SPOILER ALERT: The Wild won. But it appears that they're still licking their wounds.
You can also look back to where the Wild were at at this stage of the season last year. 4-5-1. And the Wild weren't dictating the play nearly as much as they are doing now. Not too shabby.
In the meantime, on to the Walk.
