Michael Russo (@Russostrib):

Darcy Kuemper's up with the #mnwild. No word yet as to what's with Josh Harding. He was with team in Calgary

Uh oh...

Too bad about Hards!

Awesome for Kuemps! That guy is a stud.

 

[MuckOG]

*Gulp*

Hope everything is OK with Harding.....

 

[Victorious Secret]

Does Backs start again tonight? Or does Darcy make it in time?

 

[tomgilbertfan]

Hope Harding is OK.

Glad we've got a goalie battle in houston though, granted it's been one sided towards Kuemper lately it seems.

Guarantee you Backstrom starts even if Kuemper does make it in time.

 

[MuckOG]

Guarantee you Backstrom starts even if Kuemper does make it in time.

Yeah...I would agree here.

Hopefully Russo will let us know what's going on here pretty quick.

 

[DeuceMN]

Well that's not a good sign...

I'm happy for Keumper, but hope Hards is ok.

Poor Backy... Playing in that horrible arena with the creepy twins...

 

[jedisports]

This sucks for Harding though I'm looking forward to seeing Kuemper at the same time. Hope Harding's okay.

Your icon is golden.

Appears Kuemper will start, according to Russo.

Wow - what a first game to be thrown in to.

 

[tomgilbertfan]

Awesome. Good Luck Kuemps.

 

[SPMaximus]

waiting to hear Yeo call him Kuempy or Kuemps

 

[TaLoN]

Oh crap! He's wearing #35! You know how flaky the LAST player to wear that number was...

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Go with K(u)emps. Makes him more Minnesotan

Kranky Kuempy?

 

[forthewild]

Wow didn't know Kuempy was on fire like that in the A.

I hope Hackett turns it around, last year he was awesome for us.

 

[TaLoN]

Kranky Kuempy?

Let's hope he can take some of that headcase/anger taint off that number!

 

[El Nino22]

This is very interesting. I really hope Harding is okay, that guy has been so loyal to this organization through so much adversity and never complained or copped an attitude.

A rough way to introduce Kruemper to the NHL, but i'm going to say that nervous pressure could very well turn into a lights out performance.

Also if Hards is done, we have to trade for a veteran backup right? No way we let Kruemper or Hackett sit behind Backs all season when they could be playing in the AHL.

Backstrom is a veteran. There's no reason you can't split time. If Hards was playing (or feeling?) better, he'd have started 1-2 more games the last couple weeks.

 

[Fel 96]

Wow, great for him! He deserves it.

Really hope Josh is ok.

Hey now Manny Fernandez was a fine goalie for us while it lasted, don't care about this system crap wishy washy but he did fine for us. Then there was the dancing russian bear who's not from russia who now plays for Boston/AHL.

Disagree, I think the team would be perfectly willing to have one or the other as Backup if it was needed for the rest of the season.

I would rather have had a Kuemper/Hackett backing-up Backstrom this year, than to have the Wild resign Harding. That was before the MS diagnosis, which now makes it worse.

Considering the shortened, condensed season, they may not be sitting as much as one would expect.

Who knows, perhaps Kuemper and/or Hackett could be part of a trade package in a few weeks.
