Warroad goalie Patrick Kennedy gets a shutout in his tourney opener, then does the Jesper Wallstedt celly after the final horn.

Just got word that Lou Holtz has died. I went to UMD with a football player that had been recruited to Minnesota by Lou (and later transferred). He had a line I'll never forget:

Rest in peace.

While I still see a strong chance that Vincent Trocheck is wearing red and green in Vegas on Friday night, a source in the Big Apple tells me that Detroit is making a strong push to land the prolific faceoff-winner.

Wild trade for depth forward Michael McCarron The 6-foot-6 veteran is renowned for winning defensive zone faceoffs.

Wild’s Bill Guerin digs in with NHL trade deadline looming “I like to feel that, you know, I was right,” he said. “I don’t look for that from anybody. Like, we won the gold medal. That’s enough.”

Bill Guerin responded to the Team USA celebration backlash today: “I don’t care what people say or what they think.” www.twincities.com/2026/03/01/w...

Wild focused more on playoffs than overtaking Colorado in Central “I don’t think it’s about catching people, I think it’s about growing our game to get it to the best place it can possibly be,” Matt Boldy said after scoring a pair of empty net goals in a 5-2 vict…

All three of the #mnwild US Olympians are on the ice for morning skate in Denver.

This is what happens when you post when not fully awake. Cale. Not cake.

Cake Makar and Brock Nelson played last night in a 4-2 Avalanche win in Utah. Nathan MacKinnon sat out, but is expected to play vs. the #mnwild tonight in Denver.
