The Wild really need to come out and be physical in this game. When guys like Nino, Coyle, Cooke, and Brodzy use their size and actually hit people we play much better. LA isn't going to back down and if we aren't ready for this game we are going to get run over.
#mnwild is looking into backup options for tonight. Chuck Fletcher: "We won't dress Bruno, for sure!"
I really hope Brown is one of the players that is on the receiving end of one of these hits (clean of course).
Kuemper Injured?
Michael Russo @Russostrib 3m
Kuemper update expected later once #mnwild has more info. Obviously an injury, not an illness
Oh for the love of #$@%!!!
With the exception of Harding's illness, we have to start looking at our medical staff and trainers. They've made some costly mistakes over the years. We have guys who are allowed to come back too early, and others who are tweaking things way too often.
Why can't we ever have nice things!!!!
Oh I definitely expect guys to be beat up this time of year, but there's a difference between being banged up and not being able to play. Kemps can't even back-up Bryz. That's a problem since we're fighting for our playoff lives.At this point of the season no one is 100% healthy. If players are saying that they are ok and good to go there isn't that much to do.
@Russostrib: #mnwild signs Rob Laurie to pro tryout to backup tonight. 43-year-old joins his 3rd franchise in less than a calendar year (goalie for hire)
Darcy Kuemper sustained upper-body injury in today's skate. Chuck Fletcher may provide further update later, but so far, day-to-day #mnwild
I'll take upper body over lower body.
Unless its "Upper-body"
