If you felt a bit unsettled after the Wild’s 5-4 victory in Buffalo on Wednesday, don’t worry, Wilderness… you’re not alone. That discomfort in the pit of your stomach is probably not a negative gastric reaction to the Thanksgiving feast that you hopefully enjoyed yesterday, nor disappointment over failing to make it to the mall for the hottest deals in town this morning. Instead, it’s probably just the general sense of not really knowing what to make of Minnesota’s sloppy but still victorious effort in Upstate New York.
The reason you’re feeling a little off is because the Wild got a win, but it just didn’t play that well, save for a couple of individual forwards (Mikael Granlund and Nino Niederreiter are both on fire right now).
