Kaprizov Going To Get Auston Matthews Money – Wilderness Walk

That’s Wild On Monday’s episode of 32 Thoughts, Elliotte Friedman spent some time discussing Kirill Kaprizov. Not his future with the Minnesota Wild specifically and if the team is looking to re-sign him, because of course they are; but it was about specific dollar amounts for his next deal that will start in the 2026-27… Continue reading Kaprizov Going To Get Auston Matthews Money – Wilderness Walk

Joel Eriksson Ek Is Still Quietly Driving Winning For the Wild – Minnesota Wild

Gamethread: Wild vs. Kings (7:00 p.m.) – Minnesota Wild Game Threads

The visiting Los Angeles Kings have certainly won a whole lot, but is tonight against the Minnesota Wild, their tipping point? A team can only go for so long with a goaltending tandem of David Rittich and Darcy Kuemper, and their lineup appears to somewhat be in flux.  The Wild should come at them hard… Continue reading Gamethread: Wild vs. Kings (7:00 p.m.) – Minnesota Wild Game Threads

Liam Ohgren Is Showing Us the Difference Between A Good Prospect and A Great One – Minnesota Wild

In recent seasons, Minnesota Wild fans have been spoiled by seeing what a future superstar looks like in their first NHL games. Kirill Kaprizov scored an overtime winner in his NHL debut, Brock Faber looked right at home in playoff action, and Matt Boldy catalyzed Kevin Fiala’s career year in 2021-22.  It’s safe to say… Continue reading Liam Ohgren Is Showing Us the Difference Between A Good Prospect and A Great One – Minnesota Wild

Is Kirill Kaprizov Holding the Wild Together? – Ep. 15 – Minnesota Wild

The Wild Are Finally Bill Guerin’s Kind of Team – Minnesota Wild

Over the past three seasons, the Minnesota Wild haven’t been what Bill Guerin has wanted them to be. Guerin told Jared Spurgeon three years ago that it was “all about winning.” That team set a franchise record with 113 points but blew a 2-1 series lead and lost in six games to the St. Louis… Continue reading The Wild Are Finally Bill Guerin’s Kind of Team – Minnesota Wild

Is the Zach Bogosian Bubble Bursting? – Minnesota Wild

      When the Minnesota Wild acquired Zach Bogosian early last season, it felt like they’d cast a player with the right look into the wrong role. If you were a director looking for an actor to fill the part of “Big Shutdown Defenseman” and Bogosian walked in, you’d hire him on the spot. Sure, his… Continue reading Is the Zach Bogosian Bubble Bursting? – Minnesota Wild

Mats Zuccarello Is Turning Back the Clock – Minnesota Wild

Kaprizov Leads Wild To Win Over Sharks – Wilderness Walk

Wild have had a schedule that is somewhere middle of the pack in difficulty so far and are 3rd in the league for points percentage, behind Winnipeg and Carolina.

The Wild’s Defense Is Good. So Why Can’t They Kill Penalties? – Minnesota Wild

The Minnesota Wild have re-established their defensive identity this season, ranking second in the league in goals against per minute with elite underlying metrics to back up that performance.  They’ve abandoned Dean Evason’s spread-out, high-flying offense for a more structured, low-event product. Rather than trading defense for more offensive chances, they rely on their best… Continue reading The Wild’s Defense Is Good. So Why Can’t They Kill Penalties? – Minnesota Wild

Mikey Milne Could Be the Wild’s Newest Piranha – Minnesota Wild

The Minnesota Wild’s “Not Weird. Wild” ad campaign is getting a lot of love, but for my money, no local sports ad in history can compare with putting Nick Punto in an aquarium, which the Minnesota Twins did back in 2006.

Daemon Hunt Recalled With Jonas Brodin Questionable – Wilderness Walk

Another thing. Ogie in the AHL, has four goals in four games. His shot is NHL level.

Against CHI, -2… Continue reading Daemon Hunt Recalled With Jonas Brodin Questionable – Wilderness Walk
