Now that the Wild have lost a game the season is on. There was a false sense about this team through the first four games that they can fall behind and they would just come back and win.

That is not the case and the flaws came to the forefront on Dunday against a very hungry Nashville Predators squad.

The penalties have been numerous for the Wild and the penalty kill has been suspect from the first game forward.

Kaapo Kahkonen was put into a bad spot and the woes continued for the Wild second year netminder.

No time to panic, just time to pick up the pace and keep learning and progressing as a team. Ot is October and nothing is won in October. Just need to fill the points bank with as many points to build a foundation for the season.

And Karill Kaprizov is fine, he is not experiencing a Sophomore slump and no the league has not figured him out. He is due to explode and all will be right with the Wild's most dominant force.

Vancouver will present thw Wild's toughest test to date with their up tempo speed game, so a great opponent to make amends for Sunday's lack luster performance.

It's always Hockey Day in The State of Hockey!
