If you could somehow forget about the fact that Minnesota lost on Wednesday, you’d feel really really good about the team’s chances in this series. As was said a lot (by me), the Wild was clearly building up its game for the playoffs in the final week of the regular season, and although it had a really hard time scoring on Wednesday, it looked like a team on top of its game, and one to be reckoned with. If it gets the same result tonight, then it may be time to get a little negative, but for now, we should accept Game 1 as an anomaly and hope for the best in Game 2. If you’re the better team, you’re going to win nine times out of ten, so... uhh... hey, Wild... let’s just keep on being the better team, because if you’ve already been the better team and lost once, then it’s not going to happen again for nine more games. That’s science.
It was business as usual for the club yesterday, which was talking like it was happy with its last performance and deserved better (it did). If it’s the better team again tonight, the Wild will get what it deserves!
