What’s Next for Ryan Suter?
Ryan Suter just played in game 1,000, so what does that tell us about how much he has left in the tank? If you somehow have not heard, Ryan Suter played in career game 1,000 Thursday night against the Kings. It is a remarkable feat, something accomplished by only thirteen other active players. (Interestingly, fourteen other players could reach that mark this season if they stay healthy, including Wild Captain Mikko Koivu.) With 1,000 games under his belt, Suter is obviously past the halfway point in his career. He is 33 and will turn 34 in three months, and he will eventually start...

The Wild take advantage of a frustrated Kings team and win 4-1 at home
Ryan Suter and the Wild earned their 5th win of the season in the defenseman’s 1000th NHL game. Tonight, the Minnesota Wild welcomed the Los Angeles Kings who were on a 5-game losing streak into the Xcel Energy Center. Tonight, they added onto the losing streak as the Wild pumped out a 4-1 win against what seemed to be a very frustrated Los Angeles Kings team. First Period You could tell right from puck drop the Wild were on a 4-day break. It took a couple minutes, but they finally shook off the rust. Dubnyk continued to play well, stopping 7 of 7 and shutting down a couple of Kings...

Wilderness Walk: Mr. Millenium
Ryan Suter is about to hit 1,000 games, is the ‘Vegas flu’ a real thing, and how come there aren’t more good hockey songs? Ryan Suter is about to hit quite the landmark in his NHL career: 1,000 games. The absolute fastest a player could reach that many games would be to play every game of the regular season on a team that made it to the Stanley Cup Final every year with every round being a seven game series. In that essentially impossible scenario, a player could hit the millenium mark in a little under nine seasons. Suter will have accomplished it in a little over 13 seasons, which...
