from Michel Russo of the StarTribune,

Six weeks ago, the Wild was gearing up for a deep Stanley Cup run.

But late Sunday afternoon, in a quickly-emptying locker room full of sweaty, stunned faces, Eric Staal voiced what everybody in the organization and thousands of fans who invested their hearts and money into what’s quickly becoming a lost season had to be thinking.

“After the type of year we had, this is definitely hard to imagine right now,” Staal said. “We’ve got to find a way to win one.”

After a franchise-record 106 points, the Wild is three games into this postseason and have yet to figure out how to win a game against the St. Louis Blues or light up their stingy goalie.

Three games that could have gone either way, yet it’s the Wild that lost 3-1 Sunday afternoon to find itself in a colossal 3-0 cavity.
