Who had any doubts? Sure wasn't me! I always have faith in my team!......OK, maybe I lost a little faith but hey we were not looking good, up until last night that is! The wild took down the extremely good Kings in a 2-1 tilt last night! This was our biggest game of the year hands down! The Playoffs are in reach yet we couldn't seem to finish the season and move into the postseason! Our dream team looked like they could not do it despite all of our talent! Critics and fans were buzzing, but the Wild silenced all that last night! We came out to a first period lead when Parise set up Coyle for a beautiful top shelf goal! No less than 16 seconds later, Clutterbuck streaked up the left boards and sniped a puck top shelf to give the wild a 2 goal lead. However our fortune took a turn for the worst when Dustin Brown, the LA Kings captain threw his elbow into Jason Pominville's head. He went down hard and did not return to the game! It looks to me like a possible concussion but we will most likely find out more today! The Refs missed the blatant call which I am sure will be followed up on with them (JK the NHL refs can do no wrong in the league's eyes) Brown has a hearing later today to discuss the hit, I do not foresee him playing tonight! I say kick him out of the league, but im slightly biased! The Kings scored the only goal in the second period when Jeff Carter sent a snap shot past Niklas Backstrom. The wild still held the lead for the rest of the game and Backstrom came up huge when he robbed Slava Voynov with 11 seconds left! The wild went on to win 2-1! All we need to do is win one of our last two games and we clinch our playoff spot! We have all been deprived of the playoffs since 2008! Be sure to watch Friday where we have the chance to clinch!!!! We can almost see the promised land!
