  • Let's Meet: Jared Spurgeon

    Plenty of blame to go around, from the coach to the goalies, and from the system to injuries. The coach isn't going anywhere and either is his system. The goalies have been lights out, while the team has failed them at every turn. Injuries can never, ever be an excuse in professional sports. Ever.

    First, a look at just the facts, ma'am.

     

    See? HockeyDB has him at only 5' 8", 172. The Islanders had him listed at 5' 8", 185. His current profile with the Wild has 5' 9" 185. Different tape measures, different scales. No one ever measures the same twice, right? The point we are trying to make here is this. He's not very big.

    He also has eight points in the past eight games with the Aeros, which means he has nose for the net, something the Wild desperately need right now.

    Borrowing a bit from the best source for all things Aeros, good friend Ms. Conduct and her friends at The Third Intermission:

    A power play QB that racks up points. Sounds promising. The next sentence scares me a bit. There aren't too many weeds to hide in at the NHL level. If you're out there, they know it, and they will hit you. Hard. Energy is good, the Wild need some of that, and hopefully he will be fun to watch.

    Finally, one more bit to borrow from T3I. A video produced by Spurgeon's agent shows that he is not afraid to throw a check, the sound positioning he uses, and that he will block a shot from anyone. Oh... and some of that offense.

     

    For the record, Spurgeon wears #46.
