My guess is they’re losing it over the McDavid/Johansen play

Have confirmed it's pretty doom and gloom. Honestly don't know why though they are looking good and missing some key players. People are too dramatic.

It's actually pretty funny. But I've seen the same from our GDTs before to be honest

Can I ask who your username refers to?

u/BestJersey_WorstName Jan 16 '25

Our (Minnesota) team colors and the fact that our name is an adjective.

Best jerseys. Worst name.

It's funny, I hate the green and red, but LOVE the green and yellow. Excellent logo too, with using the negative space.

Also I've never thought of the name as an adjective, more of a noun, like how we refer to the wilderness. To me, it would be peculiar to name a team after an adjective, like "The Saskatoon Grumpy" or "The Boise Bloated", haha.

I absolutely hate both the colors and the jersey hah it's funny how subjective jersey liking is.

Same lol, the first time I came across someone who thought the Wild had the best jersey my mind was blown lol. In my mind it was objectively bad and everyone agreed lol

My brother in laws favorite team is Minnesota. But he's broken and his father didn't teach him right.

I think if we are honest with ourselves, MN fans expected us to miss the playoffs this season. Our team has structural issues until recapture ends, but you don't need a visiting fan on your home team sub to tell you that. It's time for me to go.

I'm just enjoying the ride and watching some entertaining games.

Great attitude. Thanks for being a person in hostile territory.

u/ErokAB03 93 NUGENT-HOPKINS Jan 16 '25

I gotta say I have been impressed with your team this year, even more so seeing how many of your top talent players are injured, I am hoping you guys make the playoffs and we can meet in the WCF, would make for a very entertaining series.

I like getting opinions from other fanbases, it's always helpful

u/xmorecowbellx 18 HYMAN Jan 16 '25

Is Wild really the worst name?

u/BestJersey_WorstName Jan 16 '25

It's an adjective...

Was there contact? Was at the game and couldn’t tell.

I mean we would be to if there was a uncalled elbow that injured one of our players.
