Yeah I called her up. She gave me a bunch of crap about me not listening to her, or something. I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention. ~ Dumb and Dumber
10 years ago:
A McChicken was $1
A dozen eggs were $1.50
A Chipotle burrito was $6.50
Netflix was $9
A full tank of gas was $35
Rent was $1,400
A used Honda was $10,000
Bert Kreischer had Tom Segura CRYING TEARS after finding out he filled his huge water bottle with red Kool-Aid instead of water and started drinking it 😭💀👀
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. 🙏💔
NEW: Team USA honors Johnny Gaudreau, who was killed by an alleged drunk driver, by bringing his kids on the ice.
Gaudreau was set to make the U.S. Olympics team before he & his brother were hit by a car in August of 2024.
His kids are now 2 and 3.

Good morning beautiful people..
Life is a wild thing.. one moment you can be staring into a mirror at a broken person and then the next moment a spark of motivation and inspiration can drop into your universe and change the trajectory of it all.
Maybe it’s a memory of a good time or better days.. maybe it’s a random run-in with a life changing energy.. maybe it’s a perspective changer like the death of somebody you love.. or MAYBE.. just maybe.. you get to the point that you decide to finally say fuck it, and eliminate the anchors and start seeking out the things that make you feel good. Things that make you feel worthy.. things that make you focus on being happy while you do your one and only existence on this planet. Everyday is a chance for war if you want it… and on the flip side.. everyday if you consciously look for it, there is an opportunity to find something that makes you celebrate being alive.
We woke up today.. let’s remember that THAT IS A WIN.
Good luck aht there
