For all the talk that this was the best Wild team ever, and a team that had what it took to win a Stanley Cup -- things sure went to hell in a hand basket quickly. The Blackhawks kicked our ass up and down the ice for four straight games. If one person tells me that Minnesota actually 'played better' than Chicago. #Embarrassing

About a half hour before the game I got this text from a friend of mine from Chicago:

GEORGE: Anyone know where I can find a broom?

Guess I had that coming.

I'm growing weary of the overpriced, underperforming pro sports teams in Minnesota, 'The Land of 10,000 Disappointments.'

Time to start cheering for the Rox, Lumberjacks, Renegades and such. Not that they're any more successful (they might be, I just haven't been paying attention), but tickets and beer are a hell of a lot cheaper!
