The Minnesota Wild is like a bad stain in that, no matter how hard you try, you can't get rid of them. So, for that reason, I'm going to have to say Wild in 7.
And goaltending is not the only key. No goaltender is complete without his defensive corps, which the Wild seem to have mastered. I haven't seen the Ducks play this year, but if they don't collapse in front of their goaltender like the Wild do, then the Wild have this sneaky ability to pass the puck across the net to an open player when no one is looking. How's Giguere's lateral?
In any case, this is going to be a tough series for either team.
Edit: Spelling mistakes
