The Minnesota Wild are currently 8th best in the league and 3rd in the conference. Their current record is 14-7-1 which to me is decent. I still think they should be in the top 5 bracket of teams in the NHL, considering the Xcel Energy Center has over 300 consecutive sellout games. Someone is getting to much money(Wild Owner), the fans are getting ripped off, they deserve more than a 14-7-1 record. I definitely think that the Wild will emerge out of this slump that they're in. During the last 5 straight home game in a row the Wild only managed to win two of them. Although the Wild played the Nashville Preditors last night they did pullout a 6-2 blowout with backup goalie Josh Harding in for Nicklas Backstrom. The Wild host the Colorado Avalanche at the Xcel tomorrow. The Avalanche are currently 21st in the league and 12th the conference. The Wild will hopefully come out with a win tomorrow. Thinking back to the previous games and previous seasons against the Avalanche, the Wild have always had trouble pulling out a win, they always work hard and grind goals. Then the Avalanche come back on a break away and score. I hope the Wild win tomorrow night, and I have a feeling they will. The game tomorrow is definitley going to be a rough one, I think the Wild and the Avalanche are rivals. After last seasons last game of the regular season Gaborik and Laperriere dropped the gloves, then the two teams played each other in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Avalanche one the series.
