Is What’s Ailing the Minnesota Wild Right Under Their Nose?
Posted: 29th October 2009 by Blake Benzel in NHL
In Wednesday’s loss to the Nashville Predators, Minnesota Wild head coach Todd Richards sat Czech sniper Petr Sykora in favor of fan favorite enforcer Derek Boogaard.
Richards has claimed that Sykora was scratched to “send him a message.”
Apparently that message is that Richards is running out of ideas as to how to motivate his players.
So far this season, Richards has benched Martin Havlat on three separate occasions (one of which likely ...

Okay, so, if you haven't guessed by now. What I am going to start is right now a hope or some may call a "dream". As, I wrote before about the Raptors winning 50 games , remember that?
