Bill Guerin on USA players being disparaged because of White House/SOTU attendance: "I'm not surprised at anything nowadays. I'm not surprised, but I'm also not letting it bother me. You know what? We just won a Gold Medal. Nothing's going to ruin this. I don't care what people say or what they think. That's one hell of a team. Those kids are all great people, good family men and nothing that anybody could ever say would make me change my mind. I don't care."
@RussoHockey on the next podcast with you and @AnthonyLaPanta@TalkNorthPod discuss how every score keeper can be so different with their interpretation of what a shot is? Ball arena has no problem giving everyone a stat
Unbelievable work by @FanDuelSN_NOR and an unreal quote by @Gorgamatic21 on this MacKinnon quote. “Some would say the judges are reserved for figure skating.” #mnwild#GoAvsGo
I’m watching the @mnwild press conference with Bill Guerin and he just had an all-time quote:
“I love Minnesota. Our players love Minnesota. This is a great place to play, but no matter what — whether you have good weather, good taxes, good — I don’t know, whatever. The hockey has to be good. You can live in the sun, you can live in these great places or make a little more money, but if the hockey isn’t good, you won’t be happy. So, that’s what really matters. If the hockey is good, if your job is good, you will be happy — and I think Quinn will be really happy here.”
I love how Billy G is inhaling whisky dishing out cash and making moves. Have to respect it. Like fuck it let’s try to win this fucking thing who cares anymore. The real Wild fans deserve this. Idk about the online Subaru brigade fans. They are mean people. Happy for true fans
Joe Pohlad and the Pohlad family aren’t just a disgrace to baseball, they’re a stain on the entire state of Minnesota.
Their story starts in the Great Depression, not as scrappy underdogs, but as profiteers who made their fortune foreclosing on homes of desperate families who had lost everything. From day one, they were taking from the poor to enrich the rich, and that ethos has never left them.
For decades, the Pohlads have been infamously cheap, demanding that Minnesota’s taxpayers and fans foot the bill for their every whim. They’re not savvy businesspeople, they’re parasites.
In the early 2000s, they nearly let the Twins die. Attendance was down, they refused to invest, and the team was on the chopping block to be contracted alongside the Expos. The only thing that saved the franchise was a court injunction forcing them to honor their Metrodome lease.
By 2006, they convinced Minnesota to cover seventy-five percent of Target Field’s cost. A billion-dollar family, holding out its hand to working-class Minnesotans and demanding payment.
Fast forward to 2016, Jim Pohlad hires Derek Falvey to modernize the organization. For a moment, there was hope. Player development technology, advanced analytics, and a revamped coaching staff started to pay off. By 2019, the Twins won 100 games. By 2023, they broke their playoff curse. The arrow was pointing up.
Then Joe Pohlad took over, and steered the ship straight into the iceberg. He “right-sized” the team, gutted investments in talent and infrastructure, and erased the analytical and developmental edge the Twins had built.
By July 31, 2025, the gut punch landed: an all-time pathetic trade deadline where they dumped eleven players in a payroll purge disguised as a “fresh start.” It wasn’t a reset, it was a surrender.
The final hope Twins fans clung to was the idea that the Pohlads might finally sell. Now we know they won’t.
Joe Pohlad, and the rest of your dynasty of leeches, you are nothing more than generational thieves. You take from people who make less than you, give back nothing, and expect them to be grateful. Minnesota doesn’t owe you thanks. Minnesota owes you the door.
Fuck you, Pohlad family.
