Let’s just turn the page on what happened Friday night for the Wild. A 7-2 loss against the Oilers, and the Wild are now tied for 9th in the Western Conference. The Wild were once 11-4-2 and things were looking up. Could this be the year the Wild get out of the first round of the playoffs? Oh my wouldn’t that be cool. However, times have changed. The Wild are now 15-12-2, and need something to change fast.
