It isn’t news that Marco Rossi was “very disappointed” by how the Minnesota Wild used him in their six-game playoff series against the Vegas Golden Knights.

David Spacek’s Days With the Wild Are Numbered – Minnesota Wild

The Wild Are Wile E. Coyote Suspended In Midair – Minnesota Wild
As a kid, I loved Saturday morning cartoons, especially Looney Tunes. Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner had a fun cat-and-mouse dynamic that matched anything you’d see on Tom and Jerry. Wile E. Coyote would set traps for the Road Runner, often using more dynamite than you’d find in a Wisconsin warehouse. However, he… Continue reading The Wild Are Wile E.

The Wild Are Leaving Las Vegas With A Familiar Feeling – Minnesota Wild
Gustav Nyquist stood inches inside the blueline before Ryan Hartman scored what looked like the game-winning goal with 1:16 left in the third. The officials reviewed it. Nyquist had skated offside. No goal. Never mind that 40-year-old Marc-Andre Fleury had stepped in for Filip Gustavsson as he battled illness after the second intermission. Or that… Continue reading The Wild Are Leaving Las Vegas With A Familiar Feeling – Minnesota Wild
