UPDATED: The Wild just agreed to terms with Theodore at 5:40 p.m. Finland time. Same terms as below. Theodore ranks sixth among active goalies in games played and wins, and he is the goalie who stoned the division champion Wild in 2008 by holding Marian Gaborik to no goals. More later.
Good afternoon from Helsinki, where the Wild practiced in a cave today.
The practice rink at Hartwall Areena is three stories underground dug into the rock. Very funny images of players waiting for elevators today to get to practice. I also started putting some video on Twitter, where I'll continue in a little bit. So be sure to go to www.twitter.com/russostrib and follow me there. One funny video's up, and I'll put some more in a bit.
I also put a full array of pictures on www.facebook.com/startribunemikerusso, so join that as well. Or "like" that to gain access all season.
