Wild officially eliminated from playoffs

I think for me it was the Nashville disaster. The mother of all meltdowns.

That is the most hilarious mistake I have ever head of, but I can totally see how you made it

I'm genuinely surprised by how well everyone seems to be taking this.

I could see us losing every game for the rest of the season. Every opponent is in play off position. Its too bad we have 5 home games out of the last 7. #2 pick is an actual possibility. Edmonton has Anaheim twice. Montreal still has to play Carolina, Toronto, and Tampa Bay. This is very possible.

This is a tricky one.. I had the lowest of expectations to start & again to finish but the middle is a little muddled...

I decided I would make a graph to illustrate my Excitement & Expectations towards the playoffs this season...

We see here in figure 1.a Excitement & Expectation Levels vs. Time


Here in Fig 2.b We see the same timeline but with small graphic additions to sum up the end of this & every Wild season other than 2003. (*2003 was still sad BUT left me filled with pride & hope not seen since said season)

Honestly at this point I'm more relieved that we are finally eliminated than anything else. Means the players cant ******** and say they're still trying for the playoffs.
