As soon as you step outside, the air was different. A sense of hope with a sliver of optimism as every fan can imagine a final record after the 56 regular season games are completed. For the Minnesota Wild, this was the first of many games without much expectations. Nothing really on the line, just some individual performances to hope for and overall growth to achieve.
Unless the Wild win an overtime thriller and everything is amazing and I never want this feeling to go away. Kirill Kaprizov, the Russian Savior, has come down from the fifth round to bless us with his magical touch.
