission accomplished.

If I have to watch that fucking slug Stewart celebrate a series victory over the Blues at some point over the next week or so, I might seriously be DONE as a Blues fan! They can't let that happen.

Haha. Easier said than done fellas. Let's see how long they can "ignore" Reaves and Ott.

Stewart said he is IGNORING Ott, not thinking about him!

And if Reaves or Ott force themselves on the Wild and take a dumb penalty which team will that help?

He first has to think about him, before he can ignore him
