The cliche of, “wait ’til next year” often rings hollow in the sports world. However, it is one that carries some truth if you are a Minnesota Wild fan.
Yes, the team’s postseason run came to an end again in the first round on Friday but the outlook seems bright for the franchise overall. Minnesota rallied from a 3-1 deficit against Vegas and were tied 2-2 in Game 7 before the Golden Knights scored four answered goals to put the series away.
