First Pitch (CT): 6:40 PMTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN/830 WCCO/102.9 The Wolf /Audacy AppKnow Yo’ Foe: Bluebird Banter Bad news: The Twins keep losing extremely winnable games either due to offensive ineptitude, a bullpen built like it’s 2003, or a combination of the two. Good news: every other team in the AL is also bad. As I […]

Yakov Trenin’s return from an upper-body injury gave the Minnesota Wild a much-needed boost in Game 5 against the Dallas Stars, and his presence mattered in ways that went beyond the stat sheet. After missing the previous two games, Trenin returned to the lineup for a crucial swing game in a tied fi...

Their most important players include Kirill Kaprizov (5-foot-10), Quinn Hughes (5-foot-10), Jared Spurgeon (5-foot-9), and Mats Zuccarello (5-foot-8). On the other hand, their first-round opponent, the Dallas Stars, boast the second-tallest an...

San Antonio has officially wrapped up the first round, winning its first playoff series since 2017. Naturally, now all eyes look ahead in a “hurry up and wait” situation, as the 3-6 matchup plays out between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets. Regardless of how things play out, San Antonio sits in a position of […]
Mats Zuccarello’s return gave the Minnesota Wild exactly the spark they needed, and the effects were obvious almost immediately. Only 3 minutes and 51 seconds into the game, the Dallas Stars attempted to clear the puck out of their zone. Ryan Hartman intercepted the clearing attempt, passed th...
That's Wild It has never been easy to be a Minnesota sports fan, but something might happen for the first time ever and it's actually a good thing. The Minnesota Wild have the opportunity to close out their first-round series against the Dallas Stars Thursday night, as they currently hold a 3-2...
G’day everyone and a happy Mariners off-day to you! Cole Young was the hero once again yesterday in a 5-3 come-from-behind win over the Twins. The M’s closed out April with a clean 16-16 record. All things considered, I’m pretty satisfied with that (especially after a rough start to the year). How are you feeling […]
The playoffs are steadily widdling down the number of combatants, with the Penguins the latest to fall. Tonight the Wild-Stars and Ducks-Oilers resume their series, with the home team in each aiming to stave off elimination again. Yesterday’s late-breaking news was expected yet tempered by the Islanders’ late-season swoon: Ilya Sorokin is indeed one of […]
On Wednesday, the Minnesota Vikings announced that they signed Indianapolis Colts free agent defensive tackle Eric Johnson II, who was an unrestricted free agent, and will not count toward compensatory draft pick consideration: Originally a 2022 5th round pick of the Colts, the 27-year-old defensive tackle appeared in 51 career games for Indianapolis, recording 41 […]

Much is made about the so-called ‘sophomore slump’ in sports — you never know how a young player will respond as their opponents do anything and everything in their power to adjust to their game. After a slow start over the first couple of weeks, Cole Young has stabilized, and then some. It’s only fitting […]
Minnesota Wild goalie Filip Gustavsson could be a trade candidate to watch during the offseason. With Jesper Wallstedt stealing Minnesota's crease this playoffs, it is fair to wonder if the Wild could be open to moving Gustavsson during the summer if it helps them upgrade their roster elsewhere. Because of this, let's look at three teams that could target Gustavsson this summer if he is made available by the Wild. Edmonton Oilers The Oilers still need help between the pipes, so it would ...
The Mariners won Wednesday’s series finale against the Twins, giving them a 5-1 record on the road trip, but suffered a potentially serious loss in their bullpen. Matt Brash departed Wednesday’s game against Minnesota after throwing just two pitches with what manager Dan Wilson called “discomfort in his side.” Brash entered with the game tied […]
Think of where the Minnesota Wild stood after Game 3 of their series against the Dallas Stars. The Wild had squandered stealing home-ice advantage in Game 1 by giving up a 3-2 lead entering the third quarter. They failed to capitalize on Michael McCarron scoring his first-ever playoff goal aft...
The Minnesota Wild didn’t just survive Game 5 against the Dallas Stars; they controlled it with their defensive play.

Now that the 2026 NFL Draft has concluded, the next order of business for the Minnesota Vikings is to find themselves a new General Manager.
