Minnesota Wild Playoffs

Tonight is Game 5 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals between the Minnesota Wild and the Colorado Avalanche. Now here's something that is somewhat funny, somewhat frustrating for us down here at Ticket King St. Paul. On Monday night, the Minnesota Wild blew the Colorado Avalanche out of the water, beating them in the first game on their home turf for this round of the playoffs. So Tuesday morning, we were super busy, basically had a really small amount of tickets available for the game, and people were soooo excited for the game tonight. Then Tuesday night, Minnesota Wild fans were crushed when the team took a devastating 5-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche in Denver. And our phones weren't just quiet down here at Ticket King St. Paul on Wednesday for the game, they were dead. I couldn't believe that one game could make such a difference. Especially when I realized that had the wins been switched around, had the Minnesota Wild lost on Monday night and won on Tuesday night, we would have been just crazy busy until the game that's taking place tonight. But Minnesota Wild fans have rallied today, and are over the "mourning" period of the Game 4 loss, pumped up for the game tonight and we are almost completely out of tickets - sad because I actually wanted to go to the game! But hopefully the Minnesota Wild boys will now have a little push with the home ice advantage to win (knock on wood!), win this weekend at Denver and push us into the next round. If you're looking for last minute tickets, it's definitely worth it to call or stop into our office on West 7th Street by the Xcel Energy Center, and if you're going to the game, make sure you stop in and say hi!

Peace out.
