Minnesota teams that bonded have only retreated
JIM SOUHAN @Souhanstrib
To build team harmony during the offseason, the Minnesota Timberwolves bonded in the Bahamas, and the Minnesota Wild vacationed in Vail. Let's hope they improved at snorkeling and skiing.
Their players might have become better friends, but the relationship-building has not succeeded in ways visible to the ticket-buying public. Entering the weekend, the Wolves are carrying a six-game losing streak that represents the first crisis of Ryan Saunders' head coaching career, and the Wild is scrambling to overcome one of the worst starts in franchise history.
