During Monday’s tight game against the Colorado Avalanche — that eventually was registered as a shootout loss for the Minnesota Wild — there was not a lack of controversy.
The main point of contention was on the goal that handed the Avalanche a 3-2 lead with only a few minutes left in regulation. The Wild ended up equalizing for the second time, in their typical clutch fashion that is now more a characteristic of the team rather than a by-product, but that’s not the point here. It was simply a very weird play that needed a long review.
