Man, tough loss for the Wild on Saturday, who seemed to have a pretty good handle on the Buffalo Sabres through two periods, but conceded the tying goal with seven minutes left and the winning goal (TO JASON POMINVILLE!!!!!) with 90 seconds left. Despite having the better of the play almost all night and jumping out to a 2-0 lead early, the Wild just couldn’t seem to put the Sabres down, and eventually the lack of finish came back to haunt them.
If we’re looking for a positive spin, though, it may actually be a good thing that Minnesota plays again today.
