The Wild were playing well at the time. Preds were the hottest team in the league. Dallas, playoffs yes. Don't try to downplay the competition to justify moving the goalposts here.
Like I said. People were arguing they weren't even gonna make the playoffs this year. They are playing well above original expectation to get 6/8 on a road trip like this considering. But now that's not good enough to be deemed great either. It's like only 82-0 will ever do. Lol.
A GREAT road trip it was, indeed.
