If we were to draw up a Game 1 victory entering Wednesday night’s contest in Winnipeg, it probably would have looked very similar to what actually occurred on the ice. Minnesota weathered the storm early, got exceptional goaltending, played solid team defense, and as NBC’s Gord Miller pointed out, successfully “planted the seeds of doubt” in the brains of the Jets players and their rowdy Canadian faithful. Heck, the Wild probably even made the fans of our hated neighbors to the north a bit nervous when Zach Parise scored the go-ahead goal off of a beautiful world-class feed from Mikael Granlund.
