| Struggles to finish or not, the Wild won a game when they absolutely had to and made the playoffs without backing in. | ||

| The Wild have lost eight of the last 10 and all of a sudden find themselves only three points up on ninth place and Detroit has a game in hand. A playoff spot is no lock at all. | ||

| Danger! Danger! The Wild are falling fast and now are on the bubble, having lost six of seven (picking up only three of 14 points). Blame the offense, which has only eight goals in those seven games and five in the six losses. | ||

| Are these guys the hottest team in the NHL behind the Pens? Probably. If it weren't for Pittsburgh they'd be getting a lot more attention. ... Unlike last year, this is more sustainable because they're outshooting | ||

| Making the current stretch of seven wins in eight games even more impressive is that four of those seven wins were on the road, absolutely a positive for a team that was sub .500 away from Minnesota. | ||

| Albeit it's by virtue of tie-breakers, but here are your current Northwest Division leaders. And this season it's not with nearly as much smoke and mirrors as their early success last season. | ||

| Believe it or not, the Wild are first in the Northwest (tied with Vancouver). It helps that they're 9-2-1 on home ice, but they need to improve on the road. | ||

| I'm still not jumping all in on the Wild but they're playing some alright hockey, especially at home where they are 8-2-1 ... It's been a big lift getting increased production from Devin Setoguchi, who has a goal and four assists in the last four. That must continue. | ||
| 02/25/2013 | 21 | 18 |
| Zach Parise still believes they're a playoff team and they are just one point back, but they don't score. Their 37 goals are last in NHL ... There still just isn't a ton of depth. Only six players averaging at least 0.5 points per game. | ||

| Sunday's win over Detroit was their first in regulation since Jan. 29, a stretch of eight games. Yet they're still right there in a tie for eighth. | ||

| We know this, they will be a lot more fun to watch this season with Zach Parise and Ryan Suter joining. It's not like they're the cure-all, though. In a few years this team could be really good with a tremendous system, but that time isn't now, I don't believe. | ||
