The Wild need to be careful, or they're going to be known as a team-full of spoilers. On second thought, maybe that's a good thing. Last season, the Colorado Avalanche Varlamov-d their way into a division championship, only to be bounced out of the first round by the Wild Card Wild. This year the St. Louis Blues found their way into the championship seed... and are in danger of being bounced out of the first round by the Wild Card Wild.
The Avalanche last season was a case of probabilities; the team was riding unsustainable goaltending and amazing shooting by their forwards, and that came crashing down in the playoffs and this season.
