I think you spelled his last name wrong Jarick.

Anyone know if he played in Iowa yet this season? If so, how did he look?

 

[Lapa]

Interesting.

Also, Gustafsson*

Very solid! I was a tad worried after he replaced Harding during the last preseason game and he gave up 4 goals in the 3rd.

 

[Engebretson]

Ideally, I'd like to see him have a full year in the AHL to get acclimated to the North American game and speed, but I'm excited to see what he can do. I'm currently banking on him versus Kuemper as our "goalie of the future".

 

[Victorious Secret]

Would be nice to see him get a game. Hopefully, not too many.

 

[Avder]

Oh boy.

 

[LemaireisGOD]

He did not have a great night last night against Chicago. I still think he has a bright future though and overall its been a pretty good start in the AHL.

bottom line is that we need a backup, and Kuemper was poop last time he was up.

It's mostly that Kuemper is going to be starting for the Aeros this weekend.

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

Glad to see him get called up, but a little worried as he was pretty bad against St. Louis in the pre-season.

 

[Northland Wild Man]

Hopefully we don't need him, but it's good to get him out of Iowa for a while.

 

[mezcal]

Excited to see what he can do if he plays. He seems to have gotten off to a pretty good start in Iowa. I really like his style/the way he plays from what I have watched of him. Hopefully he keeps developing and improving obviously, this NHL stint should help that

MN fatalism thought: Harding is self-reporting too much health out of fear of losing games.

 

[J22*]

Doesnt that idiot Yeo realize that if he has a less than 100% Harding, backing up a less than 100% Backstrom, he's really running a HUGE risk of having both goalies injured and being forced to start an unproven rookie?
If Yeo had any brains at all, he would start an unproven rookie until both Backstrom and Harding are 100% so we wont have to worry about relying on unproven rookies.

did I do it right?

Gustafsson has been called up today, according to Wild PR. Harding now on IR.

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

Thank goodness it's Johan and not Kuemper. Not that I'm all that confident in Gustafsson either but he can't possibly look any worse than Kuemper has so far.

Second that!

I dont understand what he was doing when he was up (Kuemps)

Hopefully Gussy is more ready!

 

[TwiztedHeat]

Third that! Kuemper is clearly not the answer around here.

Sent back down today.

Recalled again today, according to Russo

Niklas Backstrom will be off the ice for a few days because he had another injection in what coach Mike Yeo is calling "a nagging lower-body injury," so the Wild has recalled Johan Gustafsson from AHL Iowa to back up Darcy Kuemper on Tuesday night in Dallas.

Also, Josh Harding, who practiced all last week, didn't practice today because Yeo said he's not feeling well again.

Who plays goalie in Houston when both Kuemper and Gustafsson are up here?
