By Aaron Holm -
Your Minnesota Wild are in a familiar spot. Down 2-1 in a series and just looking to maintain momentum into game 4 tonight. I'm going to let you in on a little secret sports fans. We've seen this tale told before.
It's scary just how familiar this territory is for the Wild faithful. With their past two playoff series ending in the first round, Wild fans have learned to be cautiously optimistic early in the second season after a big win. I've even started to adapt to a straight cautious approach with this team. They have to make a statement tonight, lest they want to return to Winnipeg down 3-1 in a series, again.
We were all reminded just what a cesspool of opinion the internet can be sometimes, and I'm looking at you people who think Marcus Foligno intentionally injured Tyler Myers of the Jets in Game 3. Foligno, known for his elite skating ability, zen like balance, and fists of solid gold, of course had this grand plot to go out there and really stick it to his off-ice buddy Myers. Makes perfect sense.
Game 4 is tonight at the X. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 PM CST. But for now, enjoy some Kung-Fu

LOL!!! Your outrage is duly noted, and you're completely wrong.
