Update from Russo's twitter from this afternoon: "Looks like Niklas Backstrom gets the nod tonight for #mnwild. Meaning Jose Theodore's first start likely comes tomorrow in Vancouver."
From Russo's Rants today:
"I'm guessing Niklas Backstrom gets the nod. As I mentioned the other day, Jose Theodore's numbers in Edmonton are actually worse than Backstrom, plus the Wild's coming off a big win, Backstrom's playing well and most coaches don't like to fiddle with the lineup after wins.
So I'd think Theodore starts in Vancouver. But I've been wrong before."
Noooooooooooo. I wanted to see him tonight.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he's very anxious to get his first start as well! It probably feels like an eternity to him since he's played in a game. I'm so excited for him...
