There is a saying that "life is hard." It may be a saying that is used far too loosely in our society as people say that when they can't get cellular phone reception while others use that describe rather simply a loved-one's struggle with a terminal disease. Obviously, the latter is far more worthy of that phrase and if you've ever lost anyone to any sort of terminal disease like cancer you have an idea of just how hard life can be. Some people might use such a phrase to talk about the difficulties someone faces if they're unemployed and trying to raise a family. No doubt its tough to tell your kids "sorry I can't" during the holiday season. For others, when they say life is hard they may be trying to comfort someone that is going through a break up in a relationship. Depending on how deep the feelings are for that person, or the extenuated circumstances of that break up it can be very difficult to deal with emotionally. In fact, it may be extremely difficult to move on and the feelings of loss and pain can be quite stressful. Speaking of relationships, I wonder as a whole where the Wild's relationship is with its fans. It certainly isn't on real good terms at this point. Not quite to the point where most of them (the fans) are seeing other people (teams) but certainly they're unhappy with what they've been receiving in this relationship at this point in the 2010-11 season.

Would it be described as "being short with one another", "disatisfied", "feeling unappreciated" perhaps? No I am not going to recommend Cialis or Viagra for the Wild (besides the Wild can't afford it), but they need to have some sort of shakeup if things don't improve soon. No matter what, losing 5 of their last 6 and currently mired in a 4-game losing streak isn't helping the relationship any. If the Wild were a significant other they may be sleeping on the couch at this point. So will Minnesota bring flowers (wins) for the fans and start the healing process or will they stay in the relationship doghouse against Dallas, who has won their last 5 games.
