Being back in Minnesota seems like old times for Stars' Modano
If this turns out to be Modano's last season, it would be very fitting for his NHL career to end here in MN. (Sunday Nov 8 | post #1)
Minnesota Wild players defend their speed
Poulliot & Sheppard have already had more chances than deserved. I thought Smith was very solid on Saturday night and didn't shy away from contact. I didn't notice Hilbert much, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing...it means he wasn't the culprit in opponent goals. (Monday Oct 26 | post #6)
Accountability is a nice start. Richards comments are so much better than the old mind game garbage that JL used to employ. Its a good sign that players that are taking responsibility when they play a bad game. How they perform in the next game will be the key indicator as to whether its lip service or something the players take to heart. As far as Harding goes, he played poorly. The team in front of him played even worse. He just needs one good game and he will be back in form. First game for a new coach and management, on the road, and a lousy performance by the rest of the squad. He gets a pass from me on this one. (Oct 10, 2009 | post #3)
Wild expected to sign 'pure goal scorer' Petr Sykora after tryout
I love this, but how will they fit him under the cap? (Sep 15, 2009 | post #1)
If the collection of crooks and meatheads that already own NHL teams want this guy left out of the club, that is good enough for me that he belongs IN THE CLUB. Phoenix vs Canada...Bankrupt vs Solvent...Bettman vs anyone over 3 feet tall. 'nuff said. (Aug 12, 2009 | post #1)
Minnesota Wild's Niklas Backstrom a finalist for Vezina Trophy
Much deserved honor for Backstrom. He clearly did more with less compared to the other two. I think Mason will get the rookie of the year, but GMs have a history of wanting to reward veterans moreso than younger players so I think Thomas will get this one. A very good argument can be made for any of the three. (Apr 28, 2009 | post #4)
Democratic campaign group sets up Web site targeting Michele Ba...
Corner a scared animal and the animal will attack. The lefties see something in Bachmann that scares the %%% out of them...I don't blame them. If more Republicans would start behaving like Republicans, the lefties would lose their stranglehold on government and all their free loader friends would get booted off the public payroll and be forced to go out and earn a living. The sadest thing is the complete lack of respect shown by the lefties for someone who stands up for their beliefs. I could not stand Wellstone's political positions, but I had a great deal of respect for him as he was willing to stand up for an 'unpopular' opinion because it was what he believed. Even though I am on the right, I would prefer an honest & outspoken Democrat to a double-talking Republican. At least you know what to expect. (Apr 25, 2009 | post #20)
Minnesota Wild still coming to grips over departure of original...
I would LOVE it if Dougie Do Nothing were to land in Colorado. It would be nice to have a team in the NW that we could count on for settling for a run at 8th in the conference and a first round playoff exit. DR did a nice job his first couple years. JL did a nice job even a bit longer than that. For an expansion franchise, they overachieved their first couple years. But, we aren't an expansion franchise any longer and DR didn't realize that. Thank goodness Liepold had the coconuts to pull the trigger. Imagine the disaster this would be if the first owner didn't cash out... (Apr 20, 2009 | post #7)
Minnesota Wild re-sign John Scott
Good signing. I can only presume that the one year is to allow the new GM to make a determination on a longer deal. Otherwise, I would have thought you would want at least a couple from him...especially at such a low annual salary. (Apr 20, 2009 | post #2)
Wild pound Predators 8-3, wait on fate of playoff hopes
Tootoo continues to exhibit what a dispicable human being he is. His throw elbow at the end of the hit against Fritche showed his intent. I hope Fritche is ok because that type of hit can end a career. Tootoo better get fined & suspended to the extent that this POS gets it. Aggressive and energetic and antagonizing is all part of the game and makes it fun to love 'em or hate 'em, but this guy is scum. I did get a good laugh when Tootoo started in with Zidlicky and it was like Zidlicky was saying 'no, your not going with me...fight him!' as Scott put a mitt in Tootoo's face. I think Scott had him by a good foot in height. Shockingly, Tootoo turtled and nothing happened. I sure hope Scott gets a contract from the Wild for next year. (Apr 11, 2009 | post #10)
Wild stay in playoff hunt with dominating victory over Stars
So, completely screwing up the announcement will become our version of Philly's God Bless America for good karma before the game. ;-) HUGE ovation followed by: 'It's time...(crickets). ..to play...(crickets). ..hockey!' It was hilarious! Not quite the f-bomb that TPaw dropped a couple years back, but solid humor. Important win...2 to go. (Apr 8, 2009 | post #4)
Nick Schultz's eye injury a blow to Minnesota Wild
The guys on NBC are usually very good on in game stuff like this. I didn't hear them say anything about Schultz. Was it a stick, a puck, something else...what happened? (Apr 6, 2009 | post #1)
Red Wings down Wild with late goal
Another shocker...Wild lose close game due to bad decision by Zidlicky or Bergeron (this time Zidlicky). Their offensive contributions have been more than outdone by their defensive breakdowns (Bergeron moreso than Zidlicky). Too bad. A point out of this game would have actually put the Wild into a viable position for the playoffs. Now, like Homer said above, put a fork in them. Catching the teams ahead of them isn't good enough. Thanks to all the poor performances against (supposed) lesser opponents, the Wild will lose the tiebreaker against almost all the teams they are currently fighting against. (Apr 5, 2009 | post #8)
Moving Foster may be what "is necessary" thanks to the wealth of forward talent DR has given this team. Mr. Liepold, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE replace DR. On a somewhat related thought: Anyone else think that if Lemaire is not the Wild coach after this season that Gaborik may stay? (Apr 5, 2009 | post #1)
Minnesota Wild sign prospect, send goalie back to minors
You know, there was this one time I thought I was wrong...turns out I was mistaken. ;-) (Mar 31, 2009 | post #4)
