The Minnesota Wild curbed some issues that cost them in previous postseasons. Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy broke through, scoring five goals on the top line. Ryan Hartman and Marcus Foligno (mostly) stayed out of the penalty box and provided vital secondary scoring.

The Wild Are Wile E. Coyote Suspended In Midair – Minnesota Wild
As a kid, I loved Saturday morning cartoons, especially Looney Tunes. Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner had a fun cat-and-mouse dynamic that matched anything you’d see on Tom and Jerry. Wile E. Coyote would set traps for the Road Runner, often using more dynamite than you’d find in a Wisconsin warehouse. However, he… Continue reading The Wild Are Wile E. Coyote Suspended In Midair – Minnesota Wild
Minnesota Vikings Zeroing in on the NFL Draft They Want to Host
Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Everything the NFL does turns into appointment television (except for maybe the Pro Bowl). But just about everything else, including the NFL Draft, which is the most-watched out of season sporting events on the planet. Of course, Roger Goodell and the league knows this fact. It’s why they turned the made-for-television… Continue reading Minnesota Vikings Zeroing in on the NFL Draft They Want to Host
The Wild Created A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy With Marco Rossi – Minnesota Wild
Somehow, the biggest lightning rod in the Minnesota Wild’s abbreviated playoff run was the player with the team’s third-fewest minutes. But that’s what fans will focus on when a team takes Marco Rossi, their second-leading scorer in the regular season, and plays him for 11 minutes and 8 seconds per night. For context, that’s less… Continue reading The Wild Created A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy With Marco Rossi – Minnesota Wild
The Marco Rossi Madness Has To End – Minnesota Wild

Finding one more goal — anywhere — was the difference between going back to Vegas with the Golden Knights demoralized or with home ice advantage in a de facto best-of-three. You can’t get picky about where the goals come from… Continue reading The Marco Rossi Madness Has To End – Minnesota Wild
The Wild’s Moral Victory Era Is Already Over – Minnesota Wild
The State of Hockey woke up on Wednesday morning, hungover from the realization that all this has happened before, and is happening again. The plucky Minnesota Wild built a 2-1 lead, only to find themselves unable to put away their opponent and fall behind in the series 3-2. Nothing is different than their previous two… Continue reading The Wild’s Moral Victory Era Is Already Over – Minnesota Wild
The Wild Had An Insidious Appeal This Season – Minnesota Wild
You couldn’t have written a better script for the Minnesota Wild to start the 2023-24 season. Coming off a year where they had missed the playoffs for the second time since 2012-13, expectations were low for a team considered a fringe playoff contender. However, the Wild changed everybody’s opinion by sprinting out of the gate.… Continue reading The Wild Had An Insidious Appeal This Season – Minnesota Wild
The Minnesota Wild Missed Out On A 2003 Repeat – Minnesota Wild
As a human with a father, I was chatting with my dad about the Minnesota Wild’s series between Games 5 and 6. We both lamented the back-to-back overtime losses that turned a 2-1 series lead into a 3-2 deficit. Was it a bummer? Sure was. But it wasn’t until he said something that I figured… Continue reading The Minnesota Wild Missed Out On A 2003 Repeat – Minnesota Wild
The Ghost of Playoffs Past Still Haunt the Wild – Minnesota Wild
Jared Spurgeon and Jonas Brodin are the only two Minnesota Wild players who’ve played in the second round of the playoffs. Every other player has never seen a second round in Minnesota. The Wild have players who have won it all, some more than once. However, for this Minnesota team and its fans, the second… Continue reading The Ghost of Playoffs Past Still Haunt the Wild – Minnesota Wild
