Weird that we keep going into 3-3 overtimes with Chicago, but a big "whew" that we came out on top. We needed that two points, especially on a day when both Dallas and Colorado lost.

From Russo:

College free agent pursuits
It’s college free agent season, and it’ll be interesting to see if the Wild land some free agents to supplement some of the picks and prospects they’ve traded away over the past couple of years.

One free agent we hear they have interest in is University of St. Thomas freshman Nathan Pilling, 21, a 6-4 center who had 29 points in 38 games. Another player we can see them pursuing is Owen Michaels, 23, who has 25 points in 37 games as the captain of Western Michigan.
St. Thomas’ season is done. Not defending NCAA champion Western Michigan, however. This creates a small complication, too, because both players are advised by the same agent, and agents would likely not want to play players of the same position on the same team.
So, stay tuned.

This team is in a serious rut at the worst possible time. They've now lost 6 of 9. The goaltending has gotten very inconsistent. Oh, and Charlie Stramel broke his ankle in the NCAA playoffs last night.

I also don't like the decision to sit Yurov out. His speed and skill would add a dimension to the new bottom 6. Frankly, Nick Foligno is done.

Hartman is such an enigma to me. He does some really good things, at times, and then goes full "Hartman" about 2 or 3 times a game that makes me want to rip my tv off the wall.
