I know. Crazy, right?

I'm attributing it to the fact that a few games ago I dusted off my old Wild hoodie and they haven't lost since. I promise to keep it out and in front of the tv until the last vestiges of magic remain.

I figured somehow you had something to do with this hot streak.

I only refer to my input when they win. When they lose I'm like "What could have happened?"

And the hoodie roll keeps on rolling......

I'm definitely not getting rid of that hoodie.

Nice game. Two shut-outs in a row, and both of our goalies are on fire!

Wallstedt now leads the NHL in shutouts and save percentage. He has 3 shutouts in his last 4 starts. Yurov scored his 3rd goal while centering Foligno and Trenin. Nico Sturm made his season debut.

This is the Wild's fifth win in a row and moves them to 9-1-1 in November.

Actually Yurov has been centering KK and Zuc, he just happened to be on the ice with Foligno and Trenin due to an early line change with Sturm. It is nice to know Yurov can play up and down the lineup and looks pretty good with all of them. His play could make for a good problem to have at center when Rossi returns.

I just hope the Wild don't the Wild don't play their annoying game of...is he a center or is he a wing...with Yurov. He seems to have hit a bit of a stride since injuries forced them to move him to center. When Rossi comes back, Yurov will stay in the middle and just be allowed to grow in that role.

I give most of the credit for the hot streak to Lynn, but it coincides with my first post of the year also. (dislocated shoulder patting myself on the back.)

All of us fans who have stuck with them can take equal credit.

You mean like trying HOF defenseman Brent Burns at wing to start out.....

Simple...leave Yurov there.
Rossi will have to be a 2nd or 3rd line C.

The victories keep piling up. The Wild score a 4-3 OT win in Chicago. Different script this time as they finally let the other team score first. I can't imagine how far down we would have gotten were it not for Gus kicking out all 20 shots in the first period.
Plus a good challenge kept the Hawks from going up 3-0 due to an off side.
KK scored the OT winner on the PP and has tied Zach for 3rd in all time goals with 199.

I was worried that the hoodie had lost its superpower, but it just faltered a bit. We couldn't watch the game because it wasn't carried on the usual Fan Duel channel, but I was keeping up with the score on my phone.

I just about tossed the hoodie back into the closet when I saw the score went up 3-0, but was relieved to see the number go back to 2 a couple of minutes later. Thanks, Tim for explaining it was off-sides. I figured something like that, but it wasn't spelled out in the scoring table.

Onward. We all know at some point they're going to lose a game again (knock on wood), but this run has shown they've got what it takes to go deep, or, dare I say, all the way. The hoodie stays.
