Latest blog entries from Minnesota teams across every league
In case anyone hasn’t heard, the Green Bay Packers have an opening at defensive coordinator after Jeff Hafley was hired to be the head coach of the Miami Dolphins earlier this week. The team has already lined up interviews with several candidates, including Eagles passing game coordinator Christian Parker, Vikings passing game coordinator Daronte Jones, […]
The Baseball Hall of Fame Class of 2026 was finalized yesterday with the election(s) of Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones. While so much has been said about the electees, I’m curious about the players who didn’t get in. Of the 11 first-time nominees who fell off the ballot yesterday, none were Twins; of returning players, […]
The Minnesota Wild are expressing interest in hard-nosed, two-way New York Rangers center Vincent Trocheck. Last summer, I wrote about Trocheck being a good fit for the Wild. Now it looks like general manager Bill Guerin wants to trade for him. Let's face it, the Wild aren't getting a fr...
After wrapping up a three-game road trip, the Montreal Canadiens were back at the Bell Centre to host one of the top teams in the league, the Minnesota Wild. With the visitors playing the second half of a back-to-back, the Habs were in full control of the game at five-on-five, and ultimately took a 4-3 win in regulation thanks to a thrilling Cole Caufield goal with 15 seconds left on the clock. It was a thrilling way for the home crowd to celebrate a win, notwithstanding the strange nature of ...
Minnesota Wild GM Bill Guerin didn’t land Quinn Hughes and call it a day. The Athletic's Michael Russo and Joe Smith speculated Minnesota is still hunting for a legit first line center or an elite scoring winger, and the wildest twist is that Jesper Wallstedt could be the “shocking” name dangled to make it happen. Jesper Wallstedt as trade bait changes everything Moving a blue chip goalie is the kind of idea that makes a fanbase flinch, but there is some logic to the idea. Zeev Buuim...
The Texas back-to-back was fun, but in both matchups, a shorthanded Minnesota Timberwolves team was edged in the last few minutes of each game. Minnesota looked to get back on track in a slightly later than usual 8 PM CT tipoff against the Utah Jazz in the place that Rudy Gobert, Mike Conley, Joe Ingles, […]
The Utah Jazz win a close one against the Minnesota Timberwolves, with a final score of 122-127. This marks the first time the Jazz have won without Lauri Markkanen this season. After a stretch of uncompetitive games, the Jazz played Minnesota wire-to-wire, led by Keyonte George’s career night. George finished with 43 points and three […]
First period The crowd picks up where it left of at the end of the last homestand, with a loud “Go Habs Go!” chant. Each line played its first shift in Minnesota’s zone. Ivan Demidov worked himself into the best chance of the opening minutes, but passed off from a prime scoring area. He needs to be a little more selfish. It looks like Montreal’s legs work again. Kirill Kaprizov passes the puck from behind Montreal’s net right to Juraj Slafkovský, and he sends his linemate...
Dodgers utility man Ryan Fitzgerald cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, per MLB transaction logs. This keeps Fitzgerald around as a potential depth option on the position-player side, though he is currently not on the 40-man roster. Fitzgerald was claimed by the Dodgers off waivers from the Twins on […]

While developing young players has been a bit rocky in the Minnesota Wild organization over the past few years, give them credit where it's due: They seem to have nailed it with Danila Yurov. One of the Wild's two first-rounders from the 2022 Draft, Yurov made the trek overseas this summer for...
Paul Toboni and the Washington Nationals made an interesting move on the waiver wire this afternoon. They claimed utility-man Mickey Gasper from the Twins and DFA’d Andry Lara to make room for him on the 40-man roster. While Gasper is 30 and has not had success at the MLB level yet, it is easy to […]
As the NHL trade season approaches, we should start to see some clarity on which teams will be buyers, which will be sellers, and how they could fit together in trade discussions. The Minnesota Wild and the New York Rangers are two teams that already seem like a natural fit. Minnesota has gone...
José Berríos came to the Jays in a trade with the Twins at the deadline in 2021. Austin Martin and Simeon Woods Richardson went to Minnesota. The Jays signed Berrios to a seven-year, $131 million contract after the 2021 season. There is an opt-out after the 2026 season, and there are $5 million incentive bonuses […]

Coming off a dramatic win against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Spurs concluded their 3-game homestand by taking on the Utah Jazz.

A week or so after it looked like it might, potentially, be another rough offseason for Minnesota Vikings reciever Jordan Addison, it appears that things are going to be a lot smoother than anticipated. Per Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, charges are not going to be filed against Addison stemming from an incident in […]

Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver and Minnesota Vikings defesnive coordinator Brian Flores are both set to meet with the team in person for second interviews. Additionally, former Dallas Cowboys and Green […]
The Minnesota Wild’s goaltenders have quietly become a big part of how the Wild get out of their zone cleanly, generate rush chances, and protect their own blue line. It’s all about how they handle the puck. Yesterday's overtime game against the Buffalo Sabres was a perfect example. Gustavsson...
Yeesh. The first five minutes of this game looked like it could’ve been a much different type of night, as the Leafs tilted the ice and created good looks for Easton Cowan off an OEL-generated rebound and a deflection off the ref that set up Steven Lorentz, who could easily have three or four goals […] The post Game Review: Fatigued Maple Leafs continue to struggle defensively in loss to Wild appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
In this episode of The Real Forno Show, hosted by Tyler Forness with producer Dave Stefano on Vikings 1st & SKOL, the duo dissects the Minnesota Vikings’ offseason moves amid the NFL coaching carousel.

Results A strong case can be made that Johan Santana was the greatest starting pitcher to ever spin it for this franchise. He was perhaps never better than on this day… In front of 36,353 Dome faithful—including Twinkie Town’s own resident film buff & storyteller extraordinaire—Santana was indeed (in the words of Dick Bremer): “Awesome…absolutely […]
