Oh, you wanted two points?! I’m sorry, I thought you’d be satisfied with one [rolls eyes at needy Wild fans].
After losing the battle with Mike Smith’s glove for most of the night at Xcel Energy Center (and by losing the battle, I mean repeatedly firing the puck directly into his webbing so that he could hold his glove up and make it look like he was making incredible saves), the Wild staged an impressive third-period comeback Tuesday. It finally tied the game when Jared Spurgeon decided to do something that no Wild player had done before him that night—shoot stickside.
