The Minnesota Wild had everything right where they wanted it. 2 quick goals in the first period had the Wild in front, and their shut down defense and strong goaltending held that lead for the better part of 40 minutes.
The wheels fell off late in the game, and a 2-1 Wild lead was quickly changed into a 3-2 Wild deficit and eventually a loss. The late game rally came up short and we are left with another questionable loss.
I’m going to try something new here with you through the preseason, so let me know your thoughts and feedback if this is something you want me to continue into the regular season or if there are ways you think I could change or improve my format.
