The Minnesota Wild, as you know, eliminated the Blues from post-season play yesterday, winning 4-1 at the Xcel Energy Center, and thus moving on to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
This is a pretty significant feat- one that I thought was very unlikely for the Wild to pull off. Not just because the Blues are deep. Not just because they were arguably the best team in the Western Conference. But because I truly believed that St. Louis was the worst matchup possible for the Minnesota Wild.
Which they were.
