A 2007-2008 season that featured several notable team records was capped off with a franchise first for the Wild: a Northwest Division title. A two goal effort from captain and superstar Marian Gaborik paced the victory Thursday night in one of the more important victories in Wild history. The Wild locked up the #3 seed in the Western Conference playoffs, important because it gives them home ice for at least the 1st round of the playoffs and allows them to avoid conference heavyweights Detroit and San Jose. The win also was only the 2nd over Calgary in 8 tries this season, a team that could potentially be the Wild's first round opponent. The most successful regular season in Wild history ends on Sunday and the playoffs loom next week.Saturday, April 5, 2008
