Earlier this year, I wrote that we should blame Tim Connelly if things turn sour. But 35 games into the...15222Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/front-page/kirk-cousins-cant-keep-taking-hits-like-this/Kirk Cousins is many things. An MVP candidate? Depends on who you ask. A fashion icon? That Kohl’s Cash is burning a hole in his pocket. However, one thing that is not up for debate is his toughness and how much of a pummeling he’s taken so far this season.   Through 15 games, Cousins has been hi...15219Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/front-page/freddy-gaudreau-is-at-it-again/Freddy Gaudreau is the most polarizing of all the Minnesota Wild's forwards. On the one hand, he's a tremendous story, a player who seemed to be a career minor-leaguer before grabbing a full-time spot at age 28. It has to inspire everyone grinding away in the minors, awaiting their shot.   That s...15218Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/front-page/good-teams-find-ways-around-injuries-and-adversity/The Minnesota Timberwolves have had to work around injuries lately.
