General O’Soreness ☘️

@ClintHurdle13 That’s what I love about sports: so many life lessons can be learned if you’re willing. Thank you for laying this out. 👊🏻

During one of the worst losing streaks of my career, our team president walked into my office. Keli McGregor. One of the best men I've ever known. He could have come to vent. To question my decisions. To ask hard questions. Instead, he said: "Cut to the chase, Clint. What's next?" I looked him in the eye and gave him two words: "Shower well." The Colorado Rockies were struggling badly that year. Pregame preparation was solid. Scout meetings, early work, attention to detail. All of it was there. But at game time, the tires were flat. I told Keli: the game did everything it could to us today. We just couldn't meet its demands. Now it was time to reset. "Shower well" means exactly this: • Watch the frustration circle down the drain • Shampoo, rinse, repeat and get the grime of today completely off your mind • Walk out clean, go home, and actually rest Leave it at the ballpark. The game is over. There's nothing left to solve tonight. Keli nodded. Asked if he could share it with the whole organization. I said sure. And then it hit me. This isn't just for baseball. Bad day at the office. Grumpy boss. Missed deadline. Traffic on the way home. You can carry all of that through your front door. Or you can shower well. I've never seen a single problem get better because someone dragged it home with them. The reset is a discipline. Same as preparation. Same as showing up. Either we win. Or we learn. The only real loss? When you don't take a single thing out of a hard day. So tonight, whatever kind of day it was, shower well. Tomorrow is a new at-bat. What does your reset look like? I'd love to hear it.

I’m so done with this guy. Happens time and time again. Never more than half a second from getting his wires crossed. #MnWild

Jeezus H, cue up the Benny Hill theme song. #MnWild

Jeezus, Gus. Get those outta the way now. Yikes. #MnWild

@tpooba Haha, solid tweet. That notwithstanding, I’d rather listen to a TNT broadcast over our local goofs every day of the week.

@_2244 Anyone know how many goals Raddysh has. Geez enough already

Atta boy, Nick. Well done. #MnWild

Big Sexy an apple away from the Gordie #MnWild

You just know Marcus was losing his mind watching his brother pummel that big bastard. Marcus probably has an exercise bike at 20,000 rpms rn trying to blow off the adrenaline.

Very good road period. #VGRP #MNWild

@JeffMarek @CraigJButton Met Craig at the World Jrs in St Paul. Genuinely nice fella.

Great story from @CraigJButton here.

And of course Sabourin takes a late run at Quinn Hughes. Somebody needs to respond to that, stat. #MnWild

@RussosFilter I didn’t see much of a mustache, or a penalty there for that matter.

I blame Faber’s awful lip rug for that penalty. Some guys just don’t have the ability to grow a respectable stache, trust me, I’m one of them.

Got a feeling we may see more of that. Lightning lead the league in fighting majors. Good job, Big Sexy. Corey Perry FA’ed & FO’ed. #MnWild

Atta boy, Big Sexy. #MnWild

@rstanzel An organization that understands tragedy all too well.

#CBJ just gave $10K

@CMielock @Buccigross This is my sentiment, 100%. And I’m a Gopher fan.

@Buccigross He has WMU rolling, is an alum, and is getting a new building in 2027. He isn’t leaving unless it’s for the NHL.

I'm surprised Minnesota hasn't called Western Michigan's Pat Ferschweiler for the Head Coach opening. Born in Minnesota. Family there. Clearly an elite President, GM, Coach snd player developer which is the #cawlidgehawkey job. And he's in his prime.

@WHENESOTA I was there that day at Tom Reid’s. Man, still hasn’t sunk in yet.

Going back through old texts, emails and photos. So sad. 💔

@3180X @MNHockeyStar Don’t be such an asshole.

@MNHockeyStar Vague post so time to start a rumor. Russo died.

Gimme a Wild / Dallas first round, please. #MnWild

Haha, Hunter Haight just sent that goof Tyler Myers into his own net, 100% on his own.
