Wild vs. Canadiens post-game and more

Wild suffer most lopsided home loss in franchise history as Subban nets hat-trick in 8-1 rout

Written by Derek Felska | 20 March 2011

This is my 73rd post-game report of the year. I keep trying to think of different and unique ways to capture the feelings going into the game from the fans that follow the team as closely as I do. I have little doubt sometimes it appears to be very random or eclectic and that's just fine. Games and seasons are that way, not everything makes perfect sense and events even within a period can appear totally random. Losing in overtime on a foolish whiffed pass after a great team effort to forced a tie does that to you. It leaves you at a loss for words and makes one feel almost ambivalent to covering the next game. In that way you could say my mind is still loss on Brent Burns' turnover and Antoine Vermette's goal. The ending personified the team's season. One of a bad start, then rallying back from deep deficit only to throw it all away in the end. Ever feel like you've said it all? That's sort of where I'm at.

The Wild come into this game having lost their last 5 games, and now the playoffs are a world away. Good riddance, time to end the illusions and just worry about playing good hockey. The Habs are playoff bound but they want every point they can get to get a better match up in the post-season. The Wild now must relish the role of being a spoiler and do their best to take something away from Montreal. Can the Wild end its losing streak with a win this late afternoon over the Canadiens?

What I said in the article really says just about all that I wish to say about this game. It sickens me I wasted two hours of my life watching that game. I have a Houston Aeros report, WCHA Men's hockey run down including their match ups for the NCAA Tournament. So at least there is something to look forward to. Enjoy!
