7 Best Playoff Goals In Minnesota Wild History
By Kirby Horgan
6. Darby Hendrickson – 2003 WCSF Game 7
Try to ignore that this video looks like it was filmed with a calculator. If you ever need a reminder of how awesome high definition television is, watch an old hockey game and try to keep your eye on the puck.
Regardless if you could even see it, the puck did go in past Dan Cloutier. Former Minnesota Wild forward and now assistant coach Darby Hendrickson supplied that bomb late in the third period of game seven which completed the comeback from a 2-0 deficit in the game and a 3-1 hole in the series.
It was the first time in NHL history that any team had overcome a pair of 3-1 series deficits in the same playoff year and vaulted the Wild to an improbable conference finals against the Anaheim Ducks and Jean-Sebastien Giguere.
We won’t go too deep into how that series went, but the Minnesota Wild scored one, count it, one goal.
