There have been a lot of times I’ve had to stop myself from opening with “what the hell did I just watch,” because I thought I’d opened with it too many times before already.
But Monday night’s game, a 7-4 win over the Minnesota Wild, was maybe the first time this year that my motivation for wanting to ask that question was not how unwatchably bad the game had been. This game was not a waste of time. No, on this particular night, the game was just, well, wild.
Eleven total goals. Replays for offside and goaltender interference.
