By Tony Abbott -
That sucks.
But if the Wild can manage to get a win against Florida, who is the kind of team that the Wild should be getting wins against, they'll be .500 for the road trip, which wouldn't be a total disaster.
So that'd be OK, I guess.
The game is at 6 tonight, so you should probably watch it. You can read these links if you want in the meantime.
