The Minnesota Wild have been a mostly middling team that's successfully made the post-season in each of the past four seasons. However, the ups and downs in each season has caused some fans to get motion sickness worse than riding on the Cork Screw rollercoaster at Valleyfair. With extended losing streaks in the midst of seasons, the Wild would usually make a late charge into the playoffs and squeak in as a Wild Card team.
Being a wild card team in the Central Division isn't all bad, as the Central is stacked with a number of good teams.
