Injury Report: Jonas Brodin (Injured Paw)

[gphr513]

I agree with whoever said it a while ago, this will feel like a TDL acquisition. It's nice to see that we were able to continue doing so well without him, but I think the team will be very happy to see #25 out there on the ice again.

Wearing my Brodin jersey in support! Haven't worn it since he went out

Not sure I know how to post it, but there was a hilarious instagram post from Dumba talking about Brodin returning...basically his nicknames are The Wizard and Slim Jimmy

Holla! Sounds like he's playing RD tonight?

 

[Minnesota]

Holy crap, that font.

 

[TaLoN]

You're a Wizard Jonas!

 

[Hugart]

Yay!

Gonna be too many L on the ice though.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

Hasn't missed a beat.

Good thing about a broken finger is it doensn't prevent a d'man from keeping his skating up to scratch.

Someone needs to add the lightning scar to Jonas' forehead in that hp image...

Brodin has looked good the first 2 games for Sweden. The OEL/Brodin (offhand side) pairing was the best Sweden pairing last game.

The big ice really gives him a chance to show his positioning and gap control defensive abilities. He's also been a factor in the o-zone: shooting the puck, joining as a 4th FWD a few times, covering for OEL when he does OEL things.

Just stay healthy, Brodin.

Would be awesome if this guy had a breakout season next year and put up 40+ points.

Awesome for Vegas?

Awesome for Vegas?

I'm still of the opinion that both he and Dumba will be on Minnesota next year.

Dumba is gone. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!

Brodin is looking for offense more than I've ever seen him do for the Wild.

Winding up and taking slapshots, where is that player in MN?

Dumba?
Scandella?
Suter once per year?

I think he meant why is Brodin not doing that here

Probably because he's being asked to carry his defensive pairing. He spent most of the season with a rotating cast of Folin, Prosser, Dumba.

Yeah I don't know anything about Team Sweden, but I would imagine he's being coached to be much more defensive here.

Bingo.

Brodin has basically been the sober kid who tries to keep his friends out of trouble.
