The Minnesota Wild have held a reputation, for almost decades now, of being a very good defensive team that depends on their players to be responsible in their own end and will give more opportunity to a strong defensive player than anyone that only pays attention to scoring.
That is why we are just baffled as to why this team is suddenly just a completely disaster when it comes to trying to not let the other team score goals. After their overtime loss to the Boston Bruins on Saturday afternoon, they have given up a league-leading 19 goals after just five hockey games.
