UPDATE: Darcy Kuemper will make his NHL debut in net, as Josh Harding is "just a bit off," according to GM Chuck Fletcher. The quotes from Fletcher certainly make it sound like an MS issue, though he did not directly say that. Quotes like "this is not something we were unprepared for," and "we really support him and I give him credit for being honest with us" make it pretty clear this is not a simply flu bug.
The Wild Twitter account says there will be video. We will share that when we have it.

Ah, lucky 13.
Of course, the talking heads are focuses on the fact it was a win. And good for them. Focus on the positive while ignoring the fact that the Wild have scored only one goal in regulation for five straight games. It doesn't take fancy stats to know that a team scoring one goal a game isn't going to win very many of those contests.
Beyond that? Meh.
Truly, watching this team right now, the only team identity they have is that they like to skate around, do as little as possible, and hope the other team shoots itself in the foot.
The team will be saying all the right things, but the truth of the matter is, barring some kind of miracle turnaround for the Wild, the 4-1 score from Thursday would be a moral victory.
At least it isn't likely to be whatever the hell that was last night.
