Guillaume Latendresse, the Wild's newest player, has no nickname.

"Everyone asks me that," he said with a smile.

If they don't go with "GL," maybe people should call him "QS" for "quick study" after he stepped into Minnesota's lineup without a minute of practice and held his own in the Wild's 5-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Friday afternoon at the Xcel Energy Center.

Latendresse, 22, picked up in a trade with the Montreal Canadiens earlier this week for Benoit Pouliot, resolved his work visa Wednesday, flew to the Twin Cities on Thursday and was inserted into the lineup by Wild coach Todd Richards
on Friday.


I like "Little Willy" how about you?

Well, Guillaume is French for William... and it'd be like one of those ironic nicknames. Like calling a bald guy "Curly".

I like it!

Plus any excuse to play any song by The Sweet is okay by me. Just as long as we don't have to associate it with another Willie who plays for a divisional rival.
