Wild taking note of Ryan Suter’s shots on Kirill Kaprizov: ‘I think it’s going to fire him up’

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:08:42 GMT

DALLAS — Dean Evason made himself very clear when asked how the Wild will balance being disciplined with making sure they don’t get pushed around by the Dallas Stars.“We don’t get pushed around,” the Wild coach said. “I’m not worried about that.”In other words, if things get out of hand in the first-round playoff series, the Wild have more than enough physicality to hold their own. Whether it’s Marcus Foligno, Ryan Reaves or Brandon Duhaime, among a handful of others, there is no shortage of players willing to respond if the moment calls for it.“When push comes to shove, we’ll stand up,” Evason said before adding an important caveat. “We’ve got to stay on that line.”That’s the name of the game in the NHL playoffs. You have to stay disciplined. You can’t do something retaliatory that runs the risk of giving the opposing team the upper hand. The margin for error is so minuscule at this point that sitting for...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:08:42 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (WTEN) -- Now that the Native American school mascot ban has been made official by the Board of Regents, over 100 schools across New York will need to change their school mascots or team name.
