Wild Clinch

The Minnesota have clinched the playoffs in a 3-0 loss to the San Jose Sharks last night and have eliminated the Colorado Avalanche from the playoffs. This also means that there are no spots left in the Western Conference and the East still has room. They Wild are on a four game skid, but since the Avalanche lost 4-3 to the Nashville Predators the losing streak almost means nothing. They will most likely play the Stars or Blues in the playoffs and it will be tough, but they can pull off an upset though. The season has been crazy with Mike Yeo being fired after a terrible stretch thatput them out of playoff position, but John Torchetti came to the rescue and had the Wild win games like crazy. Colorado couldn't keep up and it seems as if the injured to Matt Duchene And Nathan MacKinnon really put them down. They should have a good season next year, but they have to do well in the playoffs and not lose o the Blackhawks in order to do so. Did they desere to be in the playoffs? Was John Torchetti the reason they made the playoffs? Is this finally the year for them? stay tuned....
