Cuma out for the rest of camp; Scrimmage update
Posted on July 10th, 2008 – 6:56 PMBy Michael Russo
If you’re interested in former Gopher Nate Hagemo, he talked to Raleigh News & Observer reporter Luke DeCock, who’s been working this story all week. Here’s the story.
Here’s a story on the Stanley Cup’s visit to hang with Mark Hartigan at Lake Minnetonka last weekend.
Good evening, although it’s quite sunny out. I know you’ve anxiously been awaiting all day for scrimmage results, but first, here’s some news.
Tyler Cuma, the Ottawa 67s defenseman taken in the first round last month by the Wild, will miss the rest of camp after spraining his right MCL this morning in practice. I didn’t see it, but assistant GM Tommy Thompson said Cuma made a hit in front of the net and his knee extended out. 2007 draft pick Carson McMillan accidentally fell on top of Cuma.
It was an unlucky couple of days for Cuma, who also took a stick below the eye yesterday.
Also, defenseman Paul Albers missed this afternoon’s scrimmage with a bruised foot, and Matt Kassian is still out as he recovers from shoulder surgery.
As for the scrimmage, if your favorite color is green, you’d be sadly disappointed. The white team pounded the green team, 4-1.
For white, Petr Kalus, Justin Hodgman, Benoit Pouliot (whom I wrote about for Friday’s paper) and Cody Almond scored. James Sheppard scored a very sweet goal for green, turning a 1-on-1 with the defenseman into a sudden breakaway. He roofed a pretty goal.
Almond, a 2007 fifth-round pick, stood out to me. Not just the goal, but very physical. Marco Scandella, taken in the second round last month, might be a defenseman, but man, he’s got some moves that make him look like a forward at times. He was pretty brilliant on one penalty shot.
Chris Hickey, who went to Cretin-Derham Hall and is from St. Paul, also had a sweet shootout move.
And I’ll tell you, you’ll like Colton Gillies. Plays with a mean streak, very big, good skater. He clobbered defenseman Sean Lorenz on one sequence, and it wasn’t pretty.
Cal Clutterbuck was also hammering unsuspecting opponents.
Friday, the Wild prospects will be at the Metrodome playing softball. McMillan and Justin Falk are apparently stud baseball players, so they should excel.
OK, that’s it for now.
Just an fyi, you’ll be hearing from me less and less in the coming weeks as I take some (OK, a good amount of) time off. But I’ll jump on to give you updates every now and then, and I promise, I’ll keep up with Pierre-Marc Bouchard and Marian Gaborik news, which is obviously the two most pressing matters for the Wild for the rest of the summer.

Thanks Russo,
Cuma day to day after camp? Or is this waiting on a MRI for a possible longer absence from the ice?
I am so jealous. That would have been an exciting game to see. I hope they have clips up at wild.com.
I feel bad for Cuma. Hope he gets better soon or he will miss out on his chance with the World Juniors.
How was Elo?
There is no Elo
…There is only Zoul.
Man I’d love to see Gilles on the team next year but with the current roster I don’t think it is feasible.
I know what you mean about Gillies. It does give me a good feeling to see Almond, a 5th rounder, do okay. Maybe there is hope in for the Wild’s future with these prospects.
Sorry to hear about Cuma, but good news about Gillies. I can’t wait to see him up with the Wild.
And if they don’t have to wear the Christmas red’s during practice, why during games? Give us our green and whites back, along with white homes.
Good thing for the wild and nhl that I’m lazy and complaining here is the farthest my campaigning will go.
“Give us our green and whites back, along with white homes.”
No thank you. I prefer the IRR above all others. It’s so much easier on the eyes. THe green is u.g.l.y. IMO.
The goalies wear the reds during practice.
Too bad about Cuma, hopefully he will be healthy in time to be 100% for training camp.
I hope to see some video of Gilles soon, I wanna see this kid play.
Guess its the juniors for Cuma, no chance for a roster spot this year…
I actualy saw part of that game this afternoon, as they played during the Wild’s ‘Select-a-Seat’ event. B-b-b-Benny picked right under the crossbar to score as he and (especially) Sheppard looked like men amongst boys in the scrimmage. Gillies is as big as advertised; he will be a beast when he fills out some. The Hodgman goal was a thing of beauty; threaded the needle between goalie and post on the left side shoulder-high.
Fun afternoon of puck. Craig Leipold, new Wild owner, also there. Did not introduce myself personally, however; he was having too much fun chatting up the other ‘paying’ customers. 
He was always headed to juniors. Too many D ahead of him. Interesting about Almond though and Gillies does sound good. I still think something will happen to make spots for both Benoit and Gillies but that Clutterbuck likely will start in Houston unless we do make a deal opening more spots.
WRT: should we be more hopeful about our prospects after the gloom and doom of our cupboard being bare down in Houston from the little bit you saw? Some of draft picks are turning 20 soon and are ready for Houston.
I hope the Wild sign Hodgman to 2-way deal.
I did not see much to cause concern about. These kids are good. Big and good. The Houston cupboard will not be bare this winter. Hodgman (an invitee to fill out the roster) should be signed soon, IMO. He could use a little Texas BBQ to fill out a bit, also. (Did I mention these kids are as tall as weeds?)
Clutterbuck, and defensive signee Maxim Noreau are the only two non-goalies at camp who were under 6-foot-1.
Thanks for your insight.
WRT, just curious, because I was at Select-a-Seat yesterday afternoon, was there much available? Wasn’t much good yesterday.
“No thank you. I prefer the IRR above all others. It’s so much easier on the eyes. THe green is u.g.l.y. IMO.”
I actually love the color green but am not a huge fan of the forest green the Wild chose as their jersey color. Now if we went with a lighter green(like irish green) and changed up the design a bit I think it would actually be pretty popular. Don’t have to ditch the fan favorite red jersey just use light green as our 3rd jersey. JMHO though…
I like a little green and yellow mix…Northstars green with yellow stripes or vice versa.
Can Gillies score or is he just a physical presence and a guy we put in front of the net?
NiNY - nice Ghostbusters pull…but do you remember where the stairs go?
Oh, poor Cuma. Hate to see such a gung ho kid get hurt.
The problem is, are any of these impressive kids old enough to come to the Aeros? What’s the date they have to be 20 by? Sept 1 or just first game of the season?
Good luck with the surgery, Russo. Hope you get some good drugs out of the deal!
WRT was at select-a-seat to get away from me… 
NiNY…nice Ghostbusters reference.
God I love this town!!!
for4rest,
Gillies did havve 1 goal and 7 assists in 11 games with the Aeros.
Perhaps that was just a flash in a pan type of thing but it does give off some hope of hidden offensive potential.
Some Blades fans say he was always offensive but his hands couldn’t keep up with his blazing speed, but its catching up. Other Blades fan say he has no offensive hockey sense.
If its the hands, then if they catch up, we got a steal of a pick. If its hockey sense, then just expect a fast, hard hitting checker which we drafted him for
I have never liked the greens too much and now even the whites I find pretty sorry. Both are too modern and make us look like an expansion team. Almost like an Arena League team compared to an NFL team. The Avs have the same pathetic thing going with their jerseys (except their throwback ones with the state written diagonally down the front ala the Rangers).
I would love to see a white (or wheat)version of the IRR like has been floating around on the web.
And the hits just keep on coming… yada, yada, yada…
Now that Fridge and Simon are gone, who is going to help protect our assets?? Don’t get me wrong…Boogy is one of my favorites, but it doesn’t take a genious to know he won’t be an 82 game player. As much fun as it is to see Burns throw down, we can’t afford to see him in the box for 5 minutes at a time.
KR - Thought that’s what Nolan and Weller were for.
Sure hope so…I don’t know much about Weller. Nolan should be good for a scrap or two. I honestly am pretty excited to see him in a Wild sweater.
Once Gillies fully developes I think we’ll see a kid that can shut down top lines and still pot 20 - 25 goals a season. The kid isn’t meant for the 1st line by any means but he has the size and the skill to be a good hockey player for years to come. He seems to be compared a lot to a young Brent Burns so I guess you could say Gillies should be what Burns would have been had we left him at foward.
Second Hockeydad’s comment about the jersey…would like to see a (off)white version of the IRR jerseys.
As far as protection goes…Simon was hardly ever in uniform. Fridge didn’t fight much and Voros was used as a punching bag. Again, echoing Hockeydad, Nolan will be Fedoruk (w/ more skill) and Weller will provide fire and stick up for teammates, while not getting his ass beat as much as Voros. No worries.
Finn -
They go up!
But the thing that really surprises me is Gillies’s stickhandling ability. He can really handle the puck, so if his hands still need catching up, and when they do, that along with his stickhandling, size and speed, could make him 2nd line power forward
But thats all i had left in my optimism tank so I’m done
Also, he’s not really like those 1st round busts that are purely big. Those guys either had no stickhandling ability, no hockey sense, or could not skate.
Gillies can flat out fly, great defensive hockey sense, good offensive sense (arguable, depends which Blades fan u ask, either not there, developing, or just too fast), good stickhandling ability, decent shot, and can hit like a tank.
Stick to the eye, sprained MCL - sucks to be Cuma this week. Is he trying to emulate Foster? You know how Foster has a way of getting injured through no fault of his own…
yeah
Where was Russo on this?
Canucks sign Demitra to 2-year, $8 million deal
jimlove: you beat me to it.
Still $4 million per? A lot of jack for the local butcher.
Maybe it says Yohnny’s contract is not out of line anymore.
Maybe it says Yohnny’s contract is not out of line anymore.
If Finger’s deal didn’t say that already.
“I actually love the color green but am not a huge fan of the forest green the Wild chose as their jersey color”
I completely agree. I love green too, but they green Wild jerseys just don’t look good out on the ice. The reds are far better. Also agreed on the 3rd jersey opinion. A nice old school Northstars greenish color would look pretty sweet.
The Green jersey’s didn’t work well on TV either. They almost looked black. Maybe in hi-def not as bad. If they had been mostly green with a wheat stripe or sleeves or something they wouldn’t have been so bad. As they were, it looked like they bought a bunch of solid colored jerseys and threw a logo and numbers on them.
I’m of the opinion that a wheat/off white colored sweater of the same design as the IRR one would be nice.
I like the round wild logo better than the lone animal head thing.
Anybody seen mention of who the goalies were for each team in the scrimmage?
“I’m of the opinion that a wheat/off white colored sweater of the same design as the IRR one would be nice.”
I am in this camp as well. Here is a page at teh Wild Message boards with a pic of what a wheat sweater would look like… if you scroll down a bit you will see that someone took the time to photoshop one (a green 3rd) over some players as well.
Anyone else notice that the draft day hat this year was red with a secondary color of black. I thought that was strange.
http://www.lids.com/pid/20113695
ATX, I’m not liking those green/red ones but they’re better than what we had.
I really like the wheat one though.
I really like THIS one.
I think the wheat jerseys just end up looking dingy.
I’ve seen some suggestions for white jerseys with the circle logo that are very sharp - I’d like to see that for an away jersey.
A green jersey would be ok for a 3rd jersey, just lose the hideous giant bearcat logo. Dumbest logo in hockey. Well, one of them at least.
And here are the Wheats. I like these a bunch too.
No Northstars colors please. This is NOT the North Stars Jr. I don’t want to see the team go that route.
I guess Delta doesn’t hold himself accountable to the commissioner:
http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=243086&lid=sublink02&lpos=headlines_main
Wallshot, I don’t really want to rehash the N*’s but I do think those look pretty good.
how good would a blacked out jersey with green/wht stripes on it with the man/bear/pig logo in the middle be…
Similar to those gnarly Fighting Sioux blacks…
If Finger’s deal didn’t say that already.
Commodore’s deal also comes to mind - I think the lessons learned here are: a.) you have to pay a premium for many UFAs and b.) 3 or 4 year deals are going to look better down the road - even Parrish is getting cheaper!
i used to like burke a little but that last volley just makes him look like a whiney little p*ssy. tampering with perry? is he serious?
let the penner thing go delta.
Burke’s a hell of a guy. At least he’s a GM and not a youth league coach. or better yet, a dad who’s not a youth league coach.
Sorry about beating you NiNY - Ghostbusters was my childhood. I was in NYC last spring and of course had to stop by the NY public library to get my picture taken.
i used to like burke a little but that last volley just makes him look like a whiney little p*ssy. tampering with perry? is he serious?
let the penner thing go delta.
exactly. I have defended him as a cunning GM in the past, but I have grown tired of his tantrum in this case.
Let it go, indeed.
Good point NiNY.
Ms Conduct or other Texas Wild fans, given the large size of Houston compared to other southern NHL cities how long before they can support a franchise?
jimlove: not to worry. You can also find Dana’s apartment building walking around the park too. And of course, Tavern on the Green is still there.
Iceman, I am not sure the NHL belongs in Houston (no offense Houstonites) at all. Too many people in TX don’t even know what hockey is, let alone care enough to support an expansion team. Granted Dallas does okay, but I am not sure that TX has the market for two NHL teams.
jimlove: as a young freshman in college, and a newly selected member of a men’s a cappella group, I found myself wandering around looking for “Dana Hall” which was the location of one of our first rehearsals with the other newbies in the group one evening.
There are four of us and we’re just hopelessly lost, and all we knew was that we were looking for “Dana”.
So we wander into what eneded up being the music library and asked the smart-alec kid behind the counter “Where is ‘Dana’?”
To which he promptly and matter-of-factly replied, “There is no Dana. There is only Zoul.”
Hilarious.
I wonder if Seattle is going to join the list of potential NHL locations, or has it already?
SGS: I’ve been wondering that myself, don’t they already have an WHL team? You’d think that that area of the country could use a team…would be a great rivalry w/the Nuk’s
I think the lessons learned here are: a.) you have to pay a premium for many UFAs
You just broke the hearts of DR haters who see the Johnsson signing as wood on the pyre.
Bored at work, so bored I read LaVelle’s blog and found this gem…
Nick Punto is batting .320 but his name in this part of the country might as well be Skoula.
I almost fell out of my chair laughing, which isn’t good when there is no one working today within 100 feet of my cube…
BNAG: my respect for LEN just went up a couple notches. That’s pretty funny.
You’d think that that area of the country could use a team…would be a great rivalry w/the Nuk’s
Much like the vaunted Seattle Sonics and Vancouver Grizlies rivalry of days gone by… 
BNAG: I actually almost thought of moving to Seattle a few times, but the lack of an NHL team was a major downside to me. 
At least in CO I get to see the boys a few times/year.
“Nick Punto is batting .320 but his name in this part of the country might as well be Skoula”
Awesome.
- As a DR detractor* I am in the minority on the Johnsson contract but if we keep ripping him for that, the guy is never going to sign a high end UFA outside of gifts like Bruno.
- Thanks for the LaVelle nugget BANG, loved it.
* i.e. a person who wants to be proved wrong
BTW: Skoula would love to produce the hockey equivalent of “batting .320″…but that’s splitting hairs.
Great line.
NINY: I just about fell out of my chair on that one…That’s definately a Bizzaro world in which Skoula is scoring as many points and is as great defensively as Burnsie.
I’ve never thought the Johnsson dough was out of line. Just that Kimmy didn’t deliver.
Am I the only one that despises the IRR jersey? I don’t care for ‘resale red’ color. The logo is a complete ripoff of the old Blackhawks style from the early days.
Bring back the home whites!!!
So I’ve got a moment to check in before I finish packing and start loading up the car. Hope the Mr can sneak out early today. Do you think it would be tacky to walk around the DECC in a Gopher Hockey t-shirt and hat while cursing UMD? And before SOME of you start the “Gophers suck why would you like them” crap again remember that the Mr and I are Alum, we’re allowed like the team. :0
I’m a fan of the wheat and dark green jersey myself.
Comparing Punto to Skoula is just not nice. I mean, Punto has a good hit or a solid game in the field once in a while, Skoula’s just a minute muncher who falls down standing still.
BNAG: Sonics are moving to Oklahoma City. Or at least they have permission to move. So that makes your rivalry statement all that more ironic.
I need to go finish getting ready to go to Duluth for the weekend. If I don’t get a chance to stop back later the keys to the Russoville Historical Society are behind the bar at Nicks on a key chain shaped like an X. Feel free to peruse the files and artifacts, just put them back were you got them and remember to wear the protective cotton gloves if you handle any of the 3D objects.
Later all.
kj: I had more of a problem with DR’s furious backpedaling on his expectations for Johnsson (ie going from “offense-producing” to the dreaded “puck-moving”) than I did the contract itself.
have a fun trip, Band!
In retrospect, Johnsson’s 2 goal game against WAS early in his first season with the Wild didn’t help his cause with some members of the fan base. That said, I think it is fair to say he has met all of JL’s expecations. Also, don’t forget the most logical alternative to Johnsson - Kuba at $3 million per.
Is it too soon to start talking about an extension for Johnsson?
The logo is a complete ripoff of the old Blackhawks style from the early days.
Good artists create, great artists steal someone elses idea and make it their own….
BTW: Skoula would love to produce the hockey equivalent of “batting .320″…but that’s splitting hairs.
For Skouba, I’d think a fair comparison would be one error free game a week. It might be within the realm of possibility….
NiNY…I forgot about that.
Another brick in the wall for DR.
Typical Brian Burke! We will make sure we abide by the NHL’s request to STFU, but before we do, I want to make sure I get the last word on this!
Hard to imagine that big mouth cake eater came from Edina, eh.
prepare to be heckled by people in duluth for wearing gooph gear. Possibly by me.
heh heh @reid.
wow, it’s a sloooow day in Russoville.
DUDE! Shoot me that link again plz. Need to practice my html or whatever that is.
Austin: is today the annual meeting of the Skoula Fan Club or something?
NiNY, it must be… the State Fair doesn’t start till August!
or maybe everyone’s all intimidated now that we know Burnsie’s lurking.
That is a distinct possiblity… maybe they are afraid that if they criticize the Wild Burnsie might go all Inglewood jack on them.
really, it’s the python* that scares me the most.
*the animal, not his colloquially-referred-to arms - tempered steel though they may be.
What was the notable fight burns was in late last season again???
Wasn’t it with Nathan McIver?

Speaking of Sconnies…
Yesterday their Supreme Court upheld (by a 5-2 vote) that sex with dead people is illegal.
WTF? Why did 2 vote to keep it legal???
BNAG:
“Friends of yours?”
“I’ll give you a hint: Milwaukee Wisconsin!”
“It takes a big man to admit when he’s wrong…I am NOT… a big man.”
“Hello, I’m Peter Lemon-Jello and they told me to tell you your house is on fire.”
“I be Calculus Entropy, you be Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher?”
“I be Fletch. Geometry Fletch. She be Miss Trigonometry Ross.”
WTF? Why did 2 vote to keep it legal???
marriages gone bad? The live of a Supreme Court spouse is tough.
D’oh! LIFE, not live.
Maybe the two thought dead = inert?
“uh sir, this is a restricted area.”
“Well I’m very happy for you, son. Most people live in terrible neighborhoods.”
“Becky was a good girl and didn’t need to be spanked… dammit. “
KJ: the question is whether it’s sexual assualt to have sex with a dead person - the 2 NO votes were that it’s not sexual assault to have sex with a dead person…still illegal (I presume) to have sex with a corpse.
I’d guess they didn’t so much vote to keep it legal as vote that another law is unnecessary.
But what do I know and it’s politics - yuck!
MADISON, Wis. — Three men are now facing attempted sexual assault charges after the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that people can be charged with sexual assault when the victims are dead.
Back in 2006, the three men — Alexander Grunke, his twin brother Nicholas Grunke and their friend Dustin Radke — were arrested on suspicion of digging up the corpse of a woman in order to have sex with it.
Lower courts dismissed the attempted third-degree sexual assault charges against the trio, saying that state law doesn’t criminalize necrophilia.
“NiNY, ATX, Me in CA… now y’all know why: fugitives from the LAW.”
yep, been unknowingly on the run for YEARS.
the word is the corpse was “fresh” and that of a formely HOT 20 y/o…
“One of men apparently saw an obituary photo of her and asked the others to help dig up the body so he could have sex with it. The men went to the cemetery with shovels, a crowbar, a tarpaulin, and a box of condoms, which the men had purchased that evening on their way to the cemetery. They used shovels to reach her grave but eventually abandoned their plan and were caught by authorities.”
Buying a box of condoms on the way to the graveyard? Suddenly I feel waaay better about my social life.
WTF? Why did 2 vote to keep it legal???
so their spouses could legally have sex with them?
the word is the corpse was “fresh” and that of a formely HOT 20 y/o…
yeah…all the incentive you’d need, eh?

ugh…is it possible to Purell my eyes/brain?

So which is the worst part of that, digging up a corpse to get your freak on, or digging up a corpse to get your freak on WITH YOUR TWIN BROTHER THERE?

god i hope none of my friends ever ask me to help dig up a corpse so that he can F**k it…”ummm, Mike…can you help me with something this weekend? there’s a case of beer in it for ya…”
Are we plumbing for new depths in topics today? I’m scanning my memory, and while I may have missed a few days, we have to be getting close to a low water mark here.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

isn’t this Demitra’s new job?
toivo: yeah, just go with it. It’s like flipping through channels on TV and seeing Ace Ventura on. Once you get your head around it, it can be pretty enjoyable.
Slow news day in Russoville, a lively necrophilia discussion filled the bill for entertainment
Buying a box of condoms on the way to the graveyard?
I’m going to go ahead and submit this phrase as a Russoville metaphor for adding insult to injury of one’s own self-respect. Fatal injury.

I think you had a typo in there toivo.
Hi, I’m Buck Melanoma, Moley Russel’s wart.
When Skoula tripped on the blueline, he might has well have been buying condoms on the way to the graveyard.
You should see the toast. I couldn’t even get it through the door.
Oh, it’s me…Dr. Rosenpenis.
Dr. Who?
Dr. Rosenrosen. I’m here to get to the records room.
exactly mike(ntm)!
“One of men apparently saw an obituary photo of her and asked the others to help dig up the body so he could have sex with it. The men went to the cemetery with shovels, a crowbar, a tarpaulin, and a box of condoms, which the men had purchased that evening on their way to the cemetery. They used shovels to reach her grave but eventually abandoned their plan and were caught by authorities.”
ugh…is it possible to Purell my eyes/brain?
Not sure, but you can use what’s left in this Clorox bottle. Worked for me.

And to think, I posted this earlier, BEFORE OUR WALK DOWN (DEAD)LOVER’S LANE!!
How was I to know???
No offense — and I do mean NO offense — but, I took an hour off for lunch, came back to get caught up, and was overwhelmed by the Patrick Stefan-esque nature of Russoville this afternoon.

Whats the story on Shawn Belle to Montreal for minor-league center Corey Locke?
Ro, Ro, Ro…didn’t you get the memo? This is apparently a hockey-free zone this afternoon!
(From what we’ve heard, Belle for any warm body that can skate is a win for the Wild. I haven’t heard anything about any deal for him - though I haven’t really been looking, either.)
Thanks Nick, its on twincities.com
Belle to MTL for Corey Locke (thanks Ro).

lets see…I seem to recall SOME people wanting a center!
Ask and ye shall receive boys and girls!
/sarcasm
Check up top for a little Friday feed from the Don…
Belle for any warm body
Awww, c’mon, what the he!!. We’re on a roll today: Why not for any cold body???
Wow, looks like B-B-Benny is getting some competition for that last Center spot.
So we traded Willie Mitchell for Skoula and Corey Locke, uhm?
I feel proud, I read you guys and gals all the time but I needn’t know if I could run with the “A” team!
The guy is shorter than our shortest guy. I don’t forsee him playing for the Wild unless he is at wing.
