The Philadelphia Flyers were not one of the busiest teams at the trade deadline this year, but they reportedly were calling the Montreal Canadiens about a goal-scoring winger that they probably could’ve had for very cheap.
Instead of adding a whole lot, the Flyers paid more attention to addressing some problems at the trade deadline. They moved from their winger surplus and got a very high-potential defenseman in the Bobby Brink-David Jiricek deal with the Minnesota Wild. They were able t...
The Blackhawks and Wild renew acquaintances on Thursday night in the Twin Cities, just about 48 hours after the Wild beat the Hawks 4-3 in overtime on Tuesday night at the United Center, which has been the outcome of every meeting between these two Central Division foes this season.
There’s nothing new to report on either team, so no need for a lengthy preamble here. The win on Tuesday means that it’s now a 19-game unbeaten streak for Minnesota (18-0-1) against Chicago, a streak that’s ju...
The NBA has experienced a raft of injuries this year. On the heels of Minnesota Timberwolves perpetual MVP candidate Anthony Edwards going down with a knee injury, now another player on the fringes of that discussion has suffered a serious blow. Shams Charania of ESPN is reporting that Cade Cunningham, lead guard of the Detroit […]
As I was preparing this, the Wentz signing popped. This is very interesting and curious to say the least. Is it a precursor to a trade of JJ? I don’t think so but I would not be surprised. The latest new in free agency was the signing of Johnny Hekker and Ryan Van Demark. The […]
The Minnesota Wild’s last three games have exposed bad habits and a level of sloppiness that will not translate to playoff success, especially against opponents they should be beating. If this group wants to make any kind of run, their standard must rise immediately in their details, effort, and exe...
That's Wild
Less than a year ago, the Minnesota Wild were being heralded for their prospect pool. For a team not completely bottoming out and picking consistently in the top 10 every year, they accrued a whole lot of talent thanks to Judd Brackett. But, as Scott Wheeler is going through his...
In a significant departure from how they handled things last season, it appears that the Minnesota Vikings will have their quarterback room settled well in advance of the 2026 season. According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Vikings are re-signing quarterback Carson Wentz, presumably to fill out their quarterback room alongside J.J. McCarthy […]
The Minnesota Timberwolves are truly an epiphany in basketball. Before tonight the Wolves had lost four of their last six games. Despite being one of the most marketable and successful teams in their history, the regular season has always seemed like a red herring for what they actually are. Case in point them being 12th […]
In a long NBA season, certain games can speak volumes about who a team is and what the trajectory of their season can be. This was not one of those nights. On Wednesday night, the Minnesota Timberwolves took on the tanking Utah Jazz in a game that more closely resembled a pickup game than a […]
Now that the first and biggest wave of NFL free agency is over, let’s take a look at how the Minnesota Vikings’ division opponents fared and what impact that may have on the division race this season. Chicago Bears The NFC North division champions of a year ago got there in large part due to […]
Before we go too deep, let’s get something clear. Outside of commissioner Gary Bettman and the Utah Mammoth, who could enjoy a cakewalk to the Western Conference Finals, everybody hates the NHL’s format for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The Minnesota Wild have one of the strongest arguments agains...
The Jazz have achieved 2 essential losses already on this quick road trip, and are looking to continue the trend Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, these are not the same Timberwolves we’ve gotten used to seeing in the Western Conference finals; they will be without star guard Anthony Edwards, who is projected to be […]

I’m sure, by now, that you’ve heard of Bobby Brink.
He’s a Minnesota native, and he is NOT allowed to go to the box office. Apparently, everybody is supposed to feel really strongly about Bill Guerin forbidding Brink from spearheading friends-and-family ticket purchases.
On top of that,...
The Minnesota Wild made their big swing earlier this season, pulling off a blockbuster deal, landing the second-best defenseman in hockey, Quinn Hughes. But according to reports, GM Bill Guerin will be right back on his horse this summer, setting up for his "next superstar swing." Wild insider Michael Russo of The Athletic tells us that " there’s a reason — and a good one — that Guerin didn’t blow the Wild’s remaining potential trade assets at this year’s deadline for B players. He has every i...
The Chicago Tribune’s Brad Biggs reported today that the Chicago Bears were signing 27-year-old defensive tackle James Lynch. The 6’4”, 295-pound Lynch was originally a fourth-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 2020 after playing his college ball at Baylor. He was in Minnesota until 2024, but missed all of 2023 with a knee injury […]
Watching 42 on Friday’s movie night, I had forgotten that among shots of MLB players wearing 42 during the pre-credits montage, there is one at Target Field. That got me thinking about the Twins who have worn #42 outside of April 15 every year, and checking Baseball Reference, there have been just six. (Two of […]
Jared Spurgeon isn’t just the quiet heartbeat of the Minnesota Wild's blue line. He's one of the franchise’s defining figures, shaping the team’s identity on the ice and the organization's and community's culture away from it.
Since arriving in Minnesota as an undersized, overlooked defenseman...
That's Wild
The Minnesota Wild were able to have a well-earned 4-3 overtime win over the Chicago Blackhawks (even if the score shouldn't have been that close) and after losing their previous three games to non-playoff teams, that was so desperately needed. Even if the puck bounced one single ot...

A late Chicago goal forced overtime on Tuesday night at the United Center before Minnesota scored during the extra session for its third 4-3 OT win over the Blackhawks this season.
An old friend opened the scoring, with Ryan Hartman finding a soft spot in the low slot for this relatively easy goal that made it a 1-0 Wild game about six minutes into the first period:

They made you sweat a little bit for it, didn’t they? The Phoenix Suns came into Target Center on the tail end of a back-to-back, playing in Boston and losing to the Celtics the night before. Making things more intriguing was the Minnesota Timberwolves’ relation in the standings to Phoenix. Separated by just two games, […]
With Ryan Wright departing for New Orleans early in free agency, the Minnesota Vikings needed a punter to fill out their group of specialists, and they added one with quite the résumé on Tuesday night. Per numerous sources, the Vikings have agreed to the terms of a one-year contract with punter Johnny Hekker. At one […]
The Chicago Blackhawks are ushering in a new-era of hockey with Connor Bedard leading the way. Slowly, but surely, the Blackhawks continue to trade veteran talent, and their last move saw former Captain Nick Foligno dealt to the Minnesota Wild, a chance to play postseason hockey for a job well done. Now, the Blackhawks have another tough decision to make with pending unrestricted free agent Matt Grzelcyk. Signed as a free agent in July to a one-year, $1 million average...
