I actually picked the Wild to win the 1st game in the prediction thread. Didn't think we'd get shutout..
I've been saying all week....
Structured, gritty, size, defensively sound team with veteran leadership.. they do great board work in the offensive zone. Spurgeon is a heck of a player and is a hidden gem in hockey because he plays in Minny.
Their coach has them playing the type of game that wins in playoffs.
