So do the Wild fire the head coach Mike Yeo?
So it begins…Will he stay or will he go? I think that Mike Yeo is a good hockey coach. In my opinion, I think the Minnesota Wild are going in the right direction, I think a change at the head coaching position at this time is counterproductive. The Wild have a lot of good players that are ready to make a contribution to their program, in the minors. Jason Zucker, Charlie Coyle...
Wild rookies get valuable playoff experience
ST. PAUL, Minn. One of the key factors many used against the Minnesota Wild entering the playoffs was the lack of postseason experience from the young Wild.
With starting goaltender Niklas Backstrom being injured in pregame warmups, the lineup for Game 1 of Minnesota's series against the Chicago Blackhawks included goaltender Josh Harding and his one career playoff game. The...
John Jaeckel: Here's What I Know
Follow me @jaeckel
Itâs not time yet for the Hawks or their fans to panic. When, or if, they lose a game on home ice, then there is something to be seriously worried about.
That said, Jason Zuckerâs goal in OT yesterday was clearly one of the turning points in this series. Instead of going up 3-0 with a virtual stranglehold, the Hawks now hold a 2-1 lead and Minnesota...
Minnesota Rookie Jason Zucker’s OT Goal Beats Blackhawks (Video)
The Minnesota Wild celebrated their first home playoff victory in over five years Sunday night, but it wasn’t easy. Wild rookie Jason Zucker took his opportunity in over time to put the heavily favored Chicago Blackhawks away.
Zucker trailed the puck, which was being moved behind the net, and crept to the front of the net virtually unseen. He knew that he’d have only a split...
Tracking the Playoffs: Wild vs. Blackhawks Game 3
Both of the afternoon games yesterday followed a similar pattern. We had two 1 vs. 8 matchups with the lower seed vastly outplaying the higher ranked team and both games going to overtime. The difference between the two games is unlike the Islanders, the Wild actually got rewarded for their efforts and were able to finish off the Blackhawks in overtime to stay alive in the series...

Your Afternoon NHL Overtimes...Minnesota and Pittsburgh
((HT: NHL on NBC))
The Pittsburgh Penguins went down 2-0 in the first playoff game at Nassau Coliseum since 1742.

Chris Kunitz's second goal of the day gave the Pens the win and a 2-1 series lead with Game 4 Monday...
CLUTCH SHOT
Jason Zucker wins it for the Wild
After blowing a 2-1 lead late in the third period, the Minnesota Wild were back on their heels at the start of overtime. But, Wild forward Matt Cullen made an awesome play from his stomach to not only keep control of the puck but to get it to Jason Zucker. Chicago Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford was down early and that gave Zucker some room up top to shoot. Despite his horrible...
Jason Zucker game winner against the Blackhawks
For the most part I thought that the Minnesota Wild were the better team today, except for the two-four minute period of time where the Minnesota Wild tried to sit on the lead and it came back to bite them in the back side.
Zucker: On the game winning goal "I Just tried to get it to the net and tried to go up high cause it was open and it did." #mnwild

Video- Jason Zucker With The OT Winner For Minnesota
The win puts the Wild down 1-2 in their series with the Chicago Blackhawks.
Jason Zucker levels Brent Seabrook and then stands over him....
In the first two games of the series the Minnesota Wild got outhit, out-hustled and were beat to the puck in every instance. Through two periods of play the Wild have been better. I think it's a fitting way to end the period. Nice hit by Wild forward Jason Zucker as he put a nice hit on Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook
Zucker lifts Wild to 3-2 overtime win over Chicago
"You've got a way to keep me on your side, you give me cause for love I can not hide, For you know I'd even try to turn the tide, because your mine, I walk the line" are the lyrics to Johnny Cash's famous song I Walk the Line. Right now the Wild are walking a fine line between having a chance and playoff oblivion. After their most recent loss, a 5-2 defeat...
Wild drop Game One in 2-1 overtime thriller in Chicago
"They tell you they love you, like a spider loves a fly, promise you that you're safe but never look you in the eye, manipulated, regulated, crippled and controlled, Remember this, you're not alone, you're not alone you're not alone, Come on, can you hear it? The call of the Wild, Stand up now and fight back, Wipe off their plastic smiles. Why listen to the...

Brad Ratgen: Houston, We Have a Problem! It All Comes Down to Tonight.
Wild: âHouston, We Have a Problemâ
Aeros: âAgain!?!?!?!?!!?!?!â
Jason Zucker and Stephan Veilleux have been recalled after recently being sent down. At this point, shuttling players back and forth just looks ridiculous. If they werenât good enough to be here 2 games ago, what makes them important enough now? It just shows the level of dispair currently...

Corey Perry On His Suspension
from Eric Stephens of Ducks Blog,
Corey Perry figured that he would receive some form of discipline from the NHL for his hit on Minnesota's Jason Zucker and the possibility of him being out of the Ducks' lineup was realistic.
But a four-game suspension? That one didn't enter the winger's mind.
"I think it’s caught a lot of people off guard,"...
