Minnesota Wild vs. Chicago Blackhawks - The Morning After
With the rest of the state watching the Twins take it in the shorts from the White Sox, the Wild got some semblance of payback against another Chicago squad. The Wild won 3-2 in OT, thanks to two late goals by Stephane Veilleux. It's nice to see someone from the checking line rewarded for all the...
Wild Sign Kurtis Foster
The Minnesota Wild signed defenseman Kurtis Foster to a one-year deal worth $1.025 million. It doesn't surprise me that they kept him to a one year deal since they are saving up future dollars for Marian Gaborik, that and there are no guarantees that Foster will be a top player after his leg...
Minnesota Wild Season top 5 pluses and minus
I posted this list over on my MN Wild Freak blog and thought I better post it over here on Hockey Wilderness as well.Here is a list of the five positives I have taken away from the 2008 Minnesota Wild Season: The emergence of Mikko Koivu as a bona fide star. The continued development of Brent...
Minnesota Wild Playing with Energy
The key to the past four Minnesota Wild games and the Minnesota Wild winning streak is that the Wild are playing with incredible energy and the energy is contagious. Don’t get me wrong, the line of Branko Radivojevic, Stephane Veilleux and Mikko Koivu has played with energy and determination all...
Stephane Veilleux scores two of the five needed to beat the Vancouver Canucks
Wild 5, Canucks 4 Stephane Veilleux is quickly becoming one of my favorite Minnesota Wild players. He has the heart that some guys don’t, he has the perseverance that some guys don’t and now he finally has a two goal game (that some guys don’t). Veilleux scored two goals in the 5-4 shootout win...
Minnesota Wild lose to the Dallas Stars, second loss in a week at Xcel Energy Center
Wild 0, Stars 1 The Minnesota Wild lost to the Dallas Stars last night 1-zip and I was there to witness it. Dallas back-up goalie Mike Smith was excellent, much better than I had thought and much better than most of the Wild players had thought as well. The Wild did play hard. In fact Stephane...
Wild beat Phoenix Coyotes (11/28)
Wild 3, Coyotes 1 The Minnesota Wild beat the Phoenix Coyotes at the Xcel tonight 3-1. It was the first game back on the home ice for the Wild after the horrible Friday after Thanksgiving debacle vs. the Blue Jackets that caused Wild fans to boo their team off the ice, perhaps the first time in...
Minnesota Wild lose more than a game to the Vancouver Canucks
Wild 2, Canucks 6 The Minnesota Wild goalies had a tough night at General Motors Place in Vancouver, British Columbia, but so did Mikko Koivu and Stephane Veilleux.The Wild goalies (yes both follied under Canuck pressure) allowed 6 goals in a 6-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. The first period was...
Wild Injury Update
"And the hits just keep on coming" that’s a favorite movie line of mine from the Tom Crusie, Jack Nicholson flick A Few Good Men – I actually like it better than the "You can’t handle the truth" line that makes the movie famous. Both quotes fit my current Minnesota Wild mood regarding Wild team...
Wild Calgary Game Physical
Looking back at my pre-game prediction for the Wild Calgary game, MN Wild Freak predicted the Calgary Flames game would be a physical game for the Wild and it was. Besides the regular pushing and checking and aggressive play there were plenty of penalties. To prove my point, here is laundry list...
