Russo Feels José Might be in Net a Game Next Week

This from Mike Russo's "Russo's Rants" today:

"After the Wild's 4-2 home-opening victory over Edmonton, coach Todd Richards will obviously return with the exact same lineup tonight against new coach Scott Arniel's Jackets. Niklas Backstrom back in the nets, and I'd assume if all goes well he'll be in the cage again Tuesday against Vancouver with Jose Theodore making his Wild debut in Edmonton or Vancouver next Thursday or Friday.

This is just a guess, of course. And frankly, I'd probably start Theodore in Edmonton considering Backstrom hates the lighting in there or something. Typically at Rexall, Backstrom sees the opening faceoff but not the first faceoff of the second period."

And now just for fun, a flashback photo from 2004.
