Minnesota Wild General Discussion 2024-25

[Arturia Pendragon]

The last half of the game yesterday impressed the heck out of me. Was a total war… felt like both teams were skating through 8-9 opponents at once (NZ especially).
And on the back end of a back-to-back?

Great resilience (and conditioning)!

I think Ek is hurt. Wrist or hand injury. Seems to have trouble with the puck. Skating seems fine but the hands are not there

I think something his up with his knee. His skating has really taken a hit

He is hesitant and reluctant to engage. Something is hampering him but it must be something that can’t be made worse by playing on it

Russo on WSITH saying the Brodin has something similar going on as to what Spurgeon had last season…

What kind of injury did Spurgs have last year? He was out for almost all season but i can't remember reading what kind of injury it was.

Whatever it was, it required both hip and back surgery.

Rumors in the swedish press says he's gonna play in four nations. The Wild fo must be ok with this if true.

I will be shocked if he plays for SWE, given his injury and the strength of their D.

Apparently Middleton said in chicklets that his whole back is blown out

 

[Sad People]

How long is the NHL on a break for during the four nations tournament? Id really like to see our guys not play and rest and try and heal up a bit during the tournament.

Man i wish some of the boys who are playing would take that time off and rest and heal up. Thats a good amount of time to try their best to get back to 100%.

I don't know what blown out means. If it's a swollen muscle/liquid that it is pressing on a nerve it can be incredibly painful, and almost impossible to play with, but can have next to no long term effects once the swelling goes down. If it has something to do with the actual spine, like a bulging or slipped disc or worn disc cartilage, it can be another thing altogether.

Our most important player will be resting.

No, I actually think Gus is getting the nr 1 spot in team Sweden.
