Last summer, the Minnesota Wild talked Jacques Lemaire into returning as coach. This time, they might have to be more persuasive. This has been a trying winter and spring for Lemaire and the Wild, who entered the final weekend of the regular season with a faint hope of reaching the playoffs but haven't put together a three-game winning streak before Thanksgiving. They've been hampered by injuries to important players, slow development of recent first-round draft picks, and persistent inconsistency that frustrates the discipline-driven coach like no other flaw. He'll assess his feelings, his energy and his enthusiasm for the job in consultation with his family and Wild general manager Doug Risebrough, a former Canadiens teammate of Lemaire's who hired the Quebec native to guide the club when it entered the league nine years ago.
