Minor hockey kids who think they’re “working hard” need to watch this. Different level of compete.

[Marissa Voss™ @marissavoss]

You know what? I love this team so much and whatever happens happens. The Wild have done something they haven’t done in 11 years and I think anything else past the 1st round is a cherry on top. Let’s try to enjoy the ride and #believe

Your eyes (and the rule book) tell you that this is boarding but Avs fans want you to ignore that.

Dirty hit.

[Paul Bissonnette @BizNasty2point0]

Bang. Dallas is dead. The Minnesota Wild are off to the second round. 3 straight wins to knock off a contender. Have a night Minnesota. The State of Hockey is back baby. Go easy on our boy @mattmurley19.

[Ryan Whitney @ryanwhitney6]

What a night for Minnesota. Amazing fans and they’re finally getting out of the first round. Quinn Hughes is a complete superstar. He floats out there. What a move by Billy Guerin trading for him. Team became dominant with him. Avs Wild should be incredible.

[Alex Micheletti @AlexMicheletti]

Jamie Benn should be suspended for game 6, just absolutely brutal #mnwild #texashockey

[Ryan Whitney @ryanwhitney6]

Not frauds not frauds ! @mattmurley19 Matt Boldy is a complete dawg

[Matteo @MNWildTalk]

@RussoHockey I assume Jamie Benn is getting nothing for his hit on Boldy? Or Johnston for his spear on Kaprizov?

[Alex Micheletti @AlexMicheletti]

Can the stars stop with the head shots to #mnwild players thanks

[MN State Of Hockey @MNState0fHockey]

Jamie Benn is a dirty player. Period.

[Ryan Whitney @ryanwhitney6]

Awful call on Brodin in Minnesota Dallas game. One of the worst I’ve seen in the playoffs

[Brett Marshall @B_Marsh92]

Wes McCauley doing everything in his power to make this game about him. Some atrocious calls both ways

[𝕛𝕒𝕪 @SadVikes]

Slashes boldy twice, then crosschecks him

Gets a "fuck off" slash back

Falls over and acts like he got shot

Classic #TexasHockey diving for you

[Michael Russo @RussoHockey]

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. 🙏💔

[Alex Micheletti @AlexMicheletti]

Acquiring an elite player like Quinn Hughes changes everything and gives all the players a confidence boost #mnwild
