Your Wild are ready for a real good game
Uff da, the air here in Minneapolis is just thick with… well, it’s not quite anxiety, you know? It’s more like that nervous energy you get before a big family gathering where you know Aunt Carol is gonna bring up that thing from last Thanksgiving. People at the Caribou Coffee on Hennepin are talking about the Minnesota Wild, you betcha, but it's not all rainbows and lutefisk. Folks are feeling that familiar pre-playoff twitch, especially with the Colorado Avalanche on deck tonight. It’s always a measuring stick, isn't it? Like, what does this mean for our chances to make a real run?
What I'm hearing, from folks walking through Dinkytown to the morning crowd at the office buildings downtown, is mostly about consistency. Everyone saw that winning streak earlier in the season, and we know what these boys are capable of. But then there are those games, you know? It’s like, can we put together a full 60 minutes of that good Minnesota hockey tonight against a team like the Avalanche? Because if we want to show the next generation of mites what it means to truly play in the State of Hockey, we gotta be *on* from the first puck drop.
You betcha — Let's Play Hockey. This is Ingie Olsen-Carlson.
Get all the hot takes and Minnesota nice straight talk with the morning crew, live at mornings.live.
