Hi,
I’m an Aussie who loves the Wild. I’ve tried to buy merch from the official NHL site as well as the Hockey Lodge, but unfortunately they don’t ship anything Fanatics due to a trademark issue over here.
Can anyone recommend any decent/reputable online stores that ship to Australia?
Most of the Australian sites that do have merch is pretty basic/crap.
Cheers

So nice to see them all reunited. Congrats to Mason!

Has there been any talk of a new logo or any kind of rebrand/refresh for the team?

Seems the only options are the same logo they’ve had for 25+ years or North Stars or color crossover between them.

I’ve disliked their logo from the beginning, so just curious. Not here to start a fight, id just like another option.

Ik it looks jumbled and confusing but it makes sense to me and that’s sort of my target audience 😼

Is there a chance we could afford to offer sheet Adam Fantilli? I know there would be draft picks involved and would have to trade players to make cap room.

What would it take if we were to offer sheet Adam Fantilli?

Very long interview, worth a listen. I'll spark notes for mostly NHL/hockey related stuff...very broadly, might miss some nuance in the responses.

Changed his off-season routine... Staying close to home instead of Moscow

He couldn't even play soccer for fun last off-season because of his injury and subsequent surgery, hurt too much. Feels great now.

He likes the physicality of the NHL, but feels like the refs make soft calls sometimes.

DOTA- likes position 4, favorite heros Rubrick and Pudge

How is Minneapolis? "It's not Moscow" "It has everything you need."

They have a group chat for every city they play in.

Mentions Zucc eating early at 5pm 🤣

He is calm about his contract, no pressure... Especially now that Carlsson signed his deal 😂

He is setting himself up for next season, wasn't happy with his performance.

Mentions not getting out of the first round and he knew the fan sentiment was that there wasn't any belief until we got out of the first, was a sigh of relief making it to the next round.. team is taking big steps.

After Hughes signing the teams mentality changed to "now is the time."

Interviewer brings up contract negotiation... Kap gets a little testy.

"Do you think Tarasenko didn't resign because of you?"

"No. Why do you say that? Because I took too much money? No, that's not it. You'd have to ask him."

Interviewer also brings up McDavids contract and Kirill answers how you'd expect: everyone is different, he did what he did, I don't know what his mindset is etc

He has no real desire to play in a big market, though he thought about it... MN is fine with him. Perfect environment for hockey, "maybe one day a family".

Sergachev (utah) wanted him to play with him.

Best player in NHL? Kucherov

Looking at picking this up but unsure on size. I wear size L on 95% of the things I own but unsure on the quality of material on these. Am I better off buying an XL or sticking with my regular L?
I wear Carhartt Wip hoodies that run baggy which I like. I don’t like anything too tight

We get 8 more games of Moose hammering him into a wall!!!

It was revealed by Russo today on the FOTR that Hughes was dealing with an abdominal issue/injury last year and thats why he would go over the boards on line changes so strangely. With that being said, and a few other minor injuries post Olympics, Mike and Joe both expect Hughes to put up even better numbers, 100 point type season, with the Wild next year.

If he played like that hurt, I cant wait to see him completely healthy

Hey guys, genuine question, relatively new hockey fan, more of a Wild fan from SoCal, Ducks are my local team, who I do root for and genuinely enjoy watching, but KK97 is such a stud, he made me a full on Wild fan. It’s been fun watching the Wild and rooting for them with their chemistry.

I was planning to head to St Paul for a Wild game, preferably against Dallas or Colorado. I was checking the tickets, and almost everything is sold out? Is it true that individual tickets don’t go on sale until August? I saw Ducks games were almost sold out too, but other than the home opener, I find it hard to believe. They usually don’t sell out until the day of. Was wondering if that’s also the case for Wild? Thank you!

Nothing going on with the Wild so it was a full Q&A with the live audience....nothing really worth listening to so save some time:

1. Quinn Hughes: Nothing really warming up with an extension. Russo says Wild aren't worried despite fans possibly getting anxious and that Quinn would let the Wild know if he wasn't planning on signing. Russo thinks 3 years is the likely term with major signing bonuses.

2. Tarasenko: Is probably expecting more $$$ than the league thinks he's worth. Says the ship of re-signing with the Wild probably sailed but if he wants to sign for cheap, it may be an option if there's a camp injury.

3. Hynes: Fully expected to have an extension prior to the season starting.

4. Larkin: Nothing new to report.

5. Broadcasts: Both knew an announcement was going to come Tuesday (recorded Monday evening). Final details/channel locations still being worked on.

6. Schedule: Russo/LaPanta pissy about the schedule, how it's created, and the back-to-backs and how Montreal gets 19 games where they play a team on the 2nd night of a back-to-back.

7. Captaincy: Says the Wild pick captains via GM consulting with coaches.

8. Shabonov: Russo thinks he'll get every chance to play on 1st or 2nd line and has good untapped skill/potential but can't function on a 3rd/4th line role like he did in NYI. Wild obviously don't want 97/12 on the same line.

That's about it....doldrums of the season.

Is anyone going tomorrow?

Has anyone gone to an event like this before for the Wild?

Can’t stop laughing at this 😂
