Stars of the night --Jarome Iginla, hat trick in Calgary's 5-2 win over Los Angeles. --Tomas Vokoun made 32 saves and Florida held off the Rangers, 3-2, for its fifth win in six games. --Filip Kuba, four points (one goal) and Daniel Alfredsson two goals and an assist in Ottawa's 5-3 win over ...

Stars of the night --Carey Price, 32 saves to lead Montreal past Washington, 3-2. Missed most of the end of the third period but sounded pretty hectic. In the last two minutes, the Caps had a power play, pulled their goalie and Price was without his stick for a while. --Owen Nolan, 2 goals in ...

By KiPA I've never really entirely bought into the "injuries can't be used as an excuse" theory. If it's one injury, maybe two, then it's a little more valid. It takes more than one player to make a team, after all. But there's a point where injuries become a reason if they're plentiful enough. ...

Two videos for your viewing pleasure. The first resulted in a two-game suspension for Dallas' James Neal. The second resulted in no games missed for Colorado's Ryan Wilson. Neal's hit: Wilson's: Survey says: What the eff? How did Wilson escape suspension when he clearly targeted the ...

Stars of the night --Tuomo Ruutu, 4 assists, Tim Gleason 2 goals as Carolina wipes out a 3-0 deficit in a 6-5 shootout win over Toronto. That sound you heard was that of many people, including the unnamed author of this post, jumping off the Jonas Gustavsson bandwagon as the Hurricanes overtake ...

By KiPA Back in late June , I discussed each team's goaltending situation in an attempt to analyze where Minnesota backup goalie Josh Harding might end up if he were to be traded. That analysis was done before the NHL draft, let alone the opening of free agency, and some situations have ...
NHL
Stars of the night --Michael Frolik, 2 goals in Florida's 6-2 win over Buffalo. This was a 3-2 game with two minutes left. Frolik scored a power play goal to make it 4-2, the Panthers got an empty-net goal, then added another one later. --James Neal, 2 assists; Dallas beats Detroit, 3-1. I'm ...

By KiPA Streaks come to an end sometime. Phoenix goalie Ilya Bryzgalov's woeful career record in Minnesota meant little Wednesday night, as did Wild netminder Niklas Backstrom's numbers against the Coyotes. This game maybe looked familiar to Wild fans. The Coyotes, under coach Dave Tippett, ...

Look, I know it's super tempting for some
Minnesotan hockey fans to get all geeked because Danny
Irmen's making his NHL debut tonight, and for the Wild no less, and in St. Paul, no less. Well, maybe it is to the Minnesotan Gopher hockey fan. And I ...

The Minnesota Wild, at 7-11-2, is showing some
signs of life, despite having just completed a 1-1-2
road trip. Yes, the overall sentiment among fans seems to be that they can, in fact, fog a mirror this season. However, it is becoming apparent to more ...

For the last twenty months or so, the man you all know as Wild Road Tripper has been gracing this space with game recaps, travelogues and other opinion pieces. When he agreed to come on here it was as a huge boon to me - as I had found myself being pulled in too many non-blog directions to pay ...

After mutual discussion between myself and Nick Henry, HTP's founder and creator, I have decided to concentrate on my other blog, Mileposts and Goalposts, so this will be my last HTP entry. Thank you for reading me the last two seasons. It's been fun. WRT

By Wild Road Tripper Well, the big trip of the season is finally over. Unfortunately, the trip ended unsatisfyingly with a Minnesota Wild 5-4 shootout loss to the formerly hapless Carolina Hurricanes , a team so much in the dumps that the 'Caniacs tailgating in the parking lot were holding ...

By Wild Road Tripper Ms. Conduct , HTP's budding goalie and resident Southern belle, would have been proud of the way her ex-Houston Aeros players managed to pull the Minnesota Wild thru the end of their second longest road trip of the 2009-2010 campaign Sunday afternoon before losing to the ...

By Wild Road Tripper ARLINGTON, Va. -- The weather we had so hoped to avoid caught up with us Thursday and Friday, as a downgraded Tropical Storm 'Ida' became a classic Nor'easter while we were in the Nation's Capital. For the last two days, we have been getting pounded by rain every time we ...
