Wilderness Walk: Paradoxical Feelings

The Minnesota Wild fell to the St. Louis Blues during overtime in Game 1 of their playoff series despite controlling play for the vast majority of the game and shelling Jake Allen with 52 shots on goal. Last I saw, the Wild held a 15-5 advantage in scoring chances too. Devan Dubnyk played well, posting a .923 save percentage and neither goal was really on him. For a detailed summary of the game, take a look at Joe Bouley’s write up.

For me, I am simultaneously encouraged and discouraged by last night’s game.
