Game one is in the books. The Wild beat the Bruins 4-3 and the streak remains in tact. The Wild have never lost a home opener.

What worked
What didn't
It was nice to win, but letting that lead go without increasing pressure or a sense of urgency scares me. Looks like other things scared Lemaire:
In Pictures
Erik Belanger scored twice, getting himself off to a hot start again. Hopefully he keeps it up.
Marian Gaborik was back in front of the home town crowd. The real question though, is for how much longer. Watch him while you can folks. If he continues to be paired with two checking line guys in Veilleux and Sheppard, it will hasten his exodus from St. Paul
Owen Nolan showed the toughness and grit we were expecting, although I recommend not fighting the giant.
Would be awfully nice to see a lot of this:

Notes from the Other Side:

You sure about that Manny?
How do Bostonians like the Minnesota boys on their roster?
