It was supposed to be the start of a golden age for Minnesota hockey. An end to their years of futility after a surprise playoff run almost ten years earlier. Signing the two best free agents on the market had the area dreaming of the Stanley Cup again.
Sadly, reality rarely works out as planned. The two players that were thought to have taken them over the top haven't had the significant impact they desired. The two have helped to bring the Wild back to the playoffs, but nothing further.
Competing, but not a true contender. This is the woe of the Minnesota Wild, a team locked into two terrible contracts for many more years to come. A team that can't supplement their core with talents to take them over the top. A team that is flirting with the irrelevance that they sought to overcome.
This video's a little different than the usual fare. Just figured I'd change things up a bit. Keep it "fresh".
"Fun" fact: This video slot was originally going to be a video about the Philadelphia Flyers. Winning nine of ten games kinda puts those plans on hold. Only fair.
