The Minnesota Wild have just won the Northwest Division winning in regulation behind the goals of Marian Gaborik who scored twice and nearly got the hat trick.
They will have home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs and they will face the Colorado Avalanche...
The Wild are rated 3rd seed in the playoffs and hopefully they will be able to advance to the Stanley Cup!!
They perservered all season throughout theirs up and downs so they earned the right to be the Northwest Champs.
They had to win the division to get a favorable matchup in the first round. They have no chance against San Jose or Anaheim, which is my pick to win the Stanley Cup, but they can get past the first round by playing the Avalanche.
