By Joe -
Pretty tough goings on around here after the Wild had such lofty expectations. The best hope for Minnesota is to play the game like they played the other night against Chicago. The Wild had controlled play for most of the game and the goaltending let them down. I'm getting to the point where I think they just need to keep playing that high possession game and just hope that their goalie is on that night. Basically force the netminders to figure it out. If they lose because the goaltending was poor, but they dominated possession, out-shot the opponent, and limited the shots against, then so be it. At least it was an entertaining game, rather than this lifeless, sloppy, out-of-position, trying to protect the goalie, kind of play that started this downward spiral.
But for now, we Walk.
