ST. PAUL -- With the frustrations mounting on a regular season that's quickly running short on time, Wild coach Bruce Boudreau ran out of words following a 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars on Thursday night at Xcel Energy Center.
For a guy that has a story for everything, is as gregarious a human being as there is and for someone who will talk hockey with virtually anyone that crosses his path, his lack of answers was telling.
Desperately in need of a big-time performance against a division rival, the Wild escaped a slow start to the first period by getting to the intermission scoreless.
