Bulls 126, Timberwolves 120: The Dress Rehearsal
With the start of the regular season less than a week away, the Minnesota Timberwolves took on the Chicago Bulls, looking to tune up a few final areas before starting their 2025-26 campaign. The Timberwolves played their full rotation of starting players in the game, with Naz Reid as the lone exception, as he missed […]
Sustainable? Nope. But the Wild Power Play Is For Real
It's hard to emphasize just how weird this feels to type: The Minnesota Wild have the best power play in the NHL. If that's ever been true before, it's never been for long. Since the Wild's inception in 2000-01, their power play percentage has been 18.0%, 24th of 32 teams. (I refuse to split up...
Sixers practice notebook: PG plays 5-on-5; who plays in preseason finale?
The Sixers will play their final preseason game Friday at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After that, it’s time for opening night in Boston against the Celtics next Wednesday. The injury updates from Thursday’s practice were mostly positive: No matter if Embiid plays or not, Nurse is looking to get his available regulars as much […]
The Wild Still Have A Gap To Fill
The Dallas Stars entered Tuesday’s national TV game on a 14-game point streak against the Minnesota Wild (9-0-5). Dallas made it 15 after an 8:50 pm puck drop on ESPN. It’s unwise to make sweeping generalizations about early results. Still, it’s also wrong to dismiss them entirely. The Wi...
Will Less Strain Mean More Productivity For Joel Eriksson Ek?
Joel Eriksson Ek is back to full health and has resumed his role as a key player for the Minnesota Wild, especially on the power play. He’s averaging 19:55 time on ice per game (TOI/G) through the Wild’s 4 regular season games, has scored a power play goal, and has 3 assists. Although they los...
Zeev Buium Starting Career Comparable to Cale Makar
That's Wild No one truly expected Minnesota Wild rookie Zeev Buium to score a boatload of points in his first ever regular season games. Especially after he somewhat faltered during his debut in the playoffs last season, Buium was largely seen as someone who might need a few weeks to get the fe...
The Minnesota Wild Have A Kid Conundrum
The Minnesota Wild were always going to be walking on a high wire this season. They're a playoff-caliber team laden with veterans who've been in the fold for a half-decade or more. It's also the case that they're working on bringing along four rookies into the NHL (as well as not-a-rookie-but-21-yea...

How to Watch the Timberwolves-Bulls Preseason Game
Timberwolves Blow Past the Loong-Lions, Now Set Their Sights on the Bulls — and Reality Let’s be honest: that 60-point curb-stomping of the Loong-Lions wasn’t basketball, it was cardio with referees. That’s what the preseason is for: one part entertainment, one part lab experiment, and one part “please don’t let anyone get hurt.” After two […]
Ryan Hartman Looks Recharged After A Tumultuous Year
Ryan Hartman had a turbulent season with the Minnesota Wild last year. He only registered 26 points in 69 games, his lowest scoring total since the 2020-21 campaign. The pesky forward also drew the longest suspension in the league when the NHL banned him for 10 games (later reduced to eight) after a...
Jesper Wallstedt Finally Got To Be A Normal Goalie
When Marco Rossi scored a goal to put the Minnesota Wild ahead 1-0 in the fourth round of the shootout, all eyes went back to the other end of the ice. How would Jesper Wallstedt -- who'd already turned away Adrian Kempe, Trevor Moore, and Kevin Fiala -- hold up in a huge-pressure situation? If...
Appreciating Byron Buxton in 2025: A Top Five List
Much like the current theatrical film of the same name, Byron Buxton took Minnesota Twins fans on a big, bold, beautiful journey in 2025. In a year that appalled a large section of the fanbase, Buxton managed to post a season for the ages. Let’s take a look at what I consider to be the […]
Wild Earn Gutsy Shootout Win Over Kings

Timberwolves 134, Loong-Lions 74: Exactly As Expected
If you wanted to watch the Minnesota Timberwolves’ first-round pick, Joan Beringer, play in NBA competition, you got that for a small portion of this game. That’s about all I can report. Former NBA journeyman Frank Kaminsky, a starting member of the Guangzhou Loong-Lions and coming off of a team-leading 22 point game against the […]
Takeaways from the First Two Games (Podcast)
The Minnesota Wild have started the season 1-1-0 with a victory over the St. Louis Blues and an ugly loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets in the home opener. The guys break down both of these games and get into some hot takes at the start of the year! Leave any questions or comments down below, an...
The Wild Need A Malkin And Letang To Truly Contend
Kirill Kaprizov worked out with Evgeni Malkin in the offseason, which is both fitting and endearing. Kaprizov, 28, the small-town cherub from Novokuznetsk in the Oblast, learning from Malkin, 39, the wily veteran from Magnitogorsk. Even someone with a steely-cold heart has to love that. A month...
Preseason Preview: Timberwolves vs. Guangzhou Loong-Lions
Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Guangzhou Loong-LionsDate: October 13th, 2025Time: 7:00 PM CDTLocation: Target CenterTelevision Coverage: NBA League PassRadio Coverage: KFAN FM, Wolves App, iHeart Radio After back-to-back overtime losses, the 1-2 Timberwolves get a chance to “right the ship” Monday night when the Guangzhou Loong-Lions of the Chinese Basketball Association make their third and final stop […]
How to Watch the Timberwolves-Loong-Lions Preseason Game
It’s Monday night, Minnesota versus the Lions. And for one brief moment, you might do a double take. “Wait, are we talking football?” Nope. Not even close. This isn’t the NFC North. This is the NBA preseason, where logic takes a backseat, and we’re about to watch the Minnesota Timberwolves host the Guangzhou Loong-Lions of […]
Five Insane Minnesota Wild Predictions For the 2025-26 Season
There are plenty of articles out there predicting who will win the Stanley Cup, where each team will finish in the league standings, and which player will come away with the Hart, Vezina, Calder, etc. How about a few predictions of fun, whimsical things that I would love to see the Minnesota Wild do...
Phillies Town | Dodgers 2, Phillies 1: And Now My Watch is Ended
Welcome to Phillies Town, Twinkie Town’s Philadelphia Phillies playoff coverage because I like watching Jhoan Duran play baseball and don’t handle change well. Let’s go Phillies! While I didn’t anticipate this going into this feckless experiment, it turns out that rooting for the Phillies was fairly similar to rooting for the Twins. Maybe there’s some […]
The Minnesota Wild Face An Arena Funding Challenge
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.

Wild Open Season With Dominating 5-0 Over Blues
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...
The Minnesota Wild Are Finally Headed Into the Unknown
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...
Will Gustavsson's Extension Become An Albatross Like Devan Dubynk's?
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...
