Coach Yeo: Accept it. The best thing that can happen this season is to continue to lose. Today was perfect. It was an entertaining loss. There is no guarantee that a top 5 draft pick will help us next year but it sure could accelerate us getting to be a respectable club down the road. Dont worry coach Yeo, we all still respect you and want you back. Tough break on your rookie season but it will get better.

Yep, you guessed it...another loss and more lame excuses from various players. Glad I didn't waste this beautiful day sitting in front of th TV watching the Wild chalk up another loss.

Pretty clear to me that Richards was used as a scapegoat this year. Yeo has done absolutely nothing but make excuses and talk tough. Rookie coach, rookie GM, rookie results. Very simple.

Quixote72, I totally agree with your comments. It looks like the addition of a few established stars and some good young rookies/prospects and this will be a fun & very competitive team next year. Each of the next following years will be progressivly better and in 5 years we hoist the cup!! Go Wild!!!!!!

yathinkso, I have to agree with the scapegoat comment. A disappointing loss... spent extra $ to switch tickets so we could take our daughter and son-in-law to the game. Left at 6 AM to get there, and it seemed I put in more effort getting there on time than some of the players did in the game. Just one of those days I guess, but I'll be back cheering for a win again next time. Lets go Wild and end on a high note!

Montreal and NY Islanders end in OT today. Toronto wins too. Wild now occupy the 3rd overall pick. I'm okay with that.

I was afraid the Mild (wild) were about to win the game. Made me nervous because they need that 2nd or 3rd overall draft pick.

As I have said before, right now on the Wild Roster, we have four I repeat four what I would call everyday NHL'ers. they are as follows: 1. Heatley, 2. Setaguthci, 3. Cullen, 4. Brodziak. Am I wrong?
