The Blues got out possessed, out shot, and out played. But after the shootout, it was the Wild who got out scored.
2 points is 2 points*.
*Although shootout wins a slightly less because of tiebreakers. But who gives a shit at this point?

- Big Ten football is known for all of the rivalry trophies, but with all of the expansions in recent years, newer matchups haven't been able to match the history of many of the decades-old prizes...until a Twitter war between Minnesota and Nebraska yielded the $5 Bits of Broken Chair trophy.
