Usually, when Wild coach Jacques Lemaire reviews the videotape of a rotten game, it's not as bad as he originally thought.
But when Lemaire critiqued Wednesday night's 2-1 dud against Columbus, it turned out to be worse.
"I was fine before looking at it," Lemaire said. "After? Well, I should be saying `during,' I wasn't feeling so good."
Lemaire was so steamed Thursday that he canceled practice and had a chalk-talk session with the Wild - loser of three consecutive games - complete with the video of Wednesday's game.
No one is excused from Lemaire's wrath these days.
"It's a collective thing," Lemaire said.
