Russo’s Slacks

@RussoHockey W!!!!

Huge keep in by Faber. Man’s goal by Eriksson Ek

I find it astonishing that Mn v FLA got the early start over Vegas v EDM. I'm sure @RussoHockey tried his hardest to put the Wild on the late, ESPN slate.

@StickOnIceGuy @RussoHockey Yes

@RussosSlacks @RussoHockey Which one is Gorg?

Massive goal by Hartman. Dominant period and finally score. Hartman started that by escaping his buddy, Hinostroza, in the D zone

@RussoHockey #correx

My mistake. He escaped Gregor

@RussoHockey Trenin, AKA, the Foligno’s new big sister.

Marcus Foligno’s first goal in first game back he gets to celebrate with his brother, right to his right. What a great play by Trenin

@AnthonyLaPanta Aren’t you Panther??

Good to see that all of those “diehard life long Panther fans” that were seen in public for the first time ever during the Stanley Cup Finals have gone back into hiding.

Thanks for the ESPN game, @RussoHockey . 🙄

Hughes has been great for the Wild, but I think his work on Minority Report was his best.

@RussosFilter He may be on to something there.

38 decided they’d have a better chance at tying it up with him in the box

F

Sabourin…

Perry…

@RussosFilter Kenny’s the best.

It’s been so awesome getting Kenny Albert and Brian Bouchard on so many Wild games lately.

@RussoHockey So immensely saddening. My deepest condolences.

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. 🙏💔

@RussoHockey I bet he has more in the tank, too.

43 goals for Cole Caufield 🧢🧢🧢

I just ran out of gas if somebody can pick me up on side of I-94. I’ll be the one with Starbucks in my hand

Game's over, so let's all now hope @RussoHockey has enough coffee to make it home.
