Reeling Minnesota Wild need to turn it around, help from others to make playoffs
Good Morning, Wild Nation.
Your team sucks as bad as the weather outside (at least in the Twin Cities, anyways.) A three-game homestand, which should have yielded at least four points (read the last post, folks), came within 3:15 of not producing any points at all. Without Jason Pominville's late third-period, power play rebound goal, the Wild would currently be 0-fer April at home.
As it is, with two weeks, and seven games left in their season, the Wild need help -- big-time, somebody-else-has-to-beat-your-rival, high-school-grade help --in order to even make the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Not only do the Wild have to sweep the last seven games, but they need the following to happen, just this coming week:
Today: Chicago needs to win at St. Louis (on NBC)
Nashville needs to beat Detroit
Monday: Wild needs to win at Calgary
Chicago needs to beat Dallas
San Jose needs to win at Phoenix
Tuesday: Wild needs to win at Edmonton
Vancouver at St. Louis cannot go to Overtime/Shootout
Wednesday: Calgary needs to beat Detroit
Anaheim needs to beat Columbus
Thursday: Wild needs to win at San Jose
Phoenix needs to win at St. Louis
Vancouver at Dallas cannot go to OT/SO
Columbus at LA Kings cannot go to OT/SO
Friday: Dallas at St. Louis cannot go to OT/SO
Saturday: Chicago needs to beat Phoenix
Detroit at Vancouver cannot go to OT/SO
Sunday April 21: Wild, at home, needs to beat Calgary (again)
Dallas at LA Kings cannot go to OT/SO
Columbus at San Jose cannot go to OT/SO
Colorado needs to beat St. Louis
So, dear reader, you can see the kind of crater that the Wild have dug for themselves. The biggest thing, however, is that the Wild must sweep the week. It's that simple. Keep your eyes on the prize, and the rest should take care of itself.
Hopefully.
