It's not just the Wild, it's every major Minnesota pro sports team.  This may be the Land of 10,000 Lakes, but there is definitely something wicked in the waters.  Check out the '91 SC game 7, to only be followed by the team pulling up roots and transplanting in Texas shortly after with a Lord Stanley cup raising.  Or your '98 Vikings where they dominated the season, only let that rock slip based on an entire controversy of poor decisions late in the playoff game, followed by the Vikings being the hospice of aging QB's.  The Twins wins in 87 and 91 were pure flukes.  How about the re-signing of local pretty boy Mauer and his partner Morneau to lucrative MLB contracts, to have then perpetually injured and we are left with only a few car dealerships bearing the former's name.  Add insult to injury, the Minnesota tax payers have footed the bill for several billion dollar stadiums.  Welcome to Minnesota, where everything is good enough to get by, but not good enough to be the Champion apparently.  The only team I follow anymore is the Wild, and that will be questionable after the next few seasons too.  Wild will need to take everything they can get or muster up, but in the end, will it be enough?  Wild need more than Hino to overcome the odds.

Hearing rumblings of getting Nyquist back.  No confirmed trade as of yet.  After the last few games, the broken down shells of Havlat, Heatley, and Vanek would be worth trying at this point.

What a sad commentary, probably all true, but sad never-the-less. I guess as Minnesota sports fans, we just have to embrace the suck and stay true to our teams or just bail.

I like Strohs light 15 packs. Dude is better than NoNo at least.

Nyquist at 50% for a 2026 2nd.  A bit steep, but whatever to get Johansson off top 6.
