I'm torn. It goes against my fabric to say it's okay to let a guy run your goalie like that. But, if the Wild's as soft as Yeo evidently thinks, then I can see where he doesn't want them trying to be something they're not. And, of course, they did get even where it counts the most (even though the Buds got a point).
There is a pretty vocal subset of Wild fans that is deriding the team for being so soft, though.

This has been Detroit's playbook for years. If the opposing team takes liberties punish them on the powerplay. With one of the best powerplays in the league it's a system that could work for Minnesota. I'm not a fan of it personally, but it's proven to be successful for some teams in the past.
