Break out your measuring sticks! You know why? Because this is a total measuring stick game for the Wild, with the two-time defending Cup champs in town... Who doesn’t love a good measuring stick game?
After a very passive effort against Vancouver on Tuesday, in which the Wild seemed to be waiting for something to happen all night, Bruce Boudreau apparently lit a fire under the backsides of his players on Thursday. The boys in green came out flying against the Islanders, registering the first ten shots of the game, potting three goals in the first ten minutes, and never allowing the Brooklynites to get within one goal.
