Was it a broken finger or Hand for Middleton?

OK, so Minnesota is #1 in the NHL and things go pretty well for a while, then the injuries starts to pile up but they still keep winning most of their games. Then they have a game where everything goes wrong and all of a sudden Russo is having a panic attack?
He's shopping people all over the place and starts to hallucinating about 2011 as if that is a normal thing for teams to do once they lost a horrible game to last year's SC runner up.
Chill out, dude. Inhale, count to 4, exhale.

Not going to say Russo sucks. Maybe way overrated.

 

[AKL]

Inside Russo there are two different Russo's, the one that sucks and the one that doesn't suck, and if you've spent a lot of time following his work, you know which is which when it's occurring

It's still a fine article because I had to do my research to remember which season that was. Not every fan is in the know like many of us on this boards are. I had to google "best season start in Wild history", had to then check NHL.com to that season to see where we ended up, I then had to search when the losing streak happened. And if I had to do that, most general fans aren't going to go through the pain of searching that.

But just take it as it is, a history lesson of when it happened before. No need to take 2 more jumps forward to say anyone is panicking. Because it was definitely fascinating when that happened.
