Too Many Passengers On The Wild

from Michael Russo of the Star Tribune,
All season, Wild coach Jacques Lemaire has grumbled that the Wild often enters games with too many “passengers.”
Friday night, after the Wild’s playoff hopes took another Sopranos-like whack to the head during a 4-0 loss in New Jersey, Lemaire grabbed one of the passengers off the bus and threw him underneath the wheels.
Defenseman Marek Zidlicky derailed the evening with two mind-boggling goof-ups on his first two even-strength shifts of the second period.
“You can’t make mistakes like that, not when you’re on the road, playing against a good team,” Lemaire said. “To me, they’re mistakes you have to avoid. You do this once a year—and one time!
“I hate to blame a guy for a loss. The team overall didn’t play good enough to win. But these mistakes, they just don’t help.”
