It's been 10 years since they made it past the first round and have only done it three times in their 24 year existence. If history is an indicator, they will still implode. They only have a 12.5% chance of showing us the river.

Now that shock has wore off of VGK from Tuesday's loss, they will arrive on Excel Energy Center ice seeking retribution.  Starting a 2-game stand in St. Paul, VGK need to come out of the gate lightning fast, freight train hard to gain the upper hand.  They know they need to overtake Game 3 before the Wild can leverage home ice advantage.  Look for them to also goad Moose and Hartsy at every opportunity to force Wild PK(s), and put us at our weak spots of the game. 

I bet you'll see 15 or more SOG from the visitors in Period 1, in addition to relentless physical play.  If the Wild can manage their tempers, they can retaliate properly with 1 or 2 PPG before game 3 ends.  Otherwise it won't matter the names on the sweaters, it's the same old Wild we've seen before.

This take didn't age well...

Not at all.  Then again, the Knights haven't seemed to be as competitive anymore.  Their entire top line has 0 points after 3 games.  It is rumored that Eichel is playing injured, and the Wild seems to have found ways to neutralize their attack.

will a Wild team that has battled injuries all year long succumb to the grind?

The good news about this is really only Rossi is working his knee back to normal. The 2 most important players are well rested having gone through only about a 1/2 marathon this season. Tires just need to be rotated, not change all 4! 

I am waiting for Ek to be cheap shotted like they did the 1st time around years ago. It took him out of the lineup as well as Brodin. That is when Eichel and Stone would need their series ended!
