Everyone seems to be in agreement on this. The Dive for Top Five can wait for a day or two. The Wild beating the Canucks is just flat out good for society. Kids are happier, the sun is brighter, and the grass... well, the grass is still brown. It's still March. Give it time, and it will be greener because the Canucks lost.

Revel in it, Wild fans. Your favorite team ruined the night of an entire fan base. That doesn't happen everyday. They get the Hawks next, their "real" rival. Which is all well and good for them. The loss to a run down team they should have steam rolled is going to sting for awhile. Enjoy that feeling.

Go Hawks.
