Last season was a rollercoaster ride for the Minnesota Wild.While rollercoasters are fun at the amusement park, they’re not fun when it comes to your sports team. This offseason, the Wild have a lot to check off the to-do list if they’re going to ensure this upcoming season goes a bit more smoothly than an amusement […]

The wildfires in Fort McMurray, Canada, continue to blaze on, despite Canadian officials’ best efforts to keep the massive fires under control. The fire, which has burned for over three weeks, has affected hundreds of thousands of Canadians, including a handful of NHL players. The Minnesota Wild’s Jared Spurgeon is one of those players. Spurgeon’s wife, […]

The Minnesota Wild, by some stroke of magic or luck, found a way to do the impossible Friday night. Facing elimination in Game 5, the Wild looked like they were ready to end the 2015-16 season early in the game. The team looked tired and sloppy – but here they are, somehow, scheduled to play Game […]

The Minnesota Wild knew this first-round series against the Dallas Stars was going to be a challenge, and Thursday night’s game was a painful reminder of just how out of out-of-place the Wild are in this match-up. It was clear from puck drop that the Stars came to play, and the injury-ridden Wild didn’t. To […]

The Minnesota Wild have secured a spot in the postseason for the fourth consecutive year in a row. It’s probably safe to say not many people thought that would be the case a few months ago. Despite a rollercoaster season, this team managed to work its way into the final Wild Card spot in the […]

The 2015-16 regular season is not over yet, but it’s safe to say this year hasn’t been the Minnesota Wild’s greatest season. While the Wild still has a chance to secure a playoff spot, and is technically among the better teams in the league, this team has dealt with inconsistency, lengthy losing streaks and a lack […]

The postseason is right around the corner, and the Minnesota Wild are in the midst of a battle with the Colorado Avalanche for the last wild card spot in the Western Conference. After the Wild’s Saturday afternoon win against the Carolina Hurricanes, Minnesota is only one point back (77) of catching Colorado (78). With a win […]

The Minnesota Wild have a little over one month left to play in the 2015-16 regular season. A month ago, it seemed April 9 was going to be the last time Minnesota took the ice this season. Yet despite the team’s annual mid-season slump last month, the Wild just might have a chance to play past April. […]

This weekend, the Minnesota Wild will take the ice at TCF Bank Stadium for the team’s first-ever outdoor game. While the Stadium Series is undoubtedly a special event for the entire team, the outdoor game on campus at the University of Minnesota is a little more special for those players that got their start here with […]

Outdoor hockey is officially back in Minnesota, and the weekend Wild fans have waited for is finally here. The 2016 Coors Light Stadium Series is only a day away, and the Minnesota Wild are ready to take on the Chicago Blackhawks in the team’s first-ever outdoor game. Preparing for the Stadium Series While this game is definitely […]

Things aren’t exactly going well for the Minnesota Wild lately, but almost everyone is already aware of that. Since the beginning of 2016, the Wild has gone 3-14-2, unable to find a way to get out of a month-and-a-half-long slump. Now that’s not really something most Minnesotans are too thrilled with, but there’s still one […]

If you’re a Minnesota Wild fan, this past year might not seem like it was anything truly special. There was no Cup; no first-round choice in the draft; no huge offseason acquisition or mega-trade. But if you look a little closer, the past 365 days have actually been pretty good for the State of Hockey. […]

The holiday season is here, and most of us have probably started filling our Christmas lists with requests for hockey tickets, jerseys, sticks and pucks. This December, the Minnesota Wild also have a few things it should consider adding to its Christmas list: 1. An End to the Injuries Since the end of October, the […]

November was far from easy for the Minnesota Wild. After starting the month without Justin Fontaine and Tyler Graovac and losing Zach Parise on Nov. 5 to a sprained MCL, the Wild continued to lose team members (and games) to various injuries and illnesses. It’s safe to say the month of November was a bit of a struggle […]

Thanksgiving is only days away, and that means everyone is starting to think about all the things they’re thankful for. Family, friends and health are the answers you typically hear when families gather together during the holidays. But if you’re a Minnesota Wild fan, here are ten more reasons you should be thankful this Thanksgiving. 1. It’s Hockey Season […]

The Minnesota Wild have yet again lost another forward. After suffering the loss of Tyler Graovac in the season opener and Justin Fontaine on Oct. 30, Minnesota most recently lost its hometown boy Zach Parise to a right-knee injury. In Thursday night’s game against the Nashville Predators, Parise took a nasty hit from Predators left-wing James […]

Preview previews: Mikko Koivu, Jonas Brodin, Mikael Granlund, Nino Niederreiter In today’s preview, defenseman Ryan Suter takes the stage. 2014-15 Review Ryan Suter had a rough year in 2014-15, but let’s give the guy a break – his year was much tougher off the ice than on. As most hockey fans recall, Suter’s father, Bob, […]

Previous previews: Mikko Koivu, Jonas Brodin, Mikael Granlund In today’s Minnesota Wild preview, we’ll take a look at Nino Niederreiter. 2014-15 Review Nino Niederreiter may very well go down in Minnesota Wild history as one of general manager Chuck Fletcher’s best trades. Two seasons ago, Fletcher acquired Niederreiter in exchange for Cal Clutterbuck and a […]

Today, we continue our Minnesota Wild previews and predictions with Mikael Granlund. Previous previews: Mikko Koivu, Jonas Brodin 2014-15 Review Last season, Mikael Granlund was, well, honestly, he was pretty disappointing. After a dazzling performance during the Wild’s playoff run in 2013-14, Granlund seemed to finally have found his scoring touch. Entering this past season, Minnesota […]

Minnesota Wild hockey starts in less than two months. While that amount of time may still seem daunting to you, the season is closer than you think. Before you know it, Mikko Koivu, Zach Parise, Devan Dubnyk and the rest of the team will take the ice at the Xcel Energy Center on October 10. […]
