Last night, the Wild
In all non-caustic seriousness, the Wild got fucked six ways from Sunday. The reffing was abysmal for both sides tonight (albeit one side more than the other), even by your typical Wild home game standards. Although the Ryan Suter turnover that led to a Cody McLeod goal was "a damn shame", it's hard to blame this loss on the Wild. Just because you didn't play a perfect game in a one goal game in the playoffs doesn't mean that you don't deserve the win. Or that getting absolutely screwed over by the refs in a way that results in a goal against in said one-goal game is totally on you because you could only manage a one goal lead in the playoffs.
Seriously, fuck you Avs fans (who follow said philosophy).
As someone who got home just in time for the 3rd period, here are my takeaways:
