Found October 27, 2011 on Wild Puck Banter:
After countless hours reviewing film, I think I've finally come up with a reason why the Minnesota Wild don't have much (ok, any) success in the playoffs: it's that blonde chick that always sits behind the home bench. Since she started sitting there many years ago, the Wild have had only one successful playoff run. Could she be the Wild's version of the Wrigley Billy Goat Curse? What evil hold does she have over this team? For the betterment of everyone involved, please move your seats to another location.
