Weekend Update

Well, the Wild has officially begun. It was a loss but it was great to see an aggressive forecheck. There were many turnovers and a lot of times where I was scratching my head but these guys haven't had a lot of time to play together. If they are still making that many mistakes come December, then I will start to worry.

Bouchard was the worst player on the ice for both teams. He does bring a lot of skill to the team but appears scared to go anywhere near traffic. While he wasn't the only one to turnover the puck, he certainly didn't make up for it in any other area. While he is very frustrating to watch, he is important to this team, so let's hope he gets better.



Notable prospects update:

• Houston Aeros went 1-1 with Gillies having a goal and an assist in the first game.
• Tyler Cuma had two assists.
• Teammates Erik Haula and Anthony Hamburg of the Omaha Lancers picked up one point each in their open yesterday.
