The state of Minnesota sports is such that Minnesota’s media is turning cartwheels that the Wild might get into the NHL playoffs.
Maybe.
Provided they not only win, but win in regulation time, or win in extra innings or whatever the hell overtime is called in hockey, since I don’t give a rat’s ass about hockey, and another almost-equally-woebegone team loses.
So kudos, Wild. Maybe.

They are in. Stop with the jinx. The franchise is only 15 years old and is the exception to Berg’s law about local sports teams. I hope..
More importantly, this could be the year for the Cubbies! Game starts in 20 minutes!
