As the prospect tournament in Traverse City, Michigan winds down with the 3rd place and Championship games to take place today, I had a few thoughts on the Wild’s play, and some individual players performances. The Minnesota Wild (but not really) are 2-1 in the three games prior to today’s match-up in the 3rd place game.
After being down 5-1 midway through the third period against the St. Louis Blues, I had basically given up on the team. Adam Vay was getting shelled, the hockey was mostly hideous, and you could tell the defense was discombobulated.
