Minnesota Wild equipment van was in an accident, caught fire and much of the Wild players' equipment has been burned so badly it's toast.

and

No injuries in the accident, apparently, but if u know anything about NHL players and equipment, especially skates, players are apoplectic.

and

Nik Backstrom's equipment, all of it apparently, is up in smoke. Wild checking with the league to see what their options are. Unprecedented.

#1 the main thing is no one was seriously injured in the accident.
