Hockey is weird and the Hurricanes 5-4 win over Wild proves it

Where to start?

The Carolina Hurricanes beat the Wild in St. Paul by the score of 5-4 in overtime. If you just saw that score on the scroll of the bottom TV on NHL Network, you’d think it was a good game. However, that’s leaving out the absurdity of this game in favor of brevity.

For the “Too Long; Didn’t Read” crowd, Minnesota’s Devan Dubnyk made 52 saves as the Wild were heavily out-shot 2:1, had nine shots through 40 minutes, and still had a chance to win the game both in regulation and in overtime.
