All three of those overtime/shootout Wild games this year, by the way, have come against Eastern Conference teams. The Wild will have another East foe Wednesday when it plays at Buffalo (6 p.m., FSN).

"The Twins have been profitable, but up until now, they have had old management styles operating the team and those have now changed. This new management seems to have a more realistic approach that will be shown in time."

"Is Rick Spielman a lock to win GM of the year? Bringing in solid tackles in Remmers and Reiff. And a solid backup QB Case and RB Murray. Drafting guys like Elflein and Dalvin. And the most impressive decision by him not signing Sam Bradford to a long-term contract!"
