The Minnesota Wild didn’t just lose to the Winnipeg Jets; they were summarily beaten to a pulp. Prior to the series, I suggested the Jets would be too much for the Wild and win in 5 games. Let’s just say I’m not at all happy that my prediction came true. Minnesota, wasn’t allowed to do anything on the ice in every game aside from a few minutes in the second period of Game 3. Game 5 may have been a slaughter, but the series wasn’t really close.
It’s astonishing to see the Wild get beaten so handily at 5-on-5.
