The Minnesota Wild were most concerned about their blue line heading into the shortened 2013 NHL season, even with the addition of Ryan Suter, and it proved to be the place of most concern throughout the regular season and into the playoffs. Most of the problems can be attributed to youth and inexperience and that ...

Minnesota’s ...
Perhaps the Minnesota Wild’s first round exit at the hands of the President’s Trophy winning Chicago Blackhawks last week in five games was simply inevitable. It was definitely a ‘positive step’ for a franchise building for the future and one that was playing its first playoff hockey since 2008. However, losing the series quickly with ...
Niklas Backstrom, Josh Harding and Darcy Kuemper probably won’t decide who starts, who is on the bench and who is in the press box in Thursday night’s Game 5 against the Chicago Blackhawks by racing for empty chairs. The reality is perhaps more concerning. It may simply be decided by whoever is physically able to play ...
The Minnesota Wild enter tonight’s Game 4 match-up against the Chicago Blackhawks full of optimism after Jason Zucker’s overtime strike made it a 2-1 series on Sunday afternoon.

The Wild would need their rookies to step up and be counted in their first ever playoff action. That fact was only reinforced after Minnesota were edged out 2-1 in overtime in a fascinating and tightly ...
