Minnesota sports fans have a right to be pissed

Our drought is truly an anomaly

[Dudes Posting Their W’s @DudespostingWs]

Kid hits two home runs, including a grand slam, and signs the ball after the game to give to his grandpa who couldn't be more proud.

Despite losing in six against Minnesota Jamie Benn had an UNREAL series:

0 goals 😱😱😱😱
0 assists 🔥🔥🔥🔥
0 points 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Just built different 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

[Michael Russo @RussoHockey]

Jamie Benn opening door and Jake Middleton jumping out through the door as Marvin Bourque, who put Middleton on the bench, waits for Middleton to leave so he can then go through that open door … is legit funny

[MN Johan @mnjohan]

Here you go @NHL @ScoutingTheRefs what a great Hollywood moment by the great Jamie Benn. WTF.

[Mark Lazerus @MarkLazerus]

Habs-Lightning is at 7 p.m.
Bruins-Sabres is at 7:30.

ESPN has both games. It works fine.

So please explain why fans in the Central Time Zone have to wait until 8:52 p.m. (again) tomorrow night when there's just one earlier game? God forbid a kid watch a hockey game.

[Eric Nathan @BarstoolNate]

This is it. Must watch video. Ovi’s impact is beyond just what he did on the rink. Prepare to cry.

Me in a work meeting, waiting to say "Nothing on my end."

[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. 🙏💔

Colin Dorgan scored four goals during BVS' playoff run - including the game-tying goal to force OT in the championship game tonight.

Before that, he only had two in his high school career.

How does he explain it?

"Throughout all of the playoffs, even in this game, in the overtimes, I truly felt it in my heart, in my soul that they're still with me." @NBC10

[Jason Feldman @PBFeldy]

Incredible. 🥹
Colin Dorgan, the young man who lost three family members in a shooting at a hockey rink last month, scored the tying goal tonight to send the Rhode Island state championship game to OT.
His team won the state title in the 4th OT.
Heartbreaking. Heartwarming.

[Philadelphia Flyers @NHLFlyers]

Alex Bump's family continues to amaze. 😂🧡

#PHIvsMIN | #LetsGoFlyers

[Joe Ley @jley26]

Wow.

[Jon Root @JonnyRoot_]

Colin Dorgan, whose mother, brother & grandfather were murdered in Rhode Island by his trans father at a hockey game last month, scored the game-winning goal in double OT, sending his high school team to the championship.

Great story of resilience.
