Wild 2013-14 season

[OnAFly]

Doesn't happen often, that's for sure. Funny remark by Yeo, he was gonna go top shelf

Pretty solid game from what I saw last night. Keep in mind this was from the worst team in the league with only one win at home. Lets see what tbey do against the Caps.

[10,000 Casts]

Konopka claimed off waivers by Buffalo. Sounds like he had been on the trade block since last year and no one want to give up anything for him.

[CaptainMusky]

So this move clears 500,000 in cap space. I believe they were like $1.5M below prior to this move. If there were any way to swing a deal for Miller I would be ecstatic.

In the off season go after vanek.

[OnAFly]

Its been reported that Fletch has been trying to make a trade, so tbis is interesting. ZK was picked up by Buffalo, BTW.

Backstrom for Miller would be nice. I think that puts us over the cap unless they can do a little magic.

[knoppers]

thanks to me the wild won. I decided to play holtby on my fantasy team tonight, looks like it worked.

[OnAFly]

Wow, that is not good for your week

That was probably the most entertaining Wild game I've seen sine the 5-0 comeback vs CHI years ago. Now for the real test, road games against playoff teams. Let's all hope that Koivu isn't injured badly. He looked like he was in pain the rest of the game.

Suter with the hat trick!

[yakfisher]

We decided about 2:30 yestday to go to the game. What a great decision. The wild let those 2 goals in early and I thought it was going to be a long night. Then a couple of power plays later and it was getting exciting. With about 10 to go in the game I thought they were going to give it all back with the dominant push the Caps made and the style of D the wild were trying to play. The best part was the 2 D men on the rush combining for Suter's 3rd goal. It was sweet and we needed those points!

[Bear55]

Didn't see that coming, Suter on fire! Also nice to see Zucker and Nino on the board.

[Bear55]

So..... Koivu had to have surgery and is out 4 weeks. Parise still out and Harding not back yet. Hopefull Backs picks it up short term, looking scary out there if Suter can't score a trick every night. Time for the kiddos to step it up.

[CaptainMusky]

dam!!! They need to start wearing some sort of guard on their ankles/feet. Some players/teams do.

It didnt even look like as hard of a shot when compared to Parise. He took a blast and you could hear it crack.

[fishing tech]

Harding, Koivo and Parise are all on IR for now.

[Bear55]

And we are on the road against the Kings, not feeling good about this one but hope they can surprise us.

[schmitty3]

Well wasn't the most convincing win, but we'll take anything we can get right now.

Who was that in net!?!? Kuemper looked like a completely different player. Went from no confidence at all to all the confidence in the world, and even flipped the puck after the glove save in the shootout. I hope Yeo sticks with him to continue to grow his confidence, cause imo that's all that's been holding him back.

And man I love Nino. He's becoming my favorite player on the team!

[CaptainMusky]

I agree on both accounts. Kuemper needed that game in the worst way and against a decent team too on the road. Had it been buffalo I would have been ho him but that is huge for him.

El nino rocks.

[Bear55]

Wow that is the Kuemper we love! Went to bed early so nice to be surprised this morning with a W. Can't say enough good things about Nino this season, kid is big, stakes well, hits, scores, and is a pretty good passer as well. All that and he is only 21, we flat our STOLE him from the Islanders!!!!

[MN BassFisher]

Kuemper shined last night! Great for the kids confidence. I'll be excited to see him get a bit more playing time. Nino is a good young all around player, he's a fun player to watch on the ice. Let's hope that win on the road can snap us back to the right track!

[bbfenatic]

Great win! Big one tomorrow against Phx, win and we are back in the hunt for a playoff spot...lose and they put distance between us. Happy for Keumper...we needed him to step up and he did....Nino rocks!

[yakfisher]

I'm glad a couple of young guys stepped up. I hope they can maintain that level through the end of the season. I hope they don't hang Kuemper out to dry the next time he is on the ice. It was like watching a college game for part of the night. Kuemper was a wall in the shoot out and Nino got Quick to seriously commit to take the extra point for the Wild.

Best trade ever, a mature grinder for a young talented forward. Don't get me wrong I wish Clutterbuck the best but, man we scored with this deal. Every time Nino plays he makes Garth Snow look like the moron he is. I'm glad the Iles know how to develop talent. Giving up on that no talent Niederietter and just think how long it may have taken Okposo to have a break out season under horrible management. I hate the Gophers as much as the next Sioux fan but that,"unable to develop talent," comment still irritates me!

[Bear55]

Kind of a must win in regulation game tonight! Need to take some point from Phoenix, they have a few games in hand on us.

[schmitty3]

Big win tonight! Hope Zucker is ok, but it didn't look good. This is becoming a nightly occurrence.

[yakfisher]

Shot looked higher than the foot so hopefully it's just a contusion and nothing is broken.

[CaptainMusky]

The look on Yeo's face when it happened said it all. It was like what's next?

IDK if the players will wear those boots or if they would even help in some situations but all these foot injuries may force them to avoid blocking shots.

Great win though and another hat trick.

So they had gone 6 games without a win and now 4 wins in a row.

Even their last loss was a decent game overall losing to the blues.

This was an important win but they desperately need both this weekend to create a little separation.

[BartmanMN]

Sweet win. Backy looked strong in net. Nino was everywhere again. I thought Suter looked under the weather or something as there were a couple plays that did not look 'suter-esk'. Good to see Brodzi rip that puck for a goal, he could use the confidence.
