Wild Wolves

I believe it's the Wild's first playoff series win since 2015. To finally get it against the #^*(%$#! Stars just sweetens it more. Their reward? Playing the Avalanche 😬

And the Wolves.. holy cow. No DDV (blown Achilles), no Ant, no whoever it was who went off for 40 the last game, team shoots 7-29 from 3... and win by 12. Now they get the media darling Spurs. Wolves might get a foul call by game 4... 😏

The last 2 games for both teams were amazing. Sadly last nights broadcast of the wild was the final broadcast for FSN/BALLEYS/FAN Duel sports....25 years of wild wolves twins gopher hockey and more comes to an end. Good luck to all those employees and thanks for bringing me my sports fix all these years.

Donte OUT, Ant OUT, Ayo OUT. Didn't matter, TSJ and JMac came for blood.

BOOM

I was more pumped for the Wild series win, what a game to close out the series against Dallas... Hughes with the go ahead goal and then two empty netters. Avs will be tough, but it's awesome to see the Wild advance after years of being good. NHL needs to change their playoff format, so stupid if you're the 3rd best team in the conference, you play the #2 and then have to play the #1 if you advance. Seed it up based on record.

The Saw enjoyed what he....ummm.....saw.....

Christian Darrisaw had a great view for the Wild’s series clinching win last night 🏒 🥅

You guys are good fans, glad to see the Wild and Wolves take it down. Now come the mighty Avs for Minnesota...😐

I don't have a dog in the fight, but my hatred of the Avalanche runs deep as a Red Wings fan. F Claude Lemieux....and Patrick Roy.

Are you kidding me? Jaden McDaniels lead the Wolves and Quin Hughes leads the Wild to two series wins in a single night. This has to be just unbelievable.

watched both last night and was at the wolves game on Saturday. Fun times no matter how far they go.

Yup!

What a night. Jaden McDaniels and Quinn Hughes were unbelievable.

Wolves beat Denver, now San Antonio. Wild beat Dallas, now Colorado. Weird Texas and Colorado connection across sports.

The Wolves without Ant and Donte, they really added depth. Dosunmu and Anderson were out too. The Wild also added depth and defense was outstanding. They really limited Dallas 5 on 5.

It has been fun watching Jayden Mcdaniels mature during the playoffs. They can have something special keeping him and Ant together as a core for years to come.

Happy for the Wild though I am more of a Jets fan). Would love to see the Wild and the Sabres keep moving on. Nice to see 4 newer teams getting to the semis in the NHL playoffs. Am tired of the cup residing in Florida.

I was a Vikings fan when the only sports team in Florida was the Dolphins. Imagine how hard it was watching the Bucs win, not one but two Superbowls before we can even get back. Then watching two new NHL teams win multiple Stanley cups while we can't even get there, not to mention a baseball team winning multiple WS. Their NFL fans are very rude at the games. I lived in Tampa from 88-92 and can't stand them.

Individual shoutout to Jesper Wallstedt. What phenomenal goaltending.

It's great to see the Wolves consistently be in the mix.

Timberwolves are the only team left in the playoffs without a championship.

Goodbye lightning, it's good to see you go.

I absolutely loved seeing McDaniels and Gobert get the best of Jokic and Murray. Seeing Reid, TSJ and Hyland grow and develop has been awesome
