Article: Wild Recall Ohgren, Wallstedt Ahead of Road Trip


Recommended Posts

I'm a bit concerned about Brodin. Russo indicated that he was walking gingerly in the last few days from an upper-body injury, and they were planning to check if surgery might be necessary. Hopefully the injury is less significant than that, but it didn't sound like he might be returning in the near future.

Agreed.  That is concerning.  Brodin is easily our best D-man.  He can do it all.  Wish him the best and a quick return.

I assume the IR is retroactive? 

This all makes a lot of sense. Brodin, limping off with an upper body injury could be a pinched nerve in his back, or something similar. The injury is upper body, but it makes you look like it's lower.

I'm guessing the other A guys got sent down? I'd like to see Ohgren start being more aggressive on the forecheck and against the boards, he has the strength. I've seen him get run into from behind, and the reaction is similar to when Greenway was pissed off. Ogzy didn't move and just looked at who annoyed him. I'd also like to see his stick catch up a little. At least he could stickhandle a bit.

The Wall is the thing that makes the most sense. These decisions get made in the cone of silence and we never hear anything. I'm betting that someone tweaked something on Saturday and this was why The Wall was scratched on Saturday afternoon. You have to read the actions, not the words. My guess here would be it's Fleury since Goose played that night, and didn't seem to be hampered. Charlotte has a major airport, so catching a flight to MSP would not have been a problem for The Wall had we needed him on Saturday, baby Wild's game started at 4pm eastern. 

The tweak may have been something, or may be nothing, but I'll bet we see The Wall backing up Goose tonight.
