One Step Closer.
One more win and the Wild can punch their ticket to "The Big Dance".
Indeed, Minny is breathing rarefied air. This is all new territory for a franchise that previously had only ever managed to get past the 1st round once in their history.
On Saturday afternoon the Wild continued to victimize Red Wings goaltending, slamming 6 goals behind the Dunham/Hedberg combination.
This time is was the young guys leading the way as Jason Spezza and Daniel Sedin lead the charge with 2 goals and 1 assist each.
After the game GM Farhall said the team can't afford to get too excited about the position they are in.
"This Wings team has already proven an ability to come back from a deep hole - a deeper one in fact. We need to continue to do the things we are doing and come out on Monday and try to put this away."
