What happened

A road trip that started with a 3-4 loss in Edmonton and bottomed out at 1-2 in Calgary, which one fan called "hands down the worst performance from the Wild in the past two seasons." Bogosian took the brunt of it; so did the penalty kill, the refs, and anyone saying "Minny." The turn came in Seattle, a 5-1 shrug of a win that reset everything, followed by 4-2 in Vancouver. By Sunday the loudest take was a love letter to Quinn Hughes. Two wins cures a lot.

What fans said

  • “We just got dominated for 45-55 minutes by the WORST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE. FIGURE IT THE FUCK OUT”
