Woe is us, Wilderness… Woe is us. How did we get here? Where did we go wrong? To whom did Jake Allen sell his soul? In this journey that had made us believe that this year would be different, which hockey-focused deity did we fail to honor? Woe is us, Wilderness. Woe is us.
So many questions… So few answers.
Minnesota is officially facing an elimination game tonight, just one week after the start of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. That escalated quickly, didn’t it? With visions of a round 2 rematch with the Chicago Blackhawks dancing in our heads, we strolled into this series against the Blues hoping for a continuation of the Wild’s season (well, except for the March part), with Minnesota getting scoring contributions from every corner of the lineup, great defense, and even better goaltending.
