Wild 2013-14 season

[Bear55]

and welcome to the Wild Christian Folin.

Sounds like a lot of teams were after him, if the kids pans out he is just what we need.

[CaptainMusky]

I agree! I think Blum could possibly turn into something too if given a little more opportunity. I havent seen him play much and the few times he did play he had some flashes of both quality and rustiness. I am hoping with more time he can solidify himself.

It is definitely good to have a rotation of guys you can plug in and out depending on injuries and the opponent.

Next year is looking brighter already. Excited to see what they do this post season AFTER we make the playoffs and create some havoc of course.

[OnAFly]

Well, hopefully we can keep the streak alive....of the Wild winning while I'm out of the country!

[Bear55]

Dallas has been killing everyone lately, with our schedule they could pass us. Have to keep the mojo rolling and beat Chicago at home!!!

[CaptainMusky]

I know, they have been playing really tough. 4 pts up on both Phoenix and Dallas with Dallas having one game in hand.

It will be down to the wire. Wild have a very tough schedule from here on out. Hopeful that some of the teams they play will be resting some guys.

Here's to LA beating the 'Yotes tonight!!!

[Bear55]

Ugg sounds like Granlund might have gotten another concussion, please be ok!!! Many just when Koivu gets going now we might have lost Granlund, it just never ends.

Marion Pierre Granlund....another good player bitten by the "here we go again" bug. Tough to replace, but who knows, maybe with someone more physical in there we might be just fine.....or better. This is getting very interesting as we near the finish line.

[Bear55]

Nino was injured last game as well as Kuemper in practice. I am hearing Harding is practicing again, things are getting crazy!!!

[PoorWordUsage]?? whats with the LA kings and concussions??? Pominville got wiped out at the end of last season by the kings and that hurt.... Hopefully its not a serious concussion

[archerystud]

I do think they've been playing much better and if Harding can return to his early season form I think it would be a HUGE boost.

I really like the Folin pickup but that's probably for next year.

[OnAFly]

Lets see what Haula can do in the top 6. Maybe bring some of that scoring touch he had with the Gophers

[schmitty3]

All these "upper-body" injuries for Granlund are becoming very concerning. We saw what it did to PMB, just hope Granlund doesn't have the same fate.

[OnAFly]

He seems to be trying to play physically. He needs to stop doing that and keep to his game. He's small, fast, and crafty. No need to try to run guys that are 4 inches taller and have 30lbs on him.

[Bear55]

Sounds like Towes and Kane might be out tonight, HAVE to take advantage.

Still no word on Granlund, hopefully its not as bad and maybe he just misses a game or two.

Yep, need to capitalize on this one with those two out. The Kings helped us last night and downed Phoenix. They have played one more game than us now, but Dallas one fewer. Its a tight race, but 2 pts tonight with 5 remaining games (after tonight) and it will be increasingly hard to not make the playoffs. Dallas and Phoenix play each other the last game so someone is going to get 2 pts out of that one and possibly one team with 1 pt. Its getting tight!!

[Bear55]

Nino is playing today so that is good, Haula to the 2nd , Heatley still on the bench.

[10,000 Casts]

Niedereiter Out - Heatley in... Let's see how the All Star handles being sat for a few games... Will he come out and work hard and contribute or has he given up?

[Bear55]

Just saw that.

[OnAFly]

I wonder if that's just them being cautious with nino after that pinball hit he took.

On a side note, Tiger beer might provide the worlds worst hangover.

ha, I have drank many a tiger beer in my day. Maybe not enough to induce a hangover but I really like that beer. I have consultants from Malaysia who smuggled (not really) me 6 packs when they would go home before I could buy it locally.

My wife toured the brewery while at the huge air show a few years back too.

[Bear55]

*(^&*! But happy to get a point while Dallas lost tonight and Phoenix lost last night. Padding the lead ever so slightly.

Koivu to the backhand in the shootout. Imagine that.

agreed! Time 1000000000! Hr needs to switch it up.

[10,000 Casts]

Bollig deserves a suspension for that hit on Parise. That could have ended our season right there and they couldn't even retaliate... Sad..

[solbes]

OnAFly - Hangover beer = fusel alcohols. The beer was too warm during the first 24 hours of fermentation, which is not surprising for a beer made in Singapore

+2 on Koivu and that backhand trick he does EVERY single time he goes on shootout. I am floored that he still fools people with it. He could acutally make it work in his favor to fake it and switch back to forehand. Just doing that 30% of the time would have goalies guessing.

Happy with the point last night too. Missed most of the game, started watching halfway through the third. Doesn't get any easier with Pitt, Winnipeg, Boston, St Louis, and Preds. Gotta keep accumulating points to stay in 7th. Wish Anaheim would lose a couple of games to assure St Louis getting the top spot.
