"This hasn't been a trend lately. It's been the last two games and we have to fix it," he said.
Early in the game, Yeo said the Wild wasn't committed enough to playing a heavy game, getting to the middle and battling.
"We were looking for easier stuff instead of harder stuff," Yeo said. "Every time we got the puck in the offensive zone, we threw it away, gave it to them and broke it out for them. When we're playing well, we're strong on that puck, we're controlling the puck in the offensive zone, moving our feet. I didn't see any of that early in the game."
Calgary's first goal, with two guys deep, Jason Zucker threw it away. Calgary's third, the shortie, Ryan Suter tripped or was tripped (never saw a replay) and a 3-on-1 was triggered.
This was one of those games where the kids had trouble, weren't strong on the puck. Charlie Coyle took two penalties and had one shot, although he made a great move and Karri Ramo robbed him. Nino Niederreiter didn't get a shot off on three good lucks. Zucker worked his tail off but was bounced off the puck over and over and was minus-2.
After so much was made about putting together Zach Parise, Mikael Granlund and Jason Pominville, Parise and Pominville were minus-2 and Granlund was minus-3. Kyle Brodziak, struggling mightily in the faceoff circle lately, lost 13 of 16.
