Tällä sivulla seuraamme Minnesota Wildin, Cleveland Lumberjacksien ja Kaitsu Nurmisen matkaa 
-sarjakaudella 2000-2001. Otteluselostuksia sekä muita tapahtumia seuran
ympärillä ylläpidetään tarpeen mukaan. Oheiset linkit vievät suoraan
Minnesota Wildin ja Cleveland Lumberjacksien sivuille, mutta päätapahtumista pysyt ajantasalla myös
täällä. Lisäksi saat tiedon niistä radioasemista, joista voit kuunnella
otteluselostuksia Webin kautta.
Kaitsun kausi on sitten purkissa Clevelandin riveissä. Tehot pysyivät pinna per ottelu ja siihen sitten lisäksi vielä ne kaksi ottelua syksyllä Minnesotassa, joissa syntyi yksi maali. Ensin koko IHL:n tilastot, sitten sarjataulukko runkosarjan jälkeen ja lopuksi joukkueen sisäinen tehotilasto.

Veteraani vertyy kauden edetessä! Kaitsu on naputellut pisteitä tasaiseen tahtiin viime otteluissa, tilanne 62 ottelun jälkeen on pinna per matsi. Perjantai-illan ottelu tuotti jälleen neljä pinnaa lisää (2+2) ja ottelun ykkösstaran tittelin. Ensi kauden juuri julkistettu sopimus TPS:n kanssa ja ensi viikonlopun MM-Killin kamppailu "Kaitsun maljasta" pitävät miehen lämpiminä.

IHL uusi webbisivunsa vuoden alussa ja muutti samalla myös otteluraporttiensa asua ja tyyliä. Jokaisessa ottelussa valitaan nyt ottelukohtaisesti ns. paras ja/tai tehokkain peluri. Kaitsulla on takanaan mukavasti mennyt viikko ja valinta osui 4.2.2001 (Grand Rapids at Cleveland), 10.2.2001 (Cincinnati at Cleveland) ja 11.2.2001 (Manitoba at Cleveland) häneen. Cincinnati -ottelussa Kaitsu kirjautti tehot 2+2. Clevelandin tappioputki on kääntynyt päinvastaiseksi ja heillä on nyt 8 voittoa viimeisestä kymmenestä ottelusta.

Kaitsun pörssipisteet ovat taas noususuunnassa. Clevelandillä menee tällä hetkellä heikosti, sillä se on hävinnyt kahdeksan ottelua viimeisestä kymmenestä. Joukkue on kärjessä maalinteossa ja laukauksissa maalia kohden, mutta pelannee avoimen puolustuksen periaatteella. Pikapuoliin saadaan Kaitsun omat kommentit pelin kulusta ja vähän muustakin!

Ote senkun paranee, jos pistepörssiä pidetään yhtenä mittarina. Kaitsu
on nyt jaetulla IHL:n pörssiin kakkossijalla, oli hän viikon loppuna jo
hetken ykkösenäkin! Viiden viimeisen ottelun kokonaissaldo on 5+5=10 ja kun
huomioidaan viimeisen ottelun jääneen kokonaan nollille, niin kyllä Varilan
kentän opit purevat myös Amerikan mantereella.
29.10.2000
Kiekko on alkanut pomppia suotuisammin Kaitsun lavassa. Kahden viimeisen ottelun
saldona on pörssipisteitä
tullut 3+2=5 ja sijoitus tilastoissa noussut kohisten.
24.10.2000
Kaitsu on avannut pistetilinsä myös Lumberjacksien riveissä, kahdeksan
pelatun ottelun jälkeen saldo on 0+5 eli vahvasti syöttövoittoinen. Kolmen
ensimmäisen ottelun jälkeen alkoi pistetilin kartuttaminen, viimeisen ottelun
saldo oli 0+2. Näillä tehoilla Kaitsu on joukkueensa pörssissä puolen välin
paremmalla puolella ja koko IHL:n liigan
pörssissä ensimmäisen kerran 25
tehokkaimman joukossa. Ei matka kärkeenkään kovin pitkä ole, sillä
pörssiä johtavan tehot ovat 5+5. Sarjatilanteen

Kaitsusta saatiin lisätietoa muutaman päivän kuluttua (8.10.2000):
Hän aloitti kautensa Cleveland Lumberjacksin riveissä IHL:ssä. Cleveland on arviolta vähän yli 500 mailia Minnesotasta, joten se merkinnee sitä, että kotiin ei tulla yöksi.
"CLEVELAND LUMBERJACKS: The Minnesota Wild's prime affiliate Cleveland of the International Hockey League (IHL) opened their season last night at Grand Rapids and lost 4-2. Their home opener at One Center Ice is tonight vs. Manitoba at 7:30 p.m. (CST). The Lumberjacks head coach is Todd McLellan and the assistant coach is Jock Callander. The Lumberjacks roster consists of centers Brian Bonin, Jeff Daw, Brett McLean, Richard Park and Brendan Walsh, left wings Peter Bartos, Garrett Burnett, Pascal Dupuis, Randy Fitzgerald, Darryl Laplante and Kai Nurminen right wings Steve Aronson, Joe Frederick, Chris Longo and Christian Matte, defenseman Chris Armstrong, Eric Charron, J.J. Daigneault, Justin Harney, Ian Herbers, Mike Matteucci, Nick Naumenko, and Lawrence Nycholat and goalie Zac Bierk and David Brumby."
Lunta tupaan!
Minnesota Wild julkisti joukkueensa 2.10.2000 - tähän kuului yllätyksenä Kaitsun siirtäminen "myyntilistalle". Miksi näin meneteltiin - on toistaiseksi vain arvoitusten varassa. Asia selvinnee varmasti lähiaikoina, mutta kaiken kaikkiaan se kuvaa NHL -kiekkoilun arvoituksellisuutta ja pelaajan työsopimusoikeudellisesti hankalaa tilannetta. Kaitsun kanssa waiver -listalla ovat Pavel Patera, Darryl Laplante ja J.J. Daigneault. Patera on esiintynyt viime kaudella Dallas Stars:n, Laplante Detroit Red Wings:n ja Daigneault Phoenix Coyotes:n -riveissä.

MINNESOTA WILD ANNOUNCE ROSTER FOR INAUGURAL SEASON
SAINT PAUL/MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – The National Hockey League’s Minnesota Wild announced today the roster for the start of the club’s inaugural 2000-2001 season.
In order to reach the NHL’s maximum roster limit of 23, the club has reassigned defenseman Nick Schultz to Prince Albert of the Western Hockey League (WHL), placed left wing Steve McKenna on injured reserve and placed center Pavel Patera, left wings Darryl Laplante and Kai Nurminen and defenseman J.J. Daigneault on waivers.
“Our final decision about who would remain with the Wild was based on keeping players who played up to or above their potential,” commented Wild Executive Vice President/General Manager Doug Risebrough.
The Wild will carry 14 forwards (six left wings, five centers, three right wings), seven defensemen and two goalies heading into the 2000-2001 season. Comprising the Wild’s 23-man roster are: 12 players acquired in the NHL’s June Expansion Draft, five players acquired via trade, three players selected in the NHL’s 2000 June Entry Draft, two players signed as free agents and one player claimed in the NHL Waiver Draft. A breakdown of the roster is listed on the following page.
The Wild will begin play at the Xcel Energy Center as part of the Northwest Division of the NHL’s Western Conference this season. The club’s season opener is this Friday in Anaheim and the home opener at Xcel Energy Center is Wednesday, October 11 versus the Philadelphia Flyers. Tickets remain for all Wild home games.

9/29/2000WILD OPEN XCEL ENERGY CENTER WITH 3-1 VICTORY OVER MIGHTY DUCKS
The first twenty minutes of hockey at the new Xcel Energy Center was Wild as the club jumped out to a 3-0 on the Mighty Ducks. Winger Kai Nurminen opened the scoring just 2:49 into the opening stanza. Nurminen took a feed from Stacy Roest at the mouth of the goal crease and beat Mighty Ducks J.S. Giguere for the first-ever goal scored in the Xcel Energy Center. Minnesota made it 2-0 at 6:05 of the first when defenseman Brad Bombardir converted a backdoor feed from Maxim Sushinsky for a goal. The line of Aaron Gavey, Antti Laakonen and Jeff Nielsen manufactured the Wild's third goal of the period on the forecheck. Cycling the puck down low, Gavey wheeled out in front and flipped a backhander by Giguere on the shortside at 10:46. Minnesota goaltender Jamie McLellan turned aside five Ducks shot in the first period.
The second period saw both teams tighten up defensively. Anaheim generated the period's best scoring chances on two powerplay opportunities, but the goaltending of McLennan kept the Ducks off the board. While killing the first to two penalties assessed to Aaron Gavey in the stanza, the Wild netminder kicked aside a scoring opportunity on the doorstep, then got some help from the post on the rebound to perserve the shutout through two. The Wild defense corp, especially NHL rookie Lubomir Sekeras, has done a good job of staying at home and not allowing the aggressive Ducks forwards to sneak behind and create the odd-man rush. Through two periods, Anaheim holds a 12-9 advantage in shots on goal, but trails on the scoreboard 3-0.
The Wild closed out the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim and recorded a 3-1 victory in their first-ever preseason game at Xcel Energy Center. Jamie McLennan made 21 saves, and Kai Nurminen and Maxim Sushinsky each recorded two points in the win. The Wild scored three goals over the game's first 10 minutes, then locked up the Ducks defensively over the final two periods. Anaheim's lone goal came on the powerplay late in the third period as Teemu Selanne beat McLennan with a one-timer. The win brings the Wild's record to 2-2-3 in the preseason.
