Were the Minnesota Wild just teasing us this whole time? A big sike-out leading to the eventual brotherly landing blow on your shoulder? Well it sure seems that way.
Of course, teams go through ebbs and flows the entire regular season, but with the Wild at their no-doubt lowest point this year, losing eight of their previous 10 games heading into Tuesday’s matchup against the New York Rangers, everything felt real. It felt that there was finally an end to the magic that this team was able to pull off — the swaying percentages were finally returning back to normal and we will have to revert to the good-not-great Minnesota team.
