@helmerhallt14 @mattmurley19 Same 😢

@mattmurley19 We’ve canceled twice so far 😂

This game may never end. A lot of dinner resos on the strip have been cancelled.

@DNVR_Rudo Bednar & Cooper have a combined 0 Jack Adams trophies 😳

Bednar is the poster child of awards dont matter. From 48 point team to playoff team. Didn't win coty 1 seed and cup. Didn't win playoffs with an incredibly injured team. Didn't win playoffs with 49 different players. Didn't win Gonna win pres trophy and probably won't win

Beauty & Essex or Zuma next Thursday ? 🧐 🤔

@Bfhause Next time you get on the ice, you know what to do.

@bstokley14 This is the correct take. Downtown Denver during the 2010s was unbelievable. Tough to watch what’s happened post covid

Appreciate you but downtown Denver sucks buddy. It used to be awesome but it’s a train wreck now. I’m sorry if you don’t like it but it’s the TRUTH. Now the next problem is the crazies are trying to destroy the rest of Colorado

@CHN_AdamWodon @ClankoMedia Which one of them is a @HobeyBakerAward finalist?

The reason for the Gavin McKenna backlash is the constant over-glorification. Martone had a better year - but McKenna plays in prime time and Martone at 1:30. ESPN does a 5-min segment on him and doesn't mention the arrest - nor that he's a -4 and Martone is a +27. C'mon

There are no words to express how heartbroken we all are. Jessi Pierce (Hinrichs) was the most vibrant person - the life of the party, always with a smile on her face, always bringing a passion to every article and podcast and interview she did. Jessi simply loved covering the Wild and hockey throughout Minnesota and had a way of brightening everyone’s day with her upbeat, bubbly personality. I have literally NEVER met anybody that had a way of being EVERYBODY’s friend. More than anything, she absolutely loved Hudson, Cayden and Avery and was the greatest mother who did everything she could to bring joy to her sweetest kids. Even at Friday’s practice in her beloved Iowa State sweatshirt, she was so excited to take them to the seasonal opening of Cup and Cone in WBL. Seeing those precious pics yesterday, she provided them with another incredibly fun and loving day. My heart breaks for Mike for the loss of his wife and children and Jessi’s family, friends and colleagues for this unimaginable loss. This hockey community lost a wonderful, energetic and one of a kind voice and story teller and Grade A person. Life can be unbearably unfair sometimes, and it’s impossible to make sense of this tragedy. Please keep Jessi and her beautiful kids in your thoughts and prayers. I wish Mike all the peace and support and happiness in the world. A lot of tears were shed at the arena yesterday. We, in the Wild media and inside the Wild, will miss seeing Jessi everyday, laughing with her everyday. The press box and press room won’t be the same without her. It’ll be a lot quieter, a lot less funny. But her passion and joy for covering this hockey team and sport will remain. Sorry for the length of this, but as Jessi knew better than most as my original Athletic “backup” and somebody who always gave me Minnesota Hockey Journal deadline extensions, as she used to joke, I’m incapable of writing tight. Especially about her. RIP Jessi, Hudson, Cayden and Avery. 🙏💔

@ianwcanucks 2/2 Plus likely needing another city to host + hockey mad & NBA-less EDM makes sense for building availability. Tough to navigate a similar logistical event in a dual-league building like BOS, NY, PHI, WAS, LA, DEN, SLC, DAL, DET, CHI, VGK, SEA (both likely NBA by then)…

@ianwcanucks Disappointing the 🇺🇸 isn’t hosting but by ‘28, Calgary will be the newest building in the league by almost 7 years. And with the league having to, finally, give NYI their All-Star game, it makes for the league to naturally give CGY a marquee event like this… 1/2

Minnesota, the state of hockey, hosted the 2026 World Juniors and couldn't even fill half the arena in games not featuring the US... can't be surprised that a league that relies so much on ticket revenue chooses Canada as the host. The US games only averaged 79.8% capacity lol

@BFW Minneapolis/St Paul, Detroit, DC, Tampa if you only need 3. Pittsburgh. I think it ebbs & flows in certain cities based on bandwagon fans. When Vegas gets its MLB (or NBA) team, VGK likely will stay 2. Not currently but in the mid 2010s, I would’ve said Chicago. Not Boston

I need examples of a US city with at least three pro sports teams where the NHL team is top two in fandom in the city. Boys here said Detroit, DC and Tampa. I think I’ll give them DC and Tampa, but contest Detroit. Some guys said Minnesota, I think Twins are bigger than Wild.

@Sparty87654 @mostlysports @BFW This the most correct answer 👆

@mostlysports @BFW Denver, Detroit, Minneapolis, DC. Honestly I might guess Dallas too but idk how much they care about the Rangers. Stars 100% have to clear the Mavs after the Luka trade

Of the cities with the four big sports franchises, is hockey the number two sport in any of those cities? @BFW

5 goals on 10 Penguins shots.

I did not. Even you would’ve heard/seen it on the socials had I actually gone in… Still A+ experience all around though

Getting ready for @edmontonoilers ebug

Exciting news as tonight’s game is actually an 8:17 p.m. puck drop.

Just your reminder that this playoff system guarantees that 2 of Minnesota, Colorado, and Dallas will not make the Conference Finals.

Here’s the traditional annual pic. •Thursday, not a weekend •Mid-afternoon, not primetime •High school, not pro •Quarterfinal, not Championship But the State of Hockey’s cathedral is full of fans for the greatest tournament in the land. Stream it on Prep45.com
