We won our first ever Northwest Division title in a huge 3-1 victory over the Calgary Flames!! My husband Jim and I were going through our regular routine, Rolston Jersey’s: check, cheap game tickets: check, keys: check, dinner reservations: check, but this was far from a regular night at a Wild game.
The Wild were making a huge comeback from a big slump in March and were fighting for much more than just another win. Walking through the tunnels downtown you could feel the unusually high level of excitement shared among the Wild fans as everyone shouted in unison, “MINNESOTA WILD FOR THE WIN!!” They were fighting for their FIRST ever Northwest Division title since the team was made in 2000 and a #3 seed for the playoff games.
The game was beyond amazing. They completely dominated Calgary throughout the half. Jim got so excited right after the first goal he nearly fell over and spilled his drink everywhere! The crowd was going wild everyone around us was talking and having a great time. I haven’t had that much fun at a Wild Game in a long time and we’re definitely looking forward to playoffs!
