...and the Wild got OWNED again last night. I suoppose it would be nice if they could actually keep people healthy. Maybe then they could field a competitive team again.

Koivu is out, right?

Hawks play the Sabres tonight, I am guessing Buffalo will start Enroth as Ryan Miller looks like his days are numbered. If he didn't have such a huge contract, I am guessing the Sabres would move him before the deadline.

Yup. He's out. Last I heard, it was supposed to be a month or more.

Bouchard and Latendresse are still out, as well, and they've been playing musical goalies with injuries and other things that Backstrom and Harding have been dealing with, and there have been several other players in and out of the lineup that have been expected to contribute heavily this year.

The Wild rode the percentages for a while (as well as crazy good goaltending) and it was a matter of time before they came back down to earth. Injuries are hurting them for sure but they are barely a 8-10th place team in the Western Con. in the best of times.
