A change is coming
This post isn’t going to be easy to write. I figured that out as I struggled to start it, erasing at least four different opening sentences before just deciding on one – honesty. For the last few years, I’ve poured my heart, soul and effort into Wild Nation and it has brought me many great opportunities....
Wild win second straight
What a sight Tuesday night was for the Wild. Just a few days after the Wild put forth a great effort against the Dallas Stars, they went out and did it again on Tuesday against the Colorado Avalanche. It was exactly what the Wild were waiting for. A follow up performance to a solid game, and it was one...
Tim Thomas and the White House
Let me get one thing out of the way here really quick. On a whole, my political views tend to be left of center. I pride myself on being more pragmatic than subscribing to any one ideology, but for the most part, I find myself falling on the left side of the tracks, so to speak. Tim Thomas does not. On...
Wild rebound with strong win over Stars
It’s going to be a short one tonight because, frankly, it’s late and I’m tired. The Wild responded against the Dallas Stars and responded in a big way. They fell behind in the first period, after being outshot 11-5 (but not being outplayed) when Eric Nystrom repaid the Wild’s “betrayal” by...
UPDATED: Wild demote two, recall four
You know that something that I keep saying has to give? Well, the Wild have sent down Casey Wellman and David McIntyre to the AHL, per Kent Youngblood via Twitter. So, basically, something’s changing whether it’s someone coming in from the outside or someone coming up from Houston and, while someone...
The ball keeps rolling down hill; Wild lose to Leafs
Honestly, I don’t know what more to say than what has already been said by every other person covering the Wild out there. For the first time this season, I truly feel like the Wild have nothing good that they can take away from last night’s loss to the Maple Leafs. In other games, they struggled...
Wild fall again, this time to Philly
There’s no delicate way to say this, so I’m just going to come out and say it. This team is done unless something drastic happens soon. Sure, they’re still in a playoff spot as of now, and they could very well stay there but things aren’t looking good. This team is beyond fragile. It’s beyond...
Gameday Thread: Koivu nominated to first ASG
It’s amazing that Mikko Koivu hasn’t been named to an All Star roster before, especially with how important he has been to the Minnesota Wild over the last few seasons, but the NHL rectified that problem on Thursday by naming Koivu to its 42 man roster for the All Star game on January 29. Koviu,...
Wild down Sharks in a shootout
Well, the Wild did it. They won against a good team and, with the exception of the last few minutes of the game, played a very good game. Of course, the last few minutes of the game almost saw the wheels come off entirely and the Wild skated through overtime by the skin of their teeth to get to the shootout...
Gameday Thread: Wild look to stop slump against Sharks
Well, I suppose if you’re going to play the injury card, you might as well do it right. Pierre-Marc Bouchard has officially been shut down, suffering a concussion that seems to have been sustained during Zach Bogosian’s “clean” hit last month in Winnipeg. Now, we’re not going to debate whether...
