Needing a win to clinch a playoff spot for the first time since 2008, the Wild laid an egg Friday night and the Edmonton Oilers spoiled the party with a 6-1 victory. This was a choke of epic proportions for the Wild, who can still claim the eighth-and-final playoff spot in the Western Conference with a win in Colorado over the Avalanche Saturday. "I don't know what to say," said Wild center Matt Cullen. "It was one of the weirdest games I've ever played in. It was strange. But bottom line is that we got spanked in a game that we absolutely needed to win. It's one of those things that leaves you shaking your head."
