Gameday Thread: Wild look to slow down Jets
If this keeps up this way, the Wild are going to get a serious Rodney Dangerfield complex, because they just can’t get no respect Ask any talking head or stat junkie and they’ll tell you that the Wild are one of the worst teams in the league – that is, if they recognize that they’re even part...
Gameday Thread: Wild head to the Sharktank
The Wild are going to have a big test on their plate tonight, as Casey Wellman is going to return to his old stomping grounds for the first time with the Wild and he’s been on quite a roll. Wellman is looking for the longest point streak of his career as he comes into San Jose and is looking very much...
NHL approves new, radical realignment
As has been reported, the NHL has approved a four-conference realignment plan and, tentatively, a new playoff plan for the upcoming season. The basics are that every team will play a home-and-home against one another (so, that means that Wild fans will get to see Alex Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby and so on...
Wild steal win from Devils
If you were to ask me how the Wild keep winning, I honestly couldn’t tell you. The Wild played a pretty poor game on Friday night, but still managed to sneak out a 4-2 win over a New Jersey Devils team that has been struggling of late, but is still a very good team. Friday night, the Wild showed their...
Gameday Thread: Wild look to keep it going against Devils
The Wild are off to their best start in franchise history, and there’s one big reason why. Mike Yeo. As was mentioned on Sports Illustrated’s Red Light Blog, the Wild’s biggest asset this season has been their system – when they stick to it, it works. But just as big as that has been the guy...
The Wild have bought in and you should too
If you’ll forgive me for a moment, I’d like to indulge in writing something that I never in a million years thought I’d be writing this season. Before any games are played, on December 1, 2011, the Minnesota Wild are atop the NHL. Let me let that sink in for a moment. The Wild are the top team...
Around the League: New coaches and suspended players
Man, there’s a lot going on in the NHL right now (and the world of hockey in general). Coaches gone, players banned, and amidst all of that, the Minnesota Wild just keep winning. I won’t talk about the Wild’s winning ways today, but the rest will be addressed. Boudreau and Maurice Out The Maurice...
Wild rebound to down Lightning
Now that’s how you respond from a couple of down games. After two pretty lousy games over the weekend, the Minnesota Wild came out on Monday and won a very impressive game over a very talented Tampa Bay Lightning team. The Wild, as has been their M.O. this season, came out of the gates slow (though...
Gameday Thread: Wild look to rebound against Bolts
So, if you’re like me, you’ve got a lot of catching up to do. I insulated myself from the Wild this weekend, due to the holiday part of it, and after perusing the reading materials on the interwebz, I’m glad I did. It sounds like it was a brutal last couple of games. Mike Yeo is always about the...
Wild get big win over Preds
If there was ever a playoff series I want to see, it would have to be between the Wild and the Predators. By the time the game was over, there was so much pent up animosity between the two teams, I’m surprised things didn’t boil over at the final horn (though there was never really a chance for it...
