The Minnesota Wild’s regular season starts today and that means beginning an 82-game-long journey to hopefully being one of the top seeds heading into the playoffs and just begging them to win at least one playoff series.
Last season marked the seventh consecutive season where the Wild either didn’t make the playoffs or got booted out in the first round. Not a whole lot of success to grab onto there, but with a new season there is an unbridled sense of optimism, specifically because we know this team is good. And that knowledge can also be somewhat of a curse that turns into frustration because of the lack of glory this roster has been able to see.
