Wild owner likens being 'good enough' to porn: 'You know it when you see it'

The Minnesota Wild's season was prematurely put to bed, and the team's owner isn't enjoying the afterglow.

Craig Leipold offered an adult-themed analogy when asked Monday to follow up on a comment that his team hasn't been good enough.

"I just don't see us with this team getting to the (Stanley Cup Final)," Leipold told reporters, including The Athletic's Chad Graff, as he addressed the decision to not renew general manager Chuck Fletcher's contract. "I think we're a good team but not good enough right now."

A reporter then asked what "good enough" looks like, to which Leipold replied, "It's like pornography. You know it when you see it."

The Wild have qualified for the playoffs in each of the last six campaigns, but lost in the opening round in the last three and failed to advance past the second round during Fletcher's nine-season tenure.

There's a joke in there about going unfulfilled, but we're not going to make it.
