The Minnesota Wild’s postseason ended earlier than expected tonight as the team lost game six to the Colorado Rockies, handing them the series and sending the Wild packing back home sooner than their regular-season results seemed to indicate might happen.
The Wild applied some anti wrinkle cream this season and became a bit younger in some areas, a bit more experienced in others, and a whole lot more physical. They had a higher seed than Colorado and played a better season; but the Avalanch had their number.
It’s a disappointing result a year after the Wild were bounced in the first round by Anaheim, a loss that was expected, and that resulted in the team working so hard in the off-season to put together a more playoff-calibur squad.
