The Minnesota Wild started off last season with one of the Franchise’s best ever starts. They continued on to the best season the franchise has ever seen, before putting in what is has become the franchise norm for post-season performance.
Wild faithful through the beginning of the year were clamoring for attention for the team, wondering how they remained so low in the power rankings. And the Wild proved the power-rankers right in the end; the late season swoon and lukewarm postseason run showed that you have to do more than just have a good start and overall season.
