By Darren Brown -
My goodness.
With about five minutes left in Minnesota’s game last night against the worst team in the league, I said to Mrs. Pants, “If we cough up this f***ing game, it will be more embarrassing than all of the road a**-whippings we’ve endured during this weird f***ing season.”
Sure enough, the Wild choked away a three-goal lead to the worst team in the NHL.
Two things:
1.) I apparently curse a lot when watching the Wild.
2.) WHAT THE F***?!?
Absolutely embarrassing. Absolutely inexcusable to not get both points in that game.
Wes Walz fortunately saved the night for me by using the line, “The Coyotes have one foot on a banana and one foot in the coffin.” I have no idea what that means, but it made me giggle for about five minutes.
It should also be mentioned that the Wild made a trade yesterday, sending Mario Lucia and Christoph Bertschy to the Devils for defenseman Viktor Loov. Loov has played four NHL games in his career. Michael Russo pontificated on Twitter yesterday that it is more of a move to clear a contract for the eventual signing of Jordan Greenway, but we’ll see what happens here.
Metallica is taking us through today’s Walk to help illustrate how Wild fans are feeling about this team right now.
