After strong start, the Wild are wilting
(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. With AP Photos.) By DAVE CAMPBELL AP Sports Writer The Minnesota Wild are bewildered by their latest loss.
They shot 65 times, and 35 of them were on target. Only one went in the net. This is the way a once-promising season is going for the sputtering Wild, who not only wasted a Saturday night at home full of stellar scoring chances but suffered...

Shots come, but goals don't for Wild
ST. PAUL Minnesota Wild forward Dany Heatley was all alone behind Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Steve Mason. Matt Cullen fired the puck down to a waiting Heatley, who had a wide-open net and a chance to put Minnesota ahead, 2-1, in the second period.
Heatley's stick then broke and another Wild scoring chance was missed. Unfortunately it's been a familiar story for Minnesota...

Wild lose 4th straight to the lowly Columbus Blue Jackets 3-1
I have been playing video game hockey from the very beginning. My first system was a Coleco Telstar that was from the late 1970's where you could either play Tennis (i.e. Pong) or its opposite, Hockey which more or less was an video game version of air hockey. You can watch it on the YouTube clip below. In this primitive game, you don't even really shoot the puck, you...

Canucks vs. Minnesota Wild blog: Love’ em & Hate’ em
Nice Moustache!
The best part of the NHL‘s realignment plan that lasted for about six weeks was that the Vancouver Canucks and the Minnesota Wild would go from meeting six times a year to two.
I have this theory, and it’s pretty out there, that Minnesota is a boring hockey team to watch.
Hosting the Wild is a mundane experience but playing in Minnesota is a soul sucking endeavour...
