By Emilie Wiener -
The third period was a battle from start to finish, with both teams have sustained pressure. The Wild had the clear lead in goal attempts until the very end of the period, but nether team had the gas to get this done in regulation. For the first time in this series (after like million OTs in Colorado), the game was heading to overtime.
The feel of the room sucks, to be blunt. The team is frustrated, mostly because this was absolutely a game they could have won. But the great news is that they can build of this, and come back next year with just as much fire.
We'll touch on some things the Wild will be looking at over the next few weeks. I'll say my goodbye to the site, and the changeover with Joe and Tony will be complete. We'll have team grades and all those other things you guys have come to love at the end of the season.
I'll end with this though for the great Wild fans out there to chew on. Two years ago, the Wild finished 23rd in the NHL. Today, they outlasted all but 6 teams. That's a hell of a far way to come in two years.
