My goodness, how quickly things can change during the course of an NHL season. If the Wild had found a way to lose to the Montreal Canadiens—who played terribly in front of their star goaltender, while their star goaltender was incidentally playing even worse than the defensemen and forwards—then tonight’s game would feel like a last chance to save face on a disastrous homestand. Instead, the Wild found the back of the net early and often behind the leakiest version of Carey Price the world has ever seen, and despite some sloppy play late in the game, Minnesota really was never in any jeopardy of failing to earn two points.
Good or bad homestand? The Wild answers that question tonight against Chicago
