That’s Wild
- It seemed like no matter what the Minnesota Wild were able to throw in the direction of the Carolina Hurricanes during their collision on Thursday night, the home team was able to solve it and throw it right back at them. In the 4-3 loss that has now earned them a 5-7-3 record for the season, the Wild had little lasting hope. [StarTribune]
- It’s difficult to load up a roster so full of rookies and have them all reach a level you want to play at. The Wild had to inject so much youth into this team this season but it’s not really panning out well and it’s at an awkward stage. [Hockey wilderness]
- We bear witness to The Marcus Johansson Renaissance. The veteran winger has been one of the better players on this team, a season where many fans questioned how deserving he is to even be on the roster. [Hockey Wilderness]
Off the trail…
- Ryan O’Reilly is turning back the clock. Turning back the clock to his time as a Buffalo Sabre where he questioned if he should even be playing hockey again and whether or not he feels like showing up. [TheScore]
- Brianna Decker is crediting a whole lot of her teammates’ efforts as she makes her way to the Hockey Hall of Fame. [NHL.com]
