Friday night
all the Wild needed was a win in home against Edmonton who is out of playoff
contention. The game was not part of my local cable once again which is frustrating.
The way the
game went as I listened to on the radio I am glad I did not have to watch that embarrassing
performance. I love the team but even I had tough time stomaching the score
after score on few shots on goal. The fans booing I could hear through the
radio.
Ok, Friday
is over and now a win or potentially go home depending on how Columbus does against
Nashville is up for the Wild. The whole 48 game season comes down to 1 game.
A road game against
Colorado who is not a playoff contender like Edmonton is next up. A back to
back game, except this time on the road against Colorado Avalanche, who has
nothing to play for except playing a spoiler role and pride. How will the Wild
perform?
This is why
I am such a passionate Minnesota fan because I am patient and hope for results
like the Wild gave me in Saturday’s win.
It was a
game like I expected with pressure on the Wild. Goalie Niklas Backstrom had a
lousy night Friday at home but responded well especially in the 3rd
period Saturday in the biggest win in the last 5 seasons.
The last 1:39
of the game was the longest time as a fan that I could take. Colorado pulls their
goalie and all I could do is hope. Each time the Wild cleared the zone I knew
precious seconds would tick off. Every time Colorado would break through I held
my breath. The seconds were ticking off 5, 4,3,2,1 0000000. Game over. Wild in
the playoffs for the first time in 5 years.
