A disappointing loss

The wild lost a very unusual game wednesday november twenty seventh, against the Dallas Stars. The Stars came back from a two goal deficit to win the game. This was no ordinary come back. First there was an extremely long review of a Mikko Koivu shot that obviously never a goal. Then there was barely any thought at a Stars goal that at least deserved a good look at. Then to top it all off, another Mikko Koivu goal was turned over due to a net that was off it's moorings.

Even more disappointing than that, is that the Minnesota Wild hit five cross bars or posts. This included a shot with eight seconds left in the game. The Wild had many chances to win this game including a missed shot by Eric Belanger on an open net. The odds were with the wild who have not lost a game at home in regulation when scoring three goals since November fourth 2006. It is also the first career game the Niklas Backstrom has lost in regulation after being up in the second period. This lost lead the Wild to a 1-3 five game home-stand. Hopefully the Wild will step up their game soon.
