Wake-up call comes too late for Wild

A strong final 40 minutes couldn't fix the damage done by a first period of sleepwalking.

A tough loss. More importantly, the Wild appear to be competitive.

Well, that was disappointing. Is it me, or does it look like Nick Schultz is running on empty?

At least they did not fold over and they fought hard. Unlike the Twinkies. Power play could be better but I have seen teams like the Bruins go 0-7 before. Hockey anything can happen

Just another day in loserville...

typical. follow up one good game with a clunker.

@eibud.. the days of being content with just being "competitive" should be long gone. Especially against the likes of the NYI. This should have been a 4-point road trip.

Oh well. At least we got that first loss out of the way. Like they say, it's a marathon, not a sprint.

They need to do better with a man advantage. Chances were there but they did not close the deal.

PMB would have definitely helped this afternoon. Thanks Shanny.

Losses happen in the NHL - even the worst team wins 30 games in a season. What matters is how they respond next game. It was also good to see some fire after a rotten first period (hopefully a sign of guts and coaching).
