Home… sweet… HOME!
Man, you wanna feel old? The last time the Wild played at Xcel Energy Center, people were reminding you to vote in the upcoming election, and Joe Mauer was still an active baseball player. But relief for our road-weary warriors finally comes tonight, as for the first time since October 27th, the Wild will play a game on their own home ice, with the defending Stanley Cup champions rolling into town.
It’s been quite the run for Minnesota, which won five consecutive games, then went away and promptly put out a dud of an effort in Vancouver to make us all think that perhaps the team was ready to regress.
