Eriksson Ek trio is an unstoppable force

We found out last night what happens when an unstoppable force meets a fairly movable object.

In Game 3 against the St. Louis Blues, the Minnesota Wild trio of Joel Eriksson Ek, Jordan Greenway, and Marcus Foligno, could not do one thing wrong. From the drop of the puck they were pushing hard against their opposition, and never letting up.

We should be used to this by now, but this forward line is just playing the exactly style of hockey that makes every appreciator of grinding out a goal all gooey-eyed. It might not be the prettiest, it will certainly not get on any national highlight reel, and it might not even end up with goals being scored; but they are completely content with punishing whichever team they are facing and it just so happens that the Blues cratered at just the thought of the three of them barreling down the ice towards them.
