    That's Wild

    • Two Minnesota Wild teammates took their built-in chemistry to international ice on Thursday night. Matt Boldy and Brock Faber were extremely solid and then connected on the eventual game-winning goal for Team USA against Finland for their first game at the 4 Nations tournament. Led by these two players, are we seeing this new, younger generation of Americans take flight? [The Athletic]

     

     

    • Jesper Wallstedt was once arguably the top Wild prospect for some time and was destined to be this team's starter for the next decade. Now 22 years old, and he hasn't really moved the needle even in the American League. Should we be concerned? [Hockey Wilderness]
    • Zeev Buium finds himself on another top prospect list -- surprise, surprise. For The Athletic's Scott Wheeler, the Wild's defenseman prospect is the second-best drafted prospect in all of hockey. [The Athletic]

    Off the trail...

    • More from USA's win over Finland: The Tkachuk brothers didn't start the game on the same line, but quickly found themselves together on a line with Jack Eichel and was running rampant. Could we see that trio stick together against Canada on Saturday? [Sportsnet]
    • After the loss to the Americans, Finland is now mulling over some changes to the lineup. Could we see a change in the crease? Maybe some shuffling of the forward lines? [NHL.com]

    Thought Faber looking kinda lost and timid last night at times. He went from college hockey to playing the world's best in less than two years though.  Boldy actually was tossing his weight around last night I was pleasantly surprised. Tchauk bros are fun to watch. Brady would totally change the Wild for the better. Great hockey being played in this tournament so far. Wish Russia was involved.

    you are right about Faber through the first period and half. After that he was a force on the blue line playing well, in my opinion.
