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.

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
