Dallas Stars Go Rocky Balboa on the Minnesota Wild for Overtime Comeback: Six Easy Tweets

If you had stopped watching this game in the first period, nobody would blame you. The Dallas Stars looked out of sync, yet again, amassing several costly turnovers that turned into goals. In the meantime, the Wild did their best skate and pray impression; content with a lead, and willing to spend their time thanking the hockey gods for it instead of playing actual hockey.

If you detect an Eakin's worth of acrimony in my writing, it's because the Minnesota Wild can be incredibly hard to watch. So yes, the comeback felt spiritually fitting.

And not just because the Wild shut Dallas out of the outdoor game.
