It's going to very hard regardless to win against the Wild because of politics. We saw it in the Sharks/Wild game. The league wants the Flames to win this game because it makes for a great matchup Friday but you can bet your ass the game will be heavily called in favour of the Wild Friday.
That's why the Rangers and Leafs have won so many Stanley Cups in the last 30 years. The league fixes everything in favour of the big media markets.
