Wild falls 3-0 to Sharks, and falls into the playoff picture

Playing "right way." I'm not even sure what that means anymore. Mike Yeo used to say that phrase almost ad nauseum. The players all talk the talk, but there's a certain saying from the Michael Bay film "The Rock" that comes to mind. Or if you want to go more PG, a saying from Yoda in "The Empire Strikes Back:" "Do or do not, there is no try." Basically, this team all season long has known what it should do, has talked a big game, has spoken about being frustrated and disappointed, but until the team just goes out an executes like it should - like it can with the talent level of this team - there is no reason for the team to clinch a playoff berth as the 2nd wild card spot on a three game losing skid.

All-in-all, the Wild return to the post-season, and the Colorado Avalanche again has to hit the course early. The Wild have at least four more games, including two home games at Xcel Energy Center.
