There was an aura of attitude after the Minnesota Wild suffered their second consecutive loss to open their 2022-23 season. It wasn’t woe or grief, but with every quote coming from the individual media availabilities, it seemed like players were just pissed off at themselves for allowing 14 goals in those first two games.
That attitude and brashness turned into just head-hanging defeat after the third loss came down on Monday when they faced the Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche. It was a closer game than the others, but still ended up a frustrating defeat as this team still searches for their first win of the season.
