That’s Wild
- In the dying minutes of last night’s Game 1 loss to the St. Louis Blues, the Minnesota Wild’s captain Jared Spurgeon delivered a vicious cross-check to the ankles of Pavel Buchnevich. Shortly after the final whistle, it was reported that the NHL’s Department of Player Safety will be looking at having a potential hearing with Spurgeon and that could result in a suspension.
