The Ghost of Playoffs Past Still Haunt the Wild – Minnesota Wild

Jared Spurgeon and Jonas Brodin are the only two Minnesota Wild players who’ve played in the second round of the playoffs. Every other player has never seen a second round in Minnesota.  The Wild have players who have won it all, some more than once. However, for this Minnesota team and its fans, the second… Continue reading The Ghost of Playoffs Past Still Haunt the Wild – Minnesota Wild

3 Key Takeaways From Wild’s Season-Ending Game 6 Loss to Golden Knights – Minnesota Wild

That’s it. The Minnesota Wild had their season ending by the hands of the Vegas Golden Knights and all it took was a 3-2 in Game 6 Thursday night.

Wild’s Season Is On The Line in Game 6 – Wilderness Walk

I’m expecting a victory tonight forcing game 7. We finally get a decent start time, but I’m delayed a day and won’t be watching for awhile. I’ll be on radio silence for a couple weeks. I’ve heard Mike Sullivan and the Penguins mutually decided to part ways. I’m expecting Guerin to make a huge push… Continue reading Wild’s Season Is On The Line in Game 6 – Wilderness Walk

The Wild Must Labour For the Flower – Minnesota Wild

The Minnesota Wild need to win – for one reason. Clickbait? Maybe, die-hard hockey fan. Trust me, your labour (spelled that way for a reason, foreshadowing for ya) will not be in vain. The State of Hockey. A rabid fan base. Next to utter futility in the playoffs. All valid but superficial reasons for this… Continue reading The Wild Must Labour For the Flower – Minnesota Wild

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

Marcus Foligno Is Playing Like A Moose In A China Shop This Postseason – Minnesota Wild

Back in 2017, when a (stop me if you’ve heard this before) capped-out Minnesota Wild team traded Jason Pominville for Marcus Foligno, Chuck Fletcher was hoping to get a playoff performer. Someone who could lay huge, crunching hits. Someone who could score dirty rebound goals, and who could fit in perfectly as the games increased… Continue reading Marcus Foligno Is Playing Like A Moose In A China Shop This Postseason – Minnesota Wild

Wild Need To Lock In Their PK Or Stay Out Of the Box – Minnesota Wild

This season, the Minnesota Wild implemented a successful tactic to lower their shorthanded goals against. Don’t take penalties.  The Wild ended this season ranked 30th overall for penalty kill, with a 72.4% success rate. However, they only have 612 penalties in minutes (PIM), compared to the Florida Panthers, who have the most with 843. Minnesota… Continue reading Wild Need To Lock In Their PK Or Stay Out Of the Box – Minnesota Wild

It’s Fine For the Wild To Play Jon Merrill Over Zeev Buium – Minnesota Wild

Coming into the Minnesota Wild’s series against the Vegas Golden Knights, Zeev Buium was a great choice to slot into the Wild defense. He’d never played a minute of NHL hockey, but the former Denver Pioneer offered the team badly-needed upside to keep up with Vegas’ talent. John Hynes clearly agreed, as Buium started the… Continue reading It’s Fine For the Wild To Play Jon Merrill Over Zeev Buium – Minnesota Wild
