There’s a new sheriff in the State of Hockey. And a Swedish one, at that. His name? Jesper Wallstedt.
But you can call him The Wall of St. Paul. His teammates do. It’s a nickname befitting of a Minnesota Wild goaltender who’s rewriting the franchise’s rookie record books as one of the league’s breakout stars.
The Wild even made T-shirts to show their support. Wallstedt just wasn’t sure whether to join in on the fun or not.
