Wild send an early message to the Stars! (VIDEO)

The Wild sent an early message to members of the Dallas Stars in the form of some punishing checks. Less than three minutes into the game the Stu Bickel made the Stars Alex Goligoski pay for going into the corner behind the Dallas goal, and later on that same shift Justin Falk put a crushing hit on Ryan Garbutt. You can hear the audible gasp from the Dallas crowd as Falk levels Garbutt in this video courtesy of Some Hockey Videos.
