Five Minnesota Frost players to watch this season
The Minnesota Frost have a loaded roster with high-end goal scorers, strong defenders and two Olympic goaltenders. Here's a sampling:
When this Minnesota town was fading, a barn helped give it hope
Gary and Sherri Johnson's barn has become Hendricks' barn, and gymnastics has become part of the town's fabric.
Wolves
Analysis: Wolves lag when Conley's missing, and Dillingham looks like the solution
Dealing with an injury to the starting point guard, the team has tried Donte DiVincenzo, but rookie Rob Dillingham has provided the better spark.
Wolves
Neal: Timberwolves say the right things, but to quote the coach, 'You just gotta go out and do it.'
Chris Finch sees too little effort. Anthony Edwards sees the same. And those of us watching from a distance see nothing at all like last season.
Wolves
Timberwolves make a spirited rally into OT, then sink against Rockets
After trailing by 18 points, Minnesota pushed back, but the extra period turned strongly in Houston's favor.
