Ha, GopherState tweeted that Iowa now has 3 players who played pee wee hockey together: Mike Reilly, Mario Lucia, and Justin Kloos.

According to the game sheet, Kunin didn't have a shot on goal (neither did Tyler Graovac).
Lots of four-point games on the schedule if they want to get that last playoff spot (Milwaukee clinches with a win). Iowa's magic number is 22 with 8 games remaining.
The team showed improvement this season, a push for that final berth would be huge.
Does anyone know of a Twitter account or blog that provides Iowa Wild line combinations on a semi-regular basis? The official Wild account seems to only deliver the starting lineups.
Its only before the games starts.
QC out to Fort Wayne in 5 games. Brutal.
How was their season, and what seed were they in the playoffs?
Big news I guess?
The Mallards just announced an affiliation with Vegas and the Chicago Wolves, so the Wild look like they'll have to find another team in the E as an affiliate. It would be nice if it didn't change so often just since the end of the '10 season they've had - Johnstown, Alaska, Orlando, QC and Bakersfield.
I wonder if they will go with a dual affiliation like before with Alaska (who are now defunct sadly) or will try to get a single affiliation with someone?
That is pretty big news. I liked the way they were using the ECHL to get more playing time for a few legitimate prospects (Michalek, Jenys, and Gilmour). QC had the geographic advantage that the others lacked.
Would be awesome if we could put our ECHL affiliate in MN and keep them here.
