Well, if there were a team to stop the Avalanche's winning streak it was the Wild who take the season series 5-1. I truly hate games against the Wild. Usually they are low scoring affairs that the Avs eventually lose thanks to a timely goal by the Wild. Not much to say about this game. Both Josh Harding and Craig Anderson were very good and made some great saves. Martin Havlat scored the only goal late the third off a lucky bounce and a nifty pass by Kyle Brodziak. The Avalanche had a 6 on 4 for a full two minutes but couldn't cash in on it. I'm glad the Avalanche play tomorrow because I just want to forget about this game and the Wild in general.
