Granlund, Coyle, Brodin, Nino Niederreiter and Erik Haula go to Vikings and Timberwolves games together, grab dinner together, play video games together. They carpool to games, eat pregame meals together.

“And we push each other every day,” Niederreiter said. “We’re not jealous of each other, but when you see Granny do great things or Chucky do great things, you want to do great things.”

Look at the impact each made in last season’s playoffs: Granlund scoring a pivotal Game 3 overtime winner against Colorado and blocking three shots in the waning seconds of Game 4; Coyle scoring three goals and seven points and secretly playing with two separated shoulders; Brodin logging 24 minutes a night and helping the Wild’s transition game motor; Haula scoring four times and stunning the Blackhawks with his speed; and of course Niederreiter, who set up Jared Spurgeon’s tying goal in Game 7 before delivering the Wild its first playoff series victory in 11 years with an overtime winner.

The Wild begins the season Thursday night with high hopes resting on the potential of the five players who broke out last spring.

Was in a suite last night watching with a bunch of golfing buddies.

Rangers overcome a 3-0 end of the 2nd period deficit and 4-2 deficit to the Wild with 14 minutes to go to win 5-4. Nash scores his 9th goal in 9 games to go along with 2 assists. Rookie19 year old Duclair scores with 3:48 to go to tie it up with Zuccarello scoring 37 seconds later to take the lead.

Cheap shots. You forgot to mention the cheap shots.

Actually couldn't watch the game because I had other plans.

Either way, you can't give up 5 goals in a period

Went to bed at 3-1, thought I would wake up to a Wild win, not a Wild loss. Power Play sucks for the Wild

How early do you go to bed? It was a 7:00 game at MSG which means 6:00 in ND or Minnesota. Game couldn't have ended late at all especially if you are in the central time zone

Now if you are saying you went to the bedroom when it was 3-1 (if you know what I mean), well then
