"Wild coach Mike Yeo wants his team to dwell on what happened Tuesday night at Xcel Energy Center.

OK, so maybe that's not the whole story. Wednesday, the day after the Wild blew a 4-1 third-period lead in a 5-4 loss to Nashville, Yeo held a surprisingly upbeat, high-paced practice. After it was over, he said he wanted his team to remember what it did in the first 50 minutes of that game and forget the final 10.

"If we want to dwell on anything, it should be the fact that we should have won the game," Yeo said. "For the majority of the game we were playing our game, doing the things we were supposed to do. And we gave ourselves a chance to win three games in a row."

Of course, that didn't happen, thanks to some stunning breakdowns in the final moments. Indeed, even defenseman Nick Schultz, who has played 731 career games, said he couldn't remember a loss like Wednesday's."
