Wild starting 3rd string goalie

@mnwild: BREAKING: #mnwild recalls G Darcy Kuemper & reassigns D Marco Scandella to @Houston_Aeros. : Wild Recalls Kuemper; Reassigns Scandella - Minnesota Wild - News


Wild beat writer Mike Russo on radio was making this sound like the end of Josh Harding ... that he and management "were in discussions about his career" ... sad if thats the case

The Wild has recalled goaltender Darcy Kuemper this morning and the early word, although unofficial, is that he is expected to make his NHL debut tonight against the Vancouver Canucks.

As of now, the Wild has given no reason as to why Josh Harding isn't starting, but he is still with the team in Vancouver.

General Manager Chuck Fletcher will be available after the optional morning skate, which is scheduled to start in one hour

Yeah, that is really too bad about Josh Harding if that is the case, he seems like a great person (in addition to being a pretty darn good goalie).

Goaltending isn't the Wild's issue.
they haven't scored more than one goal in regulation for 5 games.


take the under!

Sounds like a plan, but no vBookie wager thread has been created as of yet.

hes my chance to give the wild some reverse whammy luck

since 08/09, last 102 games played versus northwest division, canucks are 71-22-9

/only 22 regulation losses ... did the wings ever have it that good when the Central sucked ass

isnt this guy their 4th string backup. we generally make those guys play special.

I thought Hackett was in there as 3.

Why Kuemper? Fletcher says he's been the best goalie in the ahl last couple months

Fletcher says "we really support him and I give him credit for being honest with us."

Fletcher says Harding has been feeling "off" last few days #mnwild

@Dsetoguchi10: Tonight on TSN, 1st intermission, there will be a cool feature on my grandparents, interned in camps in BC during WWII

 

[puckhead]

Juice gets things started off on the powerplay!

nice of them to wait for any action until the Habs - TB shootout was over

 

[jstewismybastardson]

That burrows move is no longer automatic

 

[jstewismybastardson]

I knew lappy couldnt stop being yappy

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Slightly heavy intermission

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Stickwork on henrik has been nuts

Loud slashes too

 

[puckhead]

holy fuck that was pretty passing!!!

mmmbop from Ballard and Raymond
wow was that pretty dangling from Raymond.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Free hit night on the sedins tonight

 

[jstewismybastardson]

I guess that goal was for grandma and grampa 'gooch

 

[IndyAndy]

Hey, guys.

Just made it home from work in time for Setoguchi's goal. - How's the rest of the game been?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Wild are really smacking the sedins around

Went close to 10 mins without a shot

Bogus retaliation penalty on lapierre led to the wild goal

 

[jstewismybastardson]

New goaler hasnt looked out of place though
