By Aaron Holm -
I'm a pretty reasonable fellow I think. I don't expect much, and I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect that if you gain the lead late in the 3rd, you hold onto it. Instead we get gross Dustin Brown tying things up late and Jeff Carter taking home the overtime winner.
And the Wild were having a pretty decent game too. Gave up a couple goals but battled back and that's what playoff teams have to do. Another thing playoff teams do, or should do at least is close. In the regular season you get a reward for losing in OT. You'll receive no such consideration for an overtime loss in the second season.
Oh, and happy first day of Spring everyone.
