The series will look like one in which St. Louis dominated en route to a five game series victory. However this very easily could have gone the Wild’s way. Goalie Jake Allen played himself one heck of a series, But you can’t help but get the feeling the Minnesota Wild missed out on plenty of opportunities to win games.
While there were Wild players such as Charlie Coyle and Zach Parise who played well, too many top contributors were snake bitten. For specific examples, look no further than Parise’s stick preventing a goal or Staal’s wraparound left on the post.
