The Minnesota Wild were up north facing the Vancouver Canucks for the first time since they left the COVID bubble with their tail in between their legs seemingly forever ago. Well, things are different now and both teams have transformed their roster to wind up essentially exactly where they were when they faced each other. Wild are still a quasi playoff lock with not much success beyond that first round and the Canucks, well, are just there in a bad division.
Luckily for the Wild, they can still dominate the shit out of an opponent and have them succumb to the instant pressure and hand over the two points.
