Oh… what a relief it is!
When it’s been a month of disastrous hockey and more than two weeks since you’ve won a single game, despite playing a few in that time that you probably should have won, well… It’s safe to say the feelings in the locker room can get a little tense. But the Wild finally got a BADLY needed victory on Saturday afternoon in Winnipeg against one of the best teams in the league and a Central Division rival, which will surely let some pressure out of the cooker.
We aren’t out of the crappy hockey woods yet, but Saturday was a huge step in the right direction for a Minnesota team that had been wandering aimlessly with seemingly no idea which way to turn.
