The Minnesota Wild Don't Want To Go Down 3-0

from Robert Tychkowski of the Edmonton Sun,

They won’t be eliminated with a loss tonight at the Xcel Energy Center, but there is no coming back from 3-0, and both sides know it.

“Things can turn very quickly,” said Minnesota’s Zach Parise. “If we come out and have a really good game, all of a sudden it’s 2-1.”

That’s what happened last spring. The Wild came home down 2-0 to the Blackhawks and won both game to even the series. That’s cause for optimism, just not too much of it, Parise cautioned.

“There have been a lot of comparisons from this year to last year, but it’s a whole new year," Parise said. "Last year, good or bad, doesn’t have any impact on what we’re doing today and how those first two games went.

“I just don’t think we can expect to come home and play better just because we did it last year. That’s not how it works. We have to be a lot better.”
