The Minnesota Wild face not only the challenge of the upcoming 2025-26 season but also the challenge of another bid to secure funding for renovation of the Grand Casino Arena and surrounding area. Having been denied funding by the state of Minnesota in last year’s legislative session for a comprehen...
That's Wild Well, that's one way to start your season. On Thursday night, in the first of 82 games, the Minnesota Wild visited their divisional rival, the St. Louis Blues, and beat them in such an embarrassing fashion. A 5-0 stunner. Ryan Hartman netted two goals, Matt Boldy and Kirill Kapri...
If you read centuries-old stories, you'll know the worst thing for anyone is to know their fate. In Macbeth, the title character, Corey Macbeth, is told he'll be King of Scotland, and uses that insight as permission to do terrible things. Oedipus Rex learns his future, and his attempt to avoid it on...
As the common saying goes, “Money is the root of all evil.” For all of the pocket-watchers who hate the Filip Gustavsson contract, that sentiment has to be top of mind. They also might cite Devan Dubnyk’s contract -- a deal that aged so poorly that Minnesota traded him in the 2020 offseason. T...
The first game of the season is here for the Minnesota Wild, and the boys are back to discuss it all, from Kaprizov to Gustavsson, to make-or-break players this season. For the first episode of season 2 of Wilderness Talk, this is one you won't want to miss! Leave any questions or predictions i...
When the Minnesota Wild take the ice for their season opener tonight, they’ll do so with something that they’ve never truly had: an elite offensive defenseman. That Zeev Buium is a highly-touted prospect is no secret. He’s considered a leading candidate for the Calder Trophy, and the consensus...
That's Wild Instead of the expected Danila Yurov debut, the Minnesota Wild might be actually handing the reins over to Hunter Haight, for him to make his NHL debut before the Russian forward. This is a sizeable heap of praise for the 21-year-old center after he had a pretty good rookie campa...
Early in the season (I can’t remember exactly when), someone in the comments (can’t remember who) brought up the idea of a tall vs. short Out of the Park tournament. Now that the Twins season is over, it’s time to make that a reality. With many thanks to whoever came up with the idea, we […]
When the Minnesota Wild made their final training camp roster moves on Sunday, more notable than the players they cut were the players they didn’t. Rookies Danila Yurov, Liam Ohgren, and Zeev Buium all made the opening night roster. Hunter Haight will be on it as well, with Nico Sturm and Mats Zucca...
Zeev Buium made history when he stepped on the ice for the Minnesota Wild’s first game against the Vegas Golden Knights in Round 1 last season. He became the first Wild player to debut during the playoffs. Buium had a strong start to his career and assisted Kirill Kaprizov on a power-play goal....
There has been a lot of talk about eras recently, but in the case of the Minnesota Wild, they kind of blur together. The Wild will begin their 25th season when they travel to take on the St. Louis Blues on Thursday night. While the sting of seven straight first-round playoff exits is still fre...
The Minnesota Wild have had a busy couple of weeks but they might not be done. According to TSN's Chris Johnston on Tuesday's episode of Insider Trading, the Wild might just be one of the few teams who are looking into signing unrestricted free agent forward Jack Roslovic. Roslovic...

The weather was too nice for a game like that on Sunday at Lambeau Field. With all the momentum of winning two games without Jordan Love, the Packers had no answers early for Sam Darnold, Aaron Jones and Justin Jefferson as they skated off to a 28-0 lead before fans could crack their first Miller Lite. The turnovers, the pass rush and just mistake-riddled effort is not what we had in mind. But even with the brutal start, the Packers made it more than interesting, getting to within 6 points f...
My source inside the Vikings organization tell me the Vikings saved some money this week by not needing to have Sam Darnold's jersey laundered. Look, I watched a lot of Sam Darnold when he played for the Jets. I liked him coming out of college and would always tell my Giants fans friends that he would be a better quarterback than Daniel Jones. He has a strong and accurate arm when he can comfortably step into throws, When he's under pressure is when it all falls apart and the interceptions and...
After re-watching the Packers game, here are three plays that made me go hmmm, for various reasons. In general, I try to focus on a theme, the less obvious, or things I didn't notice watching live. These are not likely to be "highlight" plays. Packers two-point conversion Before Matt LaFleur came to town, the Packers success on two point conversions ranked somewhere from middle of the pack to bottom third in the NFL. Since his arrival, their success rate has ranked them in the top 10 to to...
Not a great week! At least we had some glimpses of positivity and I don't have to write about a 30-point Packers loss. Vikings The Vikings held on to win against the Pack, 31-29 (there were two missed field goals for the Packers). Game Notes This was a weird one. The Vikings got out to a 28-0 lead thanks to some bad turnovers and missed opportunities from the Packers and then had an insane punt muff lead to a touchdown right before the half that started an avalanche of Packers point...

Much like the week one loss against the Eagles, Sunday's loss against the Vikings wasn't so much the story of a turning point as it was a number of missed opportunities. For the purposes of this article, I had a hard time picking just one play that turned the game in the Vikings' favor. Really, there are four. Here they are: Two missed field goals: Brayden Narveson's missed 37-yard and 48-yard field goals ended up being more than the difference on the scoreboard. There's no guarantees t...
Looking back at the entire history of the team, who are the 15 greatest Minnesota Vikings running backs of all-time?

The Yankees finally made their first big move of the offseason in a surprising trade with the Twins, but who was the winner of the trade? Last night, the Yankees made their first big splash of the offseason. New York sent Gary Sanchez and Gio Urshela to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for Isiah Kiner-Falefa, […]
