If someone were to have told me back in September the Wild would be 11-3-3 seventeen games into the season, I would have given them a hug, thanked them for their optimism, and then called someone in their family to tell them to keep an eye on them and get them some professional assistance to make sure they didn't slip further into insanity. Prediction #1: We are winning both games this week, including the Wild reintroducing themselves to the Stars in spectacular fashion. Now sitting at an overall season total of 14-10, with one prediction from two weeks back still up in the air, I need a strong week to keep my last shred of credibility.
