Canadiens 2020-21 Defense: Who's In & Who's Out
July 4th, 2020 The Montreal Canadiens go into the next season with a large group of young defensemen trying to make the big club. Alexander Romanov is one of those young defenders that will undoubtedly make the Habs' roster next season, which will create a log jam on the backend - especially on the left side.

Folin Is the Key to Canadiens Trade, Not Weise
February 11th, 2019 True to his word, Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin has admirably played the trade market conservatively up to now. Despite appearances to the contrary, that sentiment extends to the modest blockbuster he swung with the Philadelphia Flyers, where he got depth-defenseman Christian Folin and re-acquired forward Dale Weise in...

A Good Option for Folin Swedish defenseman Christian Folin will enter the 2017-18 season as his eight seasons in North America, after playing at the USHL, NAHL, NCAA, AHL and NHL...
Wild Shouldn't Change a Thing
April 13th, 2017 Game 1 of the opening-round series between the Minnesota Wild and St. Louis Blues is mercifully over for the Wild. It took a little more than 77 minutes for the Blues to eek out a win despite being outshot by almost 30 shots. In spite of the end result, it's the Blues and not the Wild that needs to make adjustments before Game 2. The...
Nate Prosser: Wild's Unsung Hero
December 13th, 2016 Make it four victories in a row and five straight collecting points for the Minnesota Wild. The longest of either streak this season has been highlighted by both Devan Dubnyk's Vezina-caliber play and an impressive showing from nearly every defenseman, including seldom-used Nate Prosser. The Minnesota-born Prosser has seen his...
Domi Injured, Dineen Passes & More
December 10th, 2016 Arizona Coyotes' forward Max Domi has been placed on the injured reserve and is considered week-to-week, per head coach Dave Tippett. Domi left the Coyotes' game against the Calgary Flames on Thursday after being bloodied in a fight against Flames' forward Garnet...
Folin Injury Confuses Wild Defense
November 26th, 2016 Just as the Minnesota Wild's defense was returning to full health, another blow was delivered on Friday afternoon as Christian Folin exited early on during the first period with a knee injury.

Jonas Brodin Taken Off IR, May Be Wild's Best Deadline Acquisition
February 29th, 2016 Prior to the flurry of activity at the trade deadline, the Minnesota Wild activated defenseman Jonas Brodin from injured reserve. He's missed the team's last 12 games with a broken foot and has yet to play a game under new head coach John Torchetti. Brodin was a source of trade speculation this week, but stays puts as the Wild gear up...
Wild Recall Mike Reilly
December 2nd, 2015 The Minnesota Wild have given NCAA standout Mike Reilly the first recall of his NHL career, the team announced on Wednesday. They have reassigned defenseman Christian Folin to the Iowa Wild again -- they continue to want him to find his game in the AHL before he begins to require waivers, which will happen in 15 games -- and will be...
No Goalies Were Harmed in the Playing of This Game
September 23rd, 2014 I know it's nothing special and the preseason doesn't mean much, but it's still hockey and I'm excited about it. I hope most of you Minnesota Wild fans are excited about it, as well. The team may have lost tonight to the Winnipeg Jets, but the young club has some serious promise. That's very evident after watching the game...
Traverse City: Minnesota Wild Review
September 18th, 2014 The Minnesota Wild took to the 2014 Traverse City Prospect Tournament with a roster that looked to be extremely solid on the back end, but lacking star power up front. In a tournament featuring multiple teams with deep systems, the Wild were not expected to thrive. Teams like the Buffalo Sabres, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Detroit Red...
6 Candidates from the Minnesota Wild for a Breakout Season
September 4th, 2014 For many teams, making a Stanley Cup run means having a player or two have a breakout season. It's at least a component of the puzzle. In the salary cap-era, it's tough to have a team deep enough to make that run unless you have some players outperforming their contract early in their career. I'm thinking of Tyler Toffoli in 2013-14,...
