*** 2025-26 NHL Thread ***

The next couple days are going to be insane for both the NHL and NBA. So many game 6s setup for a potential for a lot of game 7s. Never would have thought so many 1st round series would be this close heading into the playoffs.
And as a MN fan, with the Wolves and Wild each up 3-2 and playing at home tonight with a chance to clinch the series, I have my nut cup handy.

Life of a MN fan . . .

I think you’ll get the Wild to advance tonight and the Wolves to lose in 7.
 
Do not underestimate the ability of MN pro sports to kick you in the nuts.
I’m not entirely sure how all you Minnesota + ISU fans have survived. I’ve usually been able to lean on my Denver teams during dark ISU times.

Edit: I guess you have good fishing at least

Grew up in Minnesota. Attended ISU for undergraduate an became a ISU fan when I enrolled. The transition was smooth!!

But it does make winning more enjoyable. You just learn to adapt: like tonight I am assuming both teams will lose. I’m ready for it. But if either one wins, it will be euphoria

The Wild have been a bad home team this year, so I won't be shocked if they blow this.
The Wolves are home, the Twins are home and the Wild are home. Crazy.

Look at it this way: The Wild and Wolves can still pee it away. We still got the Twins! LOL
 
First playoff series win for the Wild in 11 years. As a MN fan, it’s euphoria!

Get the feeling the winner of Avs-Wild will go to the Stanley Cup finals
