Well, that was… ugly.
Watching the Wild this season has been akin to staring at an M.C. Escher painting for three straight months. There are staircases going in every direction, and you just don’t know whether Minnesota will go up, down, left, or right. Heck, you can’t even tell from game to game which direction the team is heading. It’s just… perplexing.
The Wild was dominated in all three zones tonight, as Nathan MacKinnon and the Avalanche controlled every aspect of their 7-2 win, extending their streak to five straight victories.
