I didn't watch tonight, so take this with a grain of salt. The Wild finished the North American leg of the preseason 0-6. Sure, it looks bad, but it's the preseason right? Well, since they pretty much showed few signs of progress, I'd say it's not looking good for the hometown team. Add in the fact that they can no longer say they're learning a new system, and it gets worse.
This has been a painful preseason. Not a "take your lumps and move on" kinda painful, but a real, honest, hard-to-watch, leaving you wondering about the season to come and how hot the seat under Todd Richards' butt, maybe looking at who the top few picks in the NHL draft will be next summer in St. Paul kinda painful.
It's ugly, but the season starts anew from Helsinki. Godspeed your travels Wild.
