Saturday night hurt. After dancing the macarena, having a few brews, and enjoying all the amenities a Wichita, Kansas wedding had to offer, I was riding high. I settled into my Air BnB to watch a little Iowa Wild action on a shoddy WiFi connection with the good guys nursing a 2-1 lead; just their second lead going into the third period all season.
It was a back and forth affair that ended in a 5-4 overtime loss and a one point weekend. After the loss, Iowa finds themselves looking up at every Central Division team with the second lowest point total among AHL teams with nine games played, one of three teams without a road win, and the third lowest power play efficiency at 8.
