Ok Wild, the joke is over. Time to come out from your hiding place! This isn’t fun anymore.
This no longer looks like a team that can be considered tops in the NHL. Sure, that’s where they are based on equity, but the last ten games haven’t been anything like the team we saw power through tough stretches of the schedule and avoid the historical swoon months. With a 4-6 record over the last ten, it was the wrong time to face a Washington Capitals team that were coming off a four game losing streak and players’ only meeting to right the ship.
