If yesterday was the “denial” stage of the five stages of grief, today led directly into the anger stage. Chuck Fletcher held his annual press conference after the Wild were summarily bounced by the St. Louis Blues. And let’s just say, Chuck Fletcher didn’t validate my anger and disappointment.
I was looking for a, “This aggression will not stand, man!” Instead, we’re left with, “Hmm, he seems like a nice guy,” even though that guy was trying to put our car parts factory out of business.
Fletcher opened by thanking the turnout from the fans that showed up in record numbers, and blew the TV ratings numbers straight out of the water during a rather successful regular season.
