I really want them to win, but it doesn't seem likely. For as long as I have watched Minnesota professional sports we just can't seem to get over that hump, the 2003 Wild, 2004 Wolves or the 2009 and 2017 Vikings.
Surprised Penn State made it in, it just goes to show schedule a decent non-conference and win enough game and you'll get in the tournament. Now comes the nonsense that is the transfer portal.
Kinda off topic, but does Cooley make the jump to the NHL knowing what we know now? For as much as we shit on the Minnesota Wild, they are nothing like that franchise.
