Here we are, Wilderness... a place we didn’t think we’d see after Games 3 and 4, and maybe even after Game 5. A place where the Wild have had historical success but fans might still be biting their nails or watching the game through the fingers in front of worried faces. A place where the momentum of Game 6 could spur the Wild to a strong start, or be dragged to a halt with a single mistake or another questionable call by the referees.
Welcome, Wilderness, to Game 7. There’s nothing like it in sports.
Expect the same lines and lineup for the Minnesota Wild as they had in Game 6.
