Alright Wild fans, in case you’ve been living under a rock the last 72 hours, center Marco Rossi was sent down to the AHL.
Registering just one point in 16 games this season while playing mediocre hockey, the Austrian native couldn’t seem to find his place. This led to four straight scratches and a “pack your bag” conversation with Deano and Billy G.
Throughout the 16 games, he showed some promise, but something always seemed off. He looked afraid to take hits, sometimes shied away from puck battles, and wasn’t the elite faceoff winner we were expecting. While this was frustrating to watch, I never gave up hope. Even from afar, I never stopped cheering him on.Speaking of… As a person who has rooted for Marco Rossi every game this season…

Patience leads to all great things in life no matter how frustrating it can be. Also, let us not forget that when times get tough you have two choices:
1. Lay there squealing
2. Put your big boy pants on and get to work
Failure is no longer an option for Marco Rossi.
