Minnesota Wild vs Detroit Red Wings: Game Recap

For Red Wings perspective, please visit Winging It In Motown

I should probably offer a disclaimer right off the top. I did not see the game, but I feel like I did with the number of tweets, texts and emails. Yes, Colie... emails.

By all accounts, it was another typical Wild game. Strong in the first, disappearing act in the second, missing for the first part of the third, strong finish. Furthering the storyline, the Wild were out shot 18-3 in the second and 44-27 overall. While they pulled out another victory, it defies logic to think they can continue to play in this manner and win games. There has to be a point where the opposition is going to put the normal percentage of these shots in, and the losses will come.

For tonight, it was enough to win, and wins are what matters the most. It creates another three game winning streak with a chance to go to four against the Rangers tomorrow night. As PR guru Ryan Stanzel pointed out, the win puts them within four points of the Western Conference lead. Could you imagine that? What if the Wild led the West while being out shot by 950% every night?

The mind boggles.
