The Minnesota Wild started out slow once again last night. They entered the game in the 2nd Wild card spot and on a 5 game win streak. The Vancouver Canucks were on a 3 game losing streak. Sounds like the perfect combination to start the longest road trip in Minnesota Wild history, right? Wrong. The Wild came out flat footed and looked like a completely different team than we have seen over the course of the past 5 games. To quote the great Wes Walz, “When you’re on the road, you gotta play closer to perfect then the Wild did tonight”.
