The regular season is done now, and next week we're gearing up for a whole new sort of pain as the Wild face the Dallas Stars in the first round of the playoffs. I personally cannot wait, because the sooner it starts the sooner it will be over. Then it will be summer, and I can just think about the Lynx, and be happy.
I kept on trying to think of something else to say but every idea was mean or bad or tiring. So let's leave it like this. The regular season is over, and the world is going to keep going, and the playoffs are going to start, and the future is different than the past, and anything is possible, and I'm going to have to mute a thousand Stars fans on twitter as I struggle to remember that I signed myself up whatever sort of pain comes next.
