Report: Coach Yeo refuses to back down against Chicago.

Despite some lat game heroics, the Minnesota Wild came up a tad short on Friday, losing Game 1 of this second-round series against the Chicago Blackhawks. This is familiar territory for the Wild as they have made a habit of overcoming the odds in the face of dire circumstances this season. One thing seems certain, both teams are digging in for the long haul. “They came out flying and we weren’t really up to speed. Finally in the second period we got playing the way were capable of,” Ryan Suter told Brian Murphy of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. “They’re a really good hockey team. You can just feel that out there. They’re just after you like crazy,” Blackhawks Niklas Hjalmarsson told Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times. Head coach Mike Yeo spoke to the media today and made it clear his team is not backing down by any means. “If you want to ask, we’re not rattled right now,” said Wild head coach Mike Yeo, as per Chad Graff of the Pioneer Press. The Wild are all about resiliency and they'll need plenty of that in Game 2.
