YOUR GUIDE TO THE TWIN CITIES
Greetings. Russo wasn’t the only one taking Saturday morning off. Jacques let most of the players skip the morning skate. The only ones on the ice this morning were the two goaltenders, defensemen Petteri Nummelin, Keith Carney and Kurtis Foster and forwards Todd Fedoruk, Matt Foy and James Sheppard.
Looks like Backstrom in goal tonight.
That’s about it, so far, for the day.
Michael Russo has covered the Minnesota Wild and NHL for the Star Tribune since 2005 following 10 years of covering the Florida Panthers for the Sun-Sentinel. Michael fell in love with the sport thanks to the New York Islanders’ dynasty of the early-'80s and being able to cover the three-time Sunshine Hockey League-champion West Palm Beach Blaze in the early-'90s. Michael uses “Russo’s Rants” to feed a wide-ranging hockey-centric discussion with readers, and “Russo Radio” can be heard Wednesdays at 6 p.m. on KSTP (AM-1500).
