Minnesota Wild vs. Chicago Blackhawks: Game Recap

For the enemy perspective, please visit the good people of Second City Hockey

Games against the Blackhawks are always a treat. Sure, they've owned the Wild lately, but the Wild and Hawks always find a way to make their matchups exciting. Of course right now, we would take the most boring games ever if they could give us wins. Turns out tonight's game wasn't all that exciting, nor was it a win. It was actually an eerily uneventful game.

Yeo was P-I-S-S-E-D after the game, and why wouldn't he be? We're all mad about seeing this team fail so miserably all of a sudden. What their excuse? Can't be injuries, they were 1st in two categories at one point this season: Points and number of players dressed for at least one game... Granted, the Koivu injury is basically what started this tailspin, but even though he's the heart and soul of the team, there is absolutely no reason for the Wild to become a kid without his blanket whenever Koivu's gone.

In all seriousness, not many of us expected a win, but we sure expected better than this. I'm at a loss for words, really.

A few facts:

- Here's a startling tweet from Russo: ''#mnwild 0-7-1 in last 8 on road (7 goals). 7 of next 9 on road, including next 3. At one time was leagues best road team.''
