Latest blog entries from Minnesota teams across every league
The disrespect continues for the Minnesota Timberwolves. After the Timberwolves clawed back to even their Western Conference Semifinals series against the San Antonio Spurs at two games apiece, the latest NBA title odds dropped, and Minnesota somehow ended up with the longest odds of any remotely viable contender left standing. I’m excluding the Lakers who […]
After suffering their first loss of these playoffs against the Minnesota Wild by a final score of 5-1, the Colorado Avalanche look to bounce back tonight in Minnesota for Game 4 and hopefully take a 3-1 series lead. Colorado Avalanche The Avs arguably played their worst game of these playoffs in Game 3, and the […]
San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama was ejected from Game 4 of the Spurs’ second-round NBA Playoffs series against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday. Wembanyama got tossed early in the second quarter for throwing an elbow at Minnesota center Naz Reid after a lock-up while chasing a rebound. Wembanyama’s swing was clearly targeted, retaliation for […]
As expected, the NBA will not be taking any further action against Victor Wembanyama after he was ejected from Game 4 against the Minnesota Timberwolves for elbowing Naz Reid in the throat area, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. The incident occurred with 8:39 left in the second quarter, after Wemby had grabbed an offensive rebound, and […]
The Colorado Avalanche are at a crossroads heading into Monday night's Game Four match-up against the Minnesota Wild. The post Game Preview: Avs at a crossroads in Game Four vs. Minnesota appeared first on Hockey Mountain High .
The Twins had a 3-3 week, dropping two to the Nats, taking two from the Guardians, and currently sit last in the AL Central with an 18-23 record. First, the good news: after a slow start to the season, Byron Buxton is back to being a menace at the plate. Since April 13, Buxton has […]
Former Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is likely to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer when he becomes eligible for the Class of 2027 the next time the committee votes. Before he gets to Canton, however, he’s going to be enshrined in the place where he made his name in the NFL. The Vikings […]
The Minnesota Vikings may have pulled off the most quietly brilliant offseason in the NFL in 2026. While other teams burned cash on overpriced wideouts, the Vikings scooped up quarterback Kyler Murray for just $1.3 million two months ago and on Thursday, locked in physical wide receiver Jauan Jennings on an $8 million guaranteed deal. […]
What a game! I kind of inexplicably blacked out 12 minutes into the game and gained consciousness a few moments later to watch the rest of the entertaining wrestling match/basketball game trying to piece together what happened like in the movie Memento. You, fellow readers, get the pleasure of going with me on this journey […]
The Minnesota Wild have an opportunity to even the series against the Colorado Avalanche and it would be massive. Going down 2-0, not many people outside of Minnesota were thinking the Wild had a chance to make it a competitive series, but after Saturday's big 5-1 win for Game 3, now they certainly...
I refuse to stop covering the Twins, so I'm betting on myself and returning to my independent roots. Let's do this together.
Roch Cholowsky and Grady Emerson are likely to be off the board, but there are plenty of promising consolation prizes for the Twins.
It wasn't a pretty first 41 games for the Twins, but they've had plenty of standout individual performances worth appreciating.
Taj Bradley and Mick Abel have joined Pablo López and David Festa on the injured list, forcing the Twins to lean on young arms earlier than planned.
The Western Conference Semifinals between the Spurs and the Timberwolves keeps providing memorable matchups. On Sunday, Victor Wembanyama’s first-half ejection threatened to create a throwaway game, but the Silver and Black responded without their best player and battled to the very end before losing a heartbreaker, 114-109. The series will move back to San Antonio […]
What did Sunday night’s Game 5 win take for the Minnesota Timberwolves? “Some heart,” Rudy Gobert said to the Target Center crowd after the madness had ended. Where do we even start? Perhaps the part where this should have been less close than it ended up as, with a sharp elbow to the face? With […]
Early in the second quarter tonight, Victor Wembanyama, who was being manhandled by multiple players every time he entered the game, tried to spin his way out of a double bear hug from a couple of Wolves, and caught Naz Reid hard on the neck with an elbow. The referees called this a flagrant foul […]
Well, well, well, that win against the Colorado Avalanche felt good, didn’t it? The first two games of the series were not exactly what Minnesota Wild fans were looking for, but this third game showed that Minnesota is a true contender. Not only did they hang with the Avalanche, but they absolutely...

The Minnesota Wild needed a response in Game 3 against the Colorado Avalanche, and they got it emphatically. Behind a composed, confident performance from Jesper Wallstedt, the Wild snapped Colorado’s perfect postseason run with a 5-1 win at Grand Casino Arena, cutting the series deficit to 2-1 and...
Before any game action today, a quick shoutout to all the Moms out there this 2026 Mother’s Day! I just returned from a trip with my mom to see the Twins in Washington, D.C.! I calculated that she has now seen 10 baseball stadiums (one I’ll never get to—Metropolitan Stadium). It probably helps to have […]
What will a true open QB competition look like? How would fans truly be able to know what is happening on the practice fields? I know there is a faction of fans who prefer that JJ gets to start or wins the competition and that is cool. I just am not reading the tea leaves […]
Well, there you have it. The Minnesota Wild finally put their formula into practice. They have their blueprint! They won Game 3 on special teams, held their own 5-on-5, and Jesper Wallstedt regained his form. Do that three more times, and they can dig out of a 2-0 hole and upset the Colorado Avalanc...
First Chuck: 12:40 PM CDT (new anthem each week!) The Tube: Twins.TV The Dial: Treasure Island Baseball Network Spies ‘R Us: Covering The Corner If everything has gone to plan, I will have arrived back in Minneapolis last night from my Washington, D.C. jaunt. I’m sure I’ll have some pics/stories in a later post, but […]
Here’s the fourth installment of the second round’s Fraterniz With The Enemy, my ongoing, series-long conversation with Thilo of PtR’s sister site covering the Minnesota Timberwolves, Canis Hoopus. J.R. Wilco In the middle of a series that feels like a movie from a director intent on subverting expectations above all else, Game 3 was a […]
