Mike Yeo has fielded the “What’s wrong with you guys at home?” question for weeks now.
So he especially knows it’s up to Wild players, not Wild fans, to bring their “A” game into Xcel Energy Center for Sunday’s pivotal Western Conference quarterfinals matinée. But with the Wild having a chance to deliver a knockout punch of the St. Louis Blues on home ice, the Wild coach also hopes his team feeds off the home crowd’s, uh, energy, exuberance and Sunday Fun Day pre-party lubrication.
“Hopefully our fans are having a couple of Bloody Marys with breakfast to get in a good frame of mind,” Yeo joked Saturday.
