Learning the Blues: Special teams might hurt

Welcome to “Learning the Blues,” where we at Hockey Wilderness are going to go position-by-position to preview the upcoming first-round matchup between our Minnesota Wild and the St. Louis Blues.

We use clichés for a reason. And as annoying one game at a time, or goaltending can be the difference, or defense wins championships, or other similar statements are, something that truly hits home when talking about this first-round matchup is whichever team gets more success on their special teams, will win the series.
