After a very strong start for the Minnesota Wild, an angry and determined Rangers team almost became the second team to steal away a 3-0 lead from the home club. The Capitals, as always, pretty much rolled all over the Wild in a one sided match up, putting a pretty big blemish on Minnesota's stellar home record. We also talk about Kirill Kaprizov's Olympic hat trick, and the continued positive signs for some other late Wild draft picks!

After a couple of great games against the Tampa Bay Lightening and Ottawa Senators, the Minnesota Wild spilled coffee all over their brand new shirt.

The Minnesota Wild would get a split the past weekend, starting with a dazzling performance against the the Winnipeg Jets, followed by an up and down performance against Vancouver, resulting in an OT loss. The Wild will face all eastern conference teams the remainder of January, which at times bodes well for this club.

One of the things that has been plaguing the Wild most of this season has been puck possession, you can't win often with the puck in your zone most of the game.

After a very valiant effort in Nashville that fell short, as the penalty woes came back to haunt them in the third period, the Wild stepped up the next two games at home. Matt Cullen and Eric Staal had muti-goal games as Minnesota dominated the puck almost the whole game. Nino Niederreiter in his return vs Buffalo scored early and often in his second career Hat Trick!

The Minnesota Wild have looked like a significantly different team of late, in particular the last few divisional games. Alex Staylock continues to stand on his head, and Devan Dubnyk returned in style vs Nashville! Mikael Granlund, who had been on an uptrend, exploded with a hat trick against Pekka Rinne!

Stay out of the #@%&! box! As coach Bruce Boudreau said this past week, as endless penalties plagued the Wild time and time again. Puck possession, being short-handed, and stupid turnovers are the difference from this season to last, and it shows.

Alex Staylock had a week he will not soon forget. The Wild goaltender was in net against his former team the San Jose Sharks for the first time, and survived a third period onslaught from the ever talented Brent Burns, and Thomas Hertl among others. Dubnyk would have to leave the Calgary game after stopping ten Flames shots, Staylock held down the fort, leading to another win. With Dubnyk still out, Staylock would get yet more satisfaction, shutting out the other team that pushed him away, with a 2-0 win vs Toronto.

The Minnesota Wild came out of the past week with a winning record, as Matt Dumba had two overtime goals vs the hated Blue and Anahiem Ducks. Dumba, Dubnyk and the Wild had an incredibly sloppy third period in L.A, as Marian Gaborik looked as healthy as he's been in years, burying his 400th career goal along the way.

In an up and down week, Mikael Granlund and Nino Niederreiter stepped up in a big way, despite the ongoing struggles of Devan Dubnyk in net. Alex Staylock in returning from his child's birth, continues to stand strong between the pipes, which will bring much needed rest and competition for the for mentioned struggling Dubnyk.

The one word to describe the Wild this past week, though only two games, has been sloppy! With five scorers missing from the lineup, the Wild still are able to score 4 and 3 goals, yet can't hang on in frustrating fashion.

The season started out with Zach Parise out. Just one game in, Granlund would join him. Just two games later, Nino Niederreiter, Charlie Coyle, and Marcus Foligno would drop like flies in Chicago. Opportunity is knocking for a few minor league players and top prospect Luke Kunin, can they make the most of it? facebook.com/bravethewild facebook.com/mnwplayers @bravethewild paladinolive@yahoo.com Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877
